Well, it kind of was Graham who made her cry, but not in a bad way. Of course, I haven't heard anybody ask her why she left, but it seemed there were too possibilities.

First, while she wasn't moved by the attacks on her husband, because she knew the democrats were dispicable, Graham's reference to how all those who knew Alito moved her to tears, and the other woman sitting next to her suggested she should step outside so her emotional state wasn't played out on national TV.

Second, it could be that hearing Graham focus on how in fact the democrats were really saying her husband was evil clarified in her mind something she was trying to ignore, and confronted with that truth she broke down and cried.

In either case, while it wasn't Graham's FAULT she cried, it was something he said that triggered her tears. I don't think that is a bad thing -- he should get credit if his words were so appropriate that it made her cry.

I pick this one. It is quite moving to be told that there are reams of favorable testimonials. No way that she thinks the veiled charges of bigotry, dishonesty, etc. have any merit. She shrugs that stuff off as "consider the source."

I said this last night. We women are tigers protecting our families when they are attacked, and we get good and mad. But then when kindness is displayed, we often break down. It's the kindness that undoes us after days of attacks.
