Interpreting Entitlement

Last Friday, I watched some clips of the Brett Kavanaugh testimony, and I had trouble getting through just some of the clips. Watching a rich, white judge spout off like an entitled 5 year old who is acting like he’s upset that he might not get the birthday present he demanded for his birthday was a little hard to handle. I have trouble sympathizing with the plight of a man’s ruined reputation when he is blatantly lying about things that I can call him out on based on the evidence HE SUBMITTED! He claims never to have been to a gathering where he allegedly tried to rape Christine Blasey Ford? Really? Because based on the calendar that he submitted, on July 1, 1982, he went to EXACTLY that type of gathering with EXACTLY the people she mentioned. Reading the totality of his testimony over the weekend was ever more gag inducing. As soon as it’s his neck on the chopping block, he’s more than ready to abandon his judicial principles to excuse himself. He’s your classic 80’s bad guy hoping to get a pass because that’s what he’s grown to expect. And at the same time, I’m afraid he’s going to get exactly what he expects. Let’s hope the FBI investigation manages to bring to light exactly what kind of monster he is.
