I can hear someone yelling “Liar” and the silent horror in reply. That was a great moment, eh?

You know, I’ve been telling people that I was there for that speech for 30 years.... And, I’ve always believed it. After you posted that, I thought I’d go try to verify it.... I remember the date I was there, because it was just a few days after I’d been laid off, on October 19, 1987... The day of the market crash. You don’t forget days like that.

Turns out, Ted’s initial famous tirade was made on July 1, 1987.... On the day Bork was nominated. The final confirmation hearing (when Bork was rejected) was on October 23, 1987. So, I guess I was there for the final floor speeches prior to the vote. I did watch Teddy go through the same basic tirade.... This time, with his pre-printed posters.

I was tempted to yell “Liar”! :-)
