Cry me a river for Brett Kavanaugh, who is, by all indications, a jerk, another rich frat boy who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. Oh no, a rich frat boy is crying! ... Are we supposed to feel sorry for Brett Kavanaugh? Cry me a river for Brett Kavanaugh, who is, by all indications, a jerk, another rich frat boy who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.
How well I remember when I was in first grade...we always went outside for "recess". A mean little boy, I think his name was Tommy Jones, ran up behind me, raised up my skirt, while chanting, "...I see London, I see France, I can see your underpants!" Well, I was so humiliated that I have been afraid to wear a skirt ever since.
Talk about cliff-hangers. Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake suddenly extended the national drama - or is it trauma? - over Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court for a week.
You've all seen the SEC settlement with Elon Musk and Tesla . Notably, the charges filed were also against Tesla, unlike what we knew before Saturday afternoon.
It was difficult to watch the Blasey Ford-Kavanaugh hearings on Thursday for so many reasons and now to see the opposing sides play it all out in very nasty tones on social media. There seems to be no gray area and those inclined to believe Blasey-Ford did not have their minds changed and those backing Kavanaugh, dug in even deeper.

For Facebook, this is a huge blow - and the latest of several high-profile breaches that have cast renewed doubts on data privacy. This highlights the need for a robust public-private partnership when it comes to cybersecurity.
But some on the Republican side, most especially Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., felt there should be a delay in order that a deeper investigation might be launched into the allegations against the nominee. Included in the support for this maneuver were Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska.
Much of the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of Democrats, who chose to throw out an unsubstantiated, decadesold smear after sitting on it for weeks, refusing to air the grievance at the hearings or privately, as is protocol. However, liberals alone didn't destroy the process for good - Republicans played a part and all should be held accountable and work to set a new format for future nominations.
Sen. John Cornyn said the appalling final day of testimony on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh was the most "embarrassing scandal for the United States Senate since the McCarthy hearings." Patriotic Americans: We are on our own.
It's funny because Murphy was gung-ho for an FBI investigation before Republicans moved to make it a reality. It's worth pointing out now, just in case you were wondering how unserious Democratic lawmakers are when they say they want a fair and thorough investigation of the allegations against Kavanaugh.
Last Sunday, I'm sure most Denver Post readers were scratching their heads, as I was, when they saw Donald Trump Jr.'s diatribe against Democrats splashed across the top of the Perspective section. I'm sure folks were wondering: Did Donald Trump Jr. just wake up one day with deep concerns that Coloradans don't know there's an election coming? Or is this part of a larger national Republican effort to energize their base before the November elections by attacking Democrats in the most nasty and untrue ways? Trump Jr. accused us of promoting violence in the name of politics and said we "stand for lawlessness, disorder and anarchy."
A new book by Bob Woodward and an anonymous op-ed piece in the New York Times paint a disturbing picture of the Trump White House. Some have called this White House power struggle "unprecedented," but it is not.
When the prospect of a Senate hearing to consider Christine Blasey Ford's charges against Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh were first raised, I wrote a column suggesting that the Senate use "outside counsel with experience in sexual harassment and assault" to question witnesses at the hearing. I argued it would make the proceeding more professional, more of a fact-finding hearing, and less of a political sideshow.
