Rapey Brett isn't aware how guilty he looks when he blabbers on.

(27,813 posts)Also repeating the same self-serving talking points - e.g. "I was at the top of my class!" - over and over when such points are completely irrelevant to the question posed.
I was a court reporter for over thirty years - it's an easily recognizable tactic when someone is lying.

(621 posts)They are blind. I think it was Rosie ODonnell who was talking about another issue years ago and whether she thought an investigation should be opened. She said something like: I didnt do it. Search my house. Search my car. Talk to everyone. But the last two sentences were definitely, Take a Pap smear. Didnt do it! (To be clear, she was talking about someone else, not herself.) Dr. Ford has done everything short of the pap, and he cant give a straight yes or no.

(33,039 posts)The repugs simply made speeches so Brett didn't have to talk (nobody wants to hear him).
When Dems asked questions, Brett filibustered without answering.
Scripted farce.

Brett's talking back to the senators and refusing to answer simple yes and no questions convinced me he is very sorry for his school years.....not for hurting anyone, but for fucking up his chances for the SC.
