"The
initial impression
was of naked emotional vulnerability,
but
Kavanaugh was setting a tone.
Embedded in the histrionics
were the
unmistakable notes
of fury and bullying."

Adolescent Tantrum

"So my friends,
keep the faith,
don't get rattled
by all of this -
we're gonna
plow through it
and do our job."

"I'm really grateful

"We got a little hiccup here

we’ll get through this

the nomination slugfest

“It is good
that
many female victims

of sexual harassment
and sexual assault

are
coming forward
and being heard

but this man
doesn’t deserve

When
Kavanaugh is not
crying or shouting,
he uses a distinctly adolescent
tone
that might best be described
as “talking back.”
If
Kavanaugh
is trying to convince
the public
that he could never have
been capable,
as a teen-ager,
of aggression
or peer pressure,
this is
an odd way
to go about it.
