Oy vey zmir! Kavanaugh’s hearing was contention alright, because of the contrived attempt to derail his nomination, including reaching into his childhood and reading his high school yearbook looking for hidden meaning and trotting out a lunatic who claims to have been the only adult to attend a dozen parties where underage boys stood in line waiting their turn to sexually assault underage women. Thankfully Senator Feinstein spared us from having that lunatic appear before Congress - but she did the MSM talk show circuit. If she had appeared before Congress everyone would have known it to be the manufactured circus that it was.
... and without putting said yearbook into the context of the passing boyish folderol that so many boys have gotten into. Kavanaugh wasn’t even given a fair chance to say that he’d repudiated all that as he continued to grow. Instead the harpies tried to damn him all to hell with that yearbook as their only evidence.
