schultz_connieI’m sitting at the airport, eating oatmeal and downloading photos onto my computer, when the conversation two tables away grows louder. I look over at the two men — both around my age, I guess — and one of them says to me, “You look like someone who believes her.” I ignore the speech unspooling in my head and say only, “I do.” I hear the shuffle of feet behind me. “So do I,” a woman says.

I turn to look at her. She looks to be about my age, too, and is standing with a younger man. He quickly wraps his arm around her shoulder.
The two men at the table shake their heads, stand up and walk away. “I’ve never done something like that in my entire life,” the woman says. The young man hugs her and says, “I love you, Mom.” And now I can barely see my computer screen.

I may be bone-weary today, but I will never give up on my fellow humans"

I found one of those two individuals testifying on Thursday to be deeply and solidly credible, poised, and in control. And honest. It wasn’t him.

I found one of those two individuals testifying Thursday to be deeply erratic, not credible, and in fact, hysterical. And evasive. It wasn’t her.

You know who else believes her? Mrs. Kavenaugh. Look at her face when HE is rambling on about his lily white reputation. The woman is mortified, she knows he is as monster.

Part of me sees someone who is in shell shock, trying to take in what's swirling around her. Another part sees her deep disappointment. Then there's the guilt she sees.

face through his entire testimony, and you are right. She looked skeptical, sad and morose. Poor woman.

Every time I see Connie's name I remember an RW lunatic female attacking her on line for kissing Sherrods Brown.
Loony didn't know they were married.

And one told me that I'm the only guy that believes her or something like that. I don't think that's true.

What a team they make. Think Connie would be a classy first Lady?

Hillary almost chose Sherrod. He would have won Ohio for her.

She's married to my all time favorite senator and I love them both. John Glenn was great too.
