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.

I think she’s scared shitless and needs a few tranquilizers.
With all the drama, one could assume that she was raped.
Wouldn’t it be a kicker if it turns out that she’s the one who made advances on some guy and was rejected. His buddy saved him. This left her traumatized because no guy has ever said “no” to her previously.
and there's Harley D.. No chance of experiencing any claustrophobia on a bike.
A drunken boy trying to touch her drunken body somehow made her claustrophobic?

Fibromyalgia too.

I meant.... see # 7.
I don’t buy it. Check the records and they’ll find she’s flown before.
She’ll only start out after she runs out of excuses to delay.
Have her attorneys ever met her or did they just take her on for their own political agenda? Can’t say I see much brilliance there.
Think of the possibilities if she shows up in DC. The investigators can take her to the “scene of the crime” in MD - shouldn’t take long! But that’s only IF she can identify the correct location!
This is getting to be fun instead of disgust!
“When she moved to Hawaii for a one-year internship to complete her PhD — taking a cheap studio apartment within board-carrying distance of Sans Souci Beach”
How did she get to Hawaii then? Slow boat to China?
On one of the many cruise ships that sail from the West Coast.
.
Maybe John Madden could lend her his bus.
I didn’t realize that the severely mentally ill (aka: lunatic) could get a driver’s license.
Hey Christine Blasey...Blase mir einen.
