#1, as a fair-minded person (I hope) who tries to overcome my own biases (I hope) I could concede that Ford was "sincere and sympathetic" if you give her the benefit of the doubt. But how the hell do you get "credible"? "Sincere and sympathetic" are functions of "sincerity" and "sympathy", the former being subjective, and the latter emotional. But "credible" is supposed to be fact-based, objective: does she have a clear, non-self-contradictory account? (No.) Does she have corroborating evidence? (No.) How do you get to "credible" when there's little consistency and no evidence?
#2, now indulging my own biases: I didn't (subjectively) get sympathetic, either. I have a moderate hearing disability. I don't follow audio accounts for that reason: things sound muffled to me, and I find it irksome to have to concentrate so hard on simple auditory intelligibility. I much prefer print accounts.
But I swear to God: my husband was listening to her testimony on the radio in the next room, and I heard her voice and (not knowing who she was) I yelled:
"Who IS that woman you're listening to?" My husband: "You can hear that?" Me: "Whoever it is, that's the most striking specimen of 'vocal fry' I've heard in years. This woman, whoever she is, is 'putting on the voice' to manipulate an audience."
Holy cow. It was so obvious a half-deaf person could hear it through a wall.
So no, I don't call her sympathetic OR credible.
Amirite?
Thanks be to God Kavanaugh was confirmed.
That's all I can say.
Well she and her husband got a new home and relocation with thousands in their pay pal......they had to leak her story in order to use the press as reasons for their relocation. But they were no doubt ‘paid’ up front for this show.

Remember, most Perjurers come across as Credible, especially the ones coached by their Attorneys.
