1. Did they find her in a binder full of women?

Sounds about right to me.

[Roland99]

31. Ha! And they didn't already have at least one?!

[madaboutharry]

2. What a jackass.

[Demit]

3. That was deliberate. They are telegraphing a new era of putting women in their place.

[volstork]

9. Keep trying turtle.

We are NOT going back to the dark ages.

[Anon-C]

28. ...

[Leghorn21]

4. I hear she makes a great pot of coffee, too, FUCKHEAD eom

[blaze]

5. You mean you hired someone smarter than you? nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. So I guess it's not Gloria Allred.

[unblock]

7. "our patriarchal and misogynistic questioning isn't sexist if we pay a female to ask them!"

[eleny]

8. That female is doomed to fail

Abandon ship!

[NightWatcher]

10. Attn: The term "gutless punk ass chickenshit coward " will now be replaced with the term "mitch"

Too much of a mitch to do the dirty work, rebukes have hired a ringer.

11. Is it that Victoria Tunsing from Fox?

[WePurrsevere]

12. An "ASSISTANT"? How incredibly dismissive & condescending. This makes it

Even more obvious that these GOP sexist swamp things have ZERO intention of taking her seriously and are just making the motions.

God/dess but I truly hope the people of this country wake the hell up and boot your sexist traitorous Putin owned butts out of office.

13. So they hired a woman to ask Ford their disgusting questions. Yeah OK we got PROSECUTORS. FOOLS.

[Orsino]

14. She's a great little coffee maker, too! n/t

[Cha]

15. I read Dr Ford said she would only take questions from

the Senators. Don't they have any female repugnant Senators?

Or has that changed?

[mythology]

21. Not on the Senate Judiciary Committee they don't

Because no women might have an opinion about a court nominee that might differ from all those old white guys (I say this as an approaching 40 white guy).

[Cha]

34. Yeah, I figured that later.. 40 is young!

Too bad.. Dr Ford said she would only take questions from the Senators. We'll see how it plays out.

[WeekiWater]

16. They know the House is lost.

They have little concern for optics because of it. All they see is the opportunity to get a 53 year old conservative justice installed.

[Autumn]

17. Worthless bastards hiding behind a woman's skirt. Too chickenshit to do their

own dirty work.

[riversedge]

18. So the @GOP Senators on Committee can not even do their job of questioning the witness! Shame.

[rurallib]

19. WHAT A BUNCH OF GUTLESS FUCKING COWARDS!

I think it was Thom Hartmann today who said she should refuse to answer any question not asked by a committee member and not a surrogate.

[DesertRat]

20. He doesn't want to say prosecutor

Assistant sounds more innocuous. It's also sexist as hell.

[Totally Tunsie]

22. What f*n year is this?

Were the 50's and 60's so great that we have to revisit them?

Damn repugs are in a time warp.

[Stallion]

33. I Believe the Term in the 50s-60s was "Gal-Friday"

so they've jumped ahead about 2 decades

[hvn_nbr_2]

23. Because none of the WORMs on the committee could ask a question without showing their misogyny.

WORM = White Old Republican Misogynist. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211179920

[Tipperary]

24. Ugh.

No words.

[Donkees]

25. ...

[betsuni]

26. But both sides are the same.

I just read that somewhere and then see this and

[avebury]

27. I hope that Dr. Ford's lawyers will be sitting with her

so that they can kick butt as necessary.

[miss-nasty]

29. And I'm sure he

Wants his effin kitchen cleaned too! Asshole!!!

[Trust Buster]

30. Are the going with the "right kind of look" that Kavanaugh requires ?

[TomSlick]

32. Her name is Lydia.

The other females call her Aunt Lydia.
