Is it just me or did you notice a huge disconnect between Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s older appearance and the baby-like quality of her voice and presentation?
The juxtaposition was hard to miss.
I am not trying to shame her, but she looks exceedingly older for her age than one would expect. Sometimes time isn't kind to us, but the mismatch between her inner world and her outer self is a huge discrepancy.
For a woman who was by her account in a stressful situation in the hearing room, as she said “terrified,” she seemed to be all smiles and enjoying the doting attention of the men and women around her, whether her handlers or others.
Although she spoke with a teeny tiny baby voice, her eyes were blank and staring into space virtually expressionless. Her glasses seemed to be like props. Deliberately oversized as if to somehow emphasize she was in possession of high intellect. Or at least that was the vibe that I got. It didn't sell me.
She seemed highly agitated and irritated. I found her painful to watch and listen to because the way she presented herself was so at odds with the level of maturity I expected from a woman of 51. Everything about her seemed inauthentic. The looks didn't match the voice, didn't match the eyes, didn't match the glasses. Her periodic joyous smiles at all the attention she was receiving seemed inappropriate. And no matter how many times she swigged down that Coke, I couldn't help but thinking she wasn't the "real thing".
Perhaps because she wasn't.

I think she has had mental issues for a long time. Hence the alienation from her family. Notice the absence of her parents at the show. They probably wanted nothing to do with it. Apparently, she comes from a good family that could afford to send her to very expensive private school.
She is damaged goods. She is/was also a slut. 54 sexual partners in high school. That is 9-10 a year. She was supposedly called the 19th hole a the private country clubs of Maryland. She most likely has/had serious alcohol/drug problems. She also most likely suffers from depression or is bipolar or worse.
Either that or she is a brilliant mastermind actor genius.
Without presuming to denigrate a woman’s feelings, I do think that the Democrats have assigned pretty much infinite significance to the charge. I mean, in any decision the significance of it is the seriousness of the issue times the certainty that the issue is or will become real. In a “he said, she said” situation certainty is not available, and you have to consider “how important is this if it is true” as well as, “how likely is it that it is true.”In the case of deciding to buy a cup of coffee, the cost is certain and small, an impulse buy. Deciding to buy a luxury car, the cost is certain and not so small - big decision. Buy a lottery ticket? Cost isn’t a lot, possible payoff huge - probability of payoff essentially nil.
The Republicans should simply point out that, on this charge, even if it is true Kavanaugh didn’t start WWIII. But if the vote is delayed, on the available evidence we have to assume that within two weeks Kavanaugh will have “been the mastermind behind 9/11,” in another month he will have "bombed Pearl Harbor," and in another couple of months he will have “sunk the Lusitania."
Ford may suffer from Trumpphobia syndrome.
Typical freaking liberal this so called Dr. Ford.
I work around these types of women for 31 years now as my company is very lib.
They scream all day and never happy.
But why was she in therapy, and why is she the way she is - squeaky little girl voice and nervous mannerisms?
I'm not a mental health professional, but (assuming it's not all a put-on or a reaction to having to testify) those can be signs that someone was deeply damaged early on in life.
Childhood abuse is a possibility, and investigators usually start looking within the family.
If I said she had been a victim of incest and left it at that, I was wrong - incest would limit the suspects to a few names and they might all be innocent.
But I don't think I was wrong to mention the possibility that she was abused, and I still think that line of speculation is not just less objectionable, but more relevant and more to the point than going down the nutty nympho slut route.
Most likely he's right, but that PGA snickering was unworthy of him.
There was an article published in the WP a few days ago that discusses the Blaseys and their lack of public support for their daughter.
She grew up in a family of three children, with two older brothers, both of whom went to Landon. Her parents are registered Republicans.
The article indicates that she doesn’t get along with her family that well, although she still travels once a year, with her children, to visit and go to the Country Club.
Perhaps she experienced some early trauma, or perhaps she led a very privileged life, and was spoiled rotten. Either could explain a lack of maturity.
As for the anxiety, I am not entirely convinced that most of it wasn’t an act.
There was something off about her personality during the hearing, but I can’t point out exactly what.
