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:

Stranger things have been arranged.
I’m surprised she isn’t hitchhiking.

And just to file under the things that make you go hmm...
The Dr. Kate from the article who affirms Chritine’s longstanding fear of inescapable spaces has an “under construction” website for something it looks like she’ll be pushing.
Well, on her Twitter account she does describes herself as an entrepreneur.
What a circus.
There is always Amtrak or Greyhound.
HOW CONFINED is a car for 3000 miles-—with a deadline to get there?
They have to vote on Kavanaugh no later than Thursday or he can NOT join the SC this session. Would leave us with a 4-4 court for another year.
Perhaps she goes by Patsy.
This has become a fvcking Benny Hill farce at this point.
I can hear the music playing-

Where did you get that idea?
Just another delaying tactic. This is just plain garbage. This is democratic cesspool stunt. It smells of anul excrement.
She’s playing a dangerous game with the wrong people. Democrats aren’t, um, “gentle creatures”.
When I think of all the guys who attempted to maul me, and then all the flights I’ve had on planes..... wow. I am so brave, aren’t I? I guess if a guy gropes you in high school, you could never be an astronaut.
Imagine someone that powerful on the Supreme Court. Maybe Notorious is secretly rooting for him.
For all this hoopla, she better have been raped and is not lying about it.
Send out Air Force One to pick her up.
Yep, NUTS!
She has probably been nuts for a long time
s this a joke? This woman is bizarre? Watch, her car will breakdown and the hearing will have to be rescheduled.
She’ll accuse the GOP of slashing her tires, running out of gas, bad weather, I’m sure she has a full book of excuses
