About that "I've known Brett Kavanaugh for 35 years" commercial.

The commercial I am talking about has been playing on MSNBC for weeks. An attractive middle aged woman, a friend of Brett Kavanaugh, is talking to an off camera person about how she has known Brett Kavanaugh for 35 years and goes on to say how he is fair minded, intelligent, and in possession of terrific amounts of integrity.

Whoever is behind this commercial should pull it immediately. It is now tone deaf in the creepiest of ways.

You can pay actors to say almost anything.

This is not about what brand of toilet cleaner, ketchup, or shampoo to pick, where you are not affected for 40 years if you pick the wrong product.

I think I posted at the time that I had not seen ads for SCOTUS that I could remember...was it common?

which is exactly why she would have no clue about this two-faced snake so deeply embedded in party politics that he can be counted on to lie about his politics. Like the rest of the Republicans, whose constituency is happy to believe the lies--as long as there are liberal tears flowing.
