Christine Ford has finally agreed to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday. But who knows? — the woman just might be nuttier than squirrel poop.
Right now the meeting is “tentative,” but if I were a betting person I wouldn’t lay odds on it happening.
That’s because the terms — which of course would never be given to us if you and I were to ever appear — are still ‘largely unclear.’
Sen. Orrin Hatch is calling baloney on this scheduled appearance — and he’s a good Mormon so I doubt he would actually use the word bullshit. But I’m not Mormon, so yes, this ‘tentative’ date is probably just more bullshit:
“This is exactly where we were on Monday morning . . . we are no closer to hearing from Dr. Ford than we were when her lawyers said Dr. Ford was willing to testify during their media tour. . .”
But the longer the Christine Ford saga drags on, the more unhinged she seems to be.
For example, remember how last week she said she wouldn’t attend a hearing on Monday because she ‘didn’t want to fly’?
Now we find out that she wanted to flee the country if Kavanaugh became Justice. Not only that, but she thought about . . . wait for it . . . moving to New Zealand.
How in the world did she plan to get to New Zealand? Row a boat, maybe?

And, consider this: how manic is she to be terrified that Brett Kavanaugh — sitting on the other side of the country — might end up on SCOTUS? According to Ford’s husband:
“She was like, ‘I can’t deal with this. If he becomes the nominee, then I’m moving to another country. I cannot live in this country if he’s in the Supreme Court.'”
I’m not the psychologist that Dr. Christine Ford is, but holy frijoles, does this behavior not strike you as completely irrational?
But wait, there’s more.
Yet another person whom Christine Ford claimed attended the infamous party doesn’t remember ever being there. Furthermore, the woman, Leland Ingham Keyser, says she’s a lifelong friend of Ford.
On Saturday, Keyser’s attorney, Howard Walsh, sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which reads in part:
“Simply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford.”
For those of you keeping score at home, that makes it Denier Number Four.
Committee source says they’ve contacted five people alleged to be at party. 4 deny any knowledge of the party and allegations. 5th person – Dr. Ford – is the only one who has not provided them a statement. #Kavanaugh

Oh, but the doors on this sham are now blowing wide open. And now the media — the Washington Post to be precise — apparently have been covering up some of the discrepancies in Ford’s story.
Follow me here, boys and girls.
Emma Brown, who wrote the original Post story revealing Ford’s name, had contacted Mark Judge, a witness, on the incident. Judge declined to comment, as Brown wrote in her report.
1) More big breaking news, which further undercuts the Ford accusation, as well as media handling of it. A source has given me the email that WaPo reporter Emma Brown sent to Mark Judge, one person Ford claims was at the party. This email is dated Sunday, Sept. 16, 2018

But we find that Brown had the names of the ‘witnesses’ all along.
3) One part of the email to Judge reads: "In addition to Brett Kavanaugh and Mark Judge, whom she called acquaintances she knew from past socializing, she recalls that her friend Leland (last name then was Ingham, now Keyser) was at the house and a friend of the boys named PJ."

Then there’s the issue of the number of partygoers, which Christine Ford just couldn’t get straight. But that’s okay, the WaPo just looked the other way.

Here’s more evidence of media shenanigans:
11) Wow. "Before her name became public, Ford told…" That is WaPo admitting that it had the name, and had Ford's response to what would clearly be a Keyser denial, but NEVER PUT IT OUT THERE. Again, why? A lot of people have a lot questions to answer.

Clearly this has become a clown car, with Sen. Diane Feinstein at the wheel, the nutty Dr. Ford riding shotgun, and Senate Democrats crammed into the backseat. But now the wheels are falling off.
Yet they don’t care as they try to run over Brett Kavanaugh on his way to the Supreme Court. Nor do they give a rat’s tuchas if they run over his innocent family, either.
This. Needs. To. Stop. Take the vote. No matter what happens this Thursday.

What did I miss? Everybody, including you, say that Ford has agreed to testify on Thursday. Reading her lawyer’s latest response to Grassley it simply said Ford would like to talk to the committee, not “testify”, without a date specified, where, etc., etc. AND that they would just like to negotiate further the”unfair” terms the Senate is proposing. How is that “agreeing to testify on Thursday? ” Grassley just needs to just tell her to show up Monday morning at the scheduled hearing if she wants to be heard then vote. The Dems and press will scream regardless of how many concessions he makes. Why are repubs so naive/dumb?
Ms. Leland Keyser is the ex-wife of Bob Beckel. Beckel was an official in the Carter Administration, was the Fox house liberal for several years (Juan Williams is actually an improvement), and known for his cocaine use and association with prostitutes – e.g., Ms. Keyser is likely sympathetic to women who have actually been groped by a drunk and probably doesn’t support President Trump. Her denial of knowing Judge Kavanaugh or of seeing or hearing of the alleged incident is impossible for the Dems to ignore. Expect Prof. Ford to be grilled over this. I expect Ford to use “a woman’s weapon” either to cry or to walk out and claim bullying – both of which are insults to women who want to be regarded as equals to any man.
New Zealand eh? Well the government of NZ is reportedly enacting regulations to stop wealthy ex-patriots from other countries just moving in and buying up properties so as to avoid political turmoil in their own countries.
Dems new demand, all Republicans on the committee must wear sundresses.
