3. Yes. COWARDS Its all optics

Will the cowards prewrite the questions for Ayotte?

What were you wearing?
How short was your skirt?
Did you at any time take your shoes off?
Were you wearing make-up?
Was, at any time, your bra strap showing?
At any time did you smile while gentle brushing you hair from your face?
Did you at any time engage the boys in laughter or lean in towards them?
Did you touch the boys at any time, arms-hands-etc while engaged in laughter?

Why didn't you just leave the party like a responsible girl?
Why didn't you just say 'no'?

8. And the immortal "Ah yew a woman scoaned?"

to Anita Hill from Alabama Senator Howell Heflin, who nevertheless ultimately voted against confirmation of Clarence Thomas, citing inadequate experience.

Here's an SNL portrayal of the hearing: Heflin's at about 2:30.

Some can confound stereotypes. As when a couple years later Heflin voted with Carol Mosely Braun to deny renewal of a confederate flag patent to The Daughters of the Confederacy: "...we live in a nation that daily is trying to heal the scars that have occurred in the past. We're trying to heal problems that still show negative and ugly aspects in our world that we live in today, and perhaps racism is one of the great scars and one of the most serious illnesses that we suffer from still today." He was Alabama's last Southern-Democrat senator for over 30 years until plain old Democrat Doug Jones.

It adds dimension to the big picture of Southern politics.

2. The republicans will look silly.

I don’t get how they think this is going to improve the “optics” of the hearing.

Nauseating isn't it

Ford should look her straight in the eye the whole time because they both damn well know this shit has happened to each of them at some time in their life.

Ayotte will walk away feeling as dirty as Kavanaugh made Ford feel.
Who is Ayotte kidding by playing the submissive role requested by these dirty old men.

Some sick sh*t

The esteemed former Sen. Ayotte is quite the dimbulb.
