Kavanaugh has so many "tells" that I feel like I'm listening to the effing William Tell Overture. [View all]

This boy should have had a few more practice sessions.

He stutters, his eyes do the ping-pong thing, he squirms like a perp being questioned by Sipowicz on NYPD Blue.

It's been a fascinating game of back-and-forth...the Republicans praise him and encourage him to discuss the warm and fuzzy details of his life, the Democrats say "HEY Buddy...we know WHO you are and WHAT you are."

He handles adoration MUCH better than he handles scrutiny.
