I've been in the political world for almost a decade. There are very few pundits (if any, these days) with any sort of balls. They're all like reeds in the wind, swaying whichever way the cable news appearances prefer, feigning moral uprightness instead of standing on principle. Too many people are too afraid of being marked as part of the fringe, too scared to have any conviction or principle, because it might kill their chances of media hits because *that's* what they care about -- their own celebrity.

A bit irked by those using Ford as an anecdote for the whole “this is why women don’t speak up when they’ve been harassed,” thing. Given how this whole ordeal has played out thus far, it’s dishonest to suggest the Ford/Kavanaugh hubbub is a microcosm for how instances of sexual assault and harassment are handled.
