I think it was Leahy, right after Kavanaugh launched into a monologue about what a good guy he was

Yep. Running out their time. Huge contrast to his fast, minimalist answers to Mitchell.

instead of answering Leahys question.

(51,590 posts)6. Leahy said it after Kavanaugh wouldn't answer his question
and instead went on and on, even yelling at the senator, about how he is God's gift to humankind.

He did the same thing to Feinstein.
I liked when Leahy said he had been "doing this for 44 years".

(51,590 posts)3. That was perfect.
Kavanaugh wants to go on and on about what a model student, athlete, choir boy, etc he was but never answers questions. It is like he is selling a used car. The fucking moron must be so proud.
