</font><div>The next day after the Senate confirmation hearings drama (in case you missed it--LOL) another surprise, the decision to postpone the confirmation vote for one week so the FBI could conduct an "investigation" can only mean one thing:<b> not enough Republican votes to confirm</b>, so McConnell saved face by puting Flake up to requesting the postponement, since he's not in the reelection race anyway he can take the flake--I mean flack. (A week will give 'em enough time for serious arm twisting of the usual suspects). It's hard to imagine that Kavanagh will be confirmed, as he's damaged goods. Trump & Co. will probably nominate somebody worse. As our peerless leader is fond of saying, "we'll see what happens." (so far today: had to delete 76 more requests for political contributions; still no comments from you-all on recent D.C. developments. Guess everybody slept through it). </div>

Nary a question from Senators about the ethical and moral character pf his role in his political careers advising and implementing policies concerning sexual abuse and torture of U.S. captives in Iraq and dark sites throughout the world, or inconsistencies in his moral compass while pursuing faults of others.

<div>Whereas he was careful not to impugn the character or contest the veracity of his accuser (done a disservice by the trivial questioning and remarks of her partisan supporters), he dismissed her as mistaken or a confused victim of someone else. He couldn't be an abuser, demonstrating chivalorus decorum toward women by not labeling her a liar. He established in his reply to Texas Senator John Kennedy that he believes in God (worked for his one-time boss, W. Bush, when he was running for president), so he couldn't possibly tell a lie (or sexually assault this woman or anyone). </div>

<div>I wasted a couple of hours watching the Kabuki theatre (as Francis Boyle aptly called it)<span style="font-size:13.33px;"> but I simply had to witness it for myself, which I must say lived up to expectations of a stellar Clarence Thomas performance! I am surprised that my email box was not filled with commentary from the usual blogs critiquing this event. Maybe they boycotted it--and missed an outstanding performance, or else were so repulsed they couldn't believe what they saw (my box was nevertheless filled with 45 appeals for donations to the usual political organizations as a platform for their fundraising, which I had to delete)</span></div>
