I guess she's slipping in her old age.

But maybe we should consider what she was given to work with.

Yes, but only a GOP Troll would infer that anything was slimy about these facts...(end sarcasm )

You have to be an utter fool to buy the notion that this is a legit accusation. I just want to shake suburban soccer moms out of their stupor.

Can someone post her picture. Another plug ugly horse faced dem flak and hack. Her official resume is:

Ricki Seidman is a senior principal at TSD Communications. Her areas of specialty include solving short- and long-term communications challenges, developing public affairs strategies, campaign planning and execution, crisis management, litigation support, media training and reputation management. Her clients have included Google, Bechtel, News Corp/MySpace, Napster, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and Shawn Fanning. In 2017, Seidman was appointed to the ACS board of directors.

During the Clinton Administration, Seidman served as White House Deputy Communications Director, Counselor to the Chief of Staff and Director of Scheduling and Advance for the President. She also served as Deputy Associate Attorney General in the Department of Justice.

During the Obama Administration, she assisted the White House in the successful confirmation effort for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. She worked on President Obama’s general election campaign as Vice President Joe Biden’s Communications Director, ran the 1992 Clinton-Gore campaign War Room, and directed a campaign that led to the successful passage of the Clinton economic plan in 1993. Seidman worked for Senator Ted Kennedy, of Massachusetts, as Chief Investigator on the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee. She has also worked in senior positions for Rock the Vote and People for the American Way. Earlier in her career, she was a Harvard University Institute of Politics fellow.

Seidman received her J.D. from University of Georgia and her B.A. from Miami University.

That's a winning track record, if I ever saw one.

I'm guessing that she was also able to keep Clarence Thomas away from the Supreme Court.

With her track record, democrats need her to work for them full time.

The Anita Hill hearing was an EPIC FAIL for Democrats.

If I were in their shoes I sure wouldn’t hire this guy again.

Essay; The Plot To Savage Thomas

The full story of the conspiracy to blackmail Clarence Thomas into withdrawing will not be told until after the Senate votes on his confirmation Tuesday. But the outlines of the plot to use Anita Hill to bring him down are clear.

Ricki Seidman, aide to that defender of womanhood, Senator Ted Kennedy, and James Brudney, aide to Senator Howard Metzenbaum, were tipped off by the legion of liberal activists digging for dirt that Professor Hill harbored a secret grudge against Judge Thomas.

They called her and persuaded her to file the accusation that the reassembled Bork Brigade thought would surely bring him down.

Washington DC is really just a fetid sewer. At least swamps have mangroves and wildlife, making the moniker too good for them.

Imagine the scene:

Dem: We want to trash and torpedo the Kavanaugh nomination, Bob.

Bob: I’ll give you the names of people to handle this. Let’s see here in my smartphone rolodex...
Character and reputation destruction...witness who remembers just enough to ruin a man’s life but no details to verify with evidence...

Here, these will take you where you want to go. This one has experience in trashing Bork and Thomas, even. They may charge extra but worth it. Call Soros if you run low on money for this.

Brands one as worth only launching into the sun.
The only way to go lower is to work for CNN or Google.
