Earlier today Allahpundit looked at the negotiations taking place between Christina Blasey Ford and the Judiciary Committee. The GOP agreed to push the date to Wednesday but is requiring that Ford testify first. A Politico story published today points to one additional factor which is apparently motivating Ford to push the date of the hearing back as far as possible: She plans to drive cross country to the hearing in Washington, DC.
The GOP has been told that Ford does not want to fly from her California home to Washington, according to the Republican senator, which means she may need to drive across the country to make the hearing. Ford has reportedly told friends she is uncomfortable in confined spaces, indicating a physical difficulty in making the trip by plane.
At first blush, this really sounds like a stunt. There are already people flying banners of support behind airplanes in northern California. Now Blasey is going to drive cross-country in what sounds an awful lot like a politician’s bus tour. No doubt we’ll be seeing excited tweets from people who encounter her at every gas stop along the way and probably a map showing her current location on
But last night, CNN published a story saying Ford’s claustrophobia has been known to her friends for years though they only recently learned she blamed it on her alleged assault at age fifteen:
So DeVarney and another friend have known about her discomfort in confined spaces but Ford only connected that to the alleged assault when she told her friend about it for the first time last month.

Or Judge Jeanine Pirro. That'd work for me.
There are likely states she could not be expected to travel through.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sick of this sh*t already!
[Now Blasey is going to drive cross-country in what sounds an awful lot like a politician’s bus tour. ]
Here it comes the caravan of lunatics to descend on Washington. What an absolute joke.
Out the country & out of her mind!
So one of her demands she made that had to be guaranteed before she would testify was She would need security,now she announces to the entire country she won’t fly but is going to drive across the entire country!
What could happen?
I’d rather have Juanita at this point. She could actually do some good for victims.
To go back to Valley Girl days, “gag me with a spoon.”
Stay at Motel 6 - we’ll keep a light on fer ya
Her legion of code pink pussyhats will interrupt proceedings
What could happen? Since the DNC operatives in this faux testimony will know her schedule, what will likely happen is the DNC will make a martyr out of her and the hit will be blamed on Trump supporters. Put NOTHING past the evil demoncraps.
LOL yup!

Real rape victims have injuries and bruises. What signs if an assault did she have?
You have to wonder why she didn't accept them coming to her.
Well, that didn’t take long. Reddit has an excerpt from some bio showing she did an internship at the University of Hawaii.
I guess it’s possible she’d prefer being on a boat she can’t get off of for days vs. a plane for a few hours, but that’s pretty thin.
“Christine Blasey Ford Will Drive Across Country Because She Doesn’t Like Airplanes”
I don’t blame her for that. I won’t fly either. Hope she has a bad one on I 80 in Nebraska with a semi.
A lot of guys did when you were a teen.
