WAIT, WHAT? Committee Majority has yet to see original, unredacted letter from Dr. Blasey Ford to Sen. Feinstein.

Grassley is pretty savage here. Excerpt:

SOHRAB AMARI: The drive to sink Kavanaugh is liberal totalitarianism.

Thought: Mitt Romney might have nominated Kavanaugh, but he’d have caved last weekend, wouldn’t he?

KANGAROOS AND THEIR COURT: Jim Treacher: Exactly Where and When Did Brett Kavanaugh Allegedly Attempt to Rape Christine Blasey Ford?

THEY’RE NEVER THIS CURIOUS ABOUT DEMOCRATS — SEE, E.G., KEITH ELLISON. Media, ABC, PBS use Facebook to beg other Kavanaugh accusers to talk, ‘Truth will emerge.’ But remember when the NYT crowdsourced people to go through Sarah Palin’s hacked emails? Think of them as Democratic Party operatives with bylines and you won’t go far wrong.

UPDATE: Ellison accuser releases 2017 medical document saying she feared ‘retribution.’

News media: Who?

FROM JIM TREACHER, AN ACCURATE SUMMARY OF WHERE THINGS STAND.

STEPHEN KRUISER: Chevy Chase Goes Off on Lorne Michaels and Current Cast of ‘Saturday Night Live.’

“WE CAN’T REALLY GET FIRED:” Sting video of left-wing DOJ staffer bragging about misuse of govt. resources sparks investigation. “Allison Hrabar, a Justice Department paralegal, said in the undercover video that she found the address of a DC lobbyist by running his license plate at work, which she then used to organize a DSA protest outside his home. She admitted that she was not permitted to do so ‘officially.’ Other DSA members said that she used the department’s Lexis Nexis account to ferret out the addresses of protest targets.”

AS SOMEBODY SAID ON TWITTER, CHUCK GRASSLEY IS ALL OUT OF BUBBLE GUM: Grassley to Judiciary Dems: “This is but the latest and most serious of your side’s abuse of this confirmation process. There has been delay and obstruction of this process at every turn and with every argument available.”

WELL, BUREAUCRATS HAVE RUINED THE MEDICAL PROFESSION: Many young doctors report burnout, regret career choice. “Female residents were at greater risk for signs of burnout than males. And Hispanic residents were also more likely to regret their specialty choice. The researchers said these doctors are often pressured to participate in institutional diversity initiatives that could make their schedules more demanding than those of nonminority residents.”

ANN ALTHOUSE: Do liberal media notice the elitism oozing from their discussion of the credibility of Christine Blasey Ford?

I’m overhearing the television, so I’m not going to link to anything, but I keep hearing the indicia of elite status — notably, that Blasey is a college professor.

I’m trying to think of how her allegations should be handled, and I want like cases to be treated alike. When will one allegation from long ago justify delaying the Senate confirmation process and the opening of new investigations?

The answer cannot be: when the accuser has elite status!

I’m thinking of how Paula Jones was denigrated 20 years ago. “If you drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you’ll find,” James Carville said famously.

Actually, the answer is “when the accuser has elite status.” Paula Jones was a Deplorable — or what Joe Biden is now calling “dregs of society” — while Ford is a professor, and thus a member of the same elite tribe as journalists. Because what we have now in America, or at least in its media universe, is tribalism, rather than justice.

RUBIO DOXXES MIAMI CELEBRITY CHEF FOR SERVING VENEZUELAN DICTATOR MADURO:

Then he tweeted the phone number of [Nusret] Gokce’s restaurant in Miami, for which he was criticized for potentially opening up constituents who work at the restaurant to harassment. Tuesday, he defended himself against that charge and got in a dig at Gokce’s restaurant for its poor reviews.

“All I gave is the phone number; they should call the restaurant and complain about what the owner of the restaurant did. I haven’t asked them to do anything but that,” Rubio said. “This is an expensive restaurant, probably overpriced according to some of the reviews I’ve read.”

Gokce has also honored the deceased Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, which riled Florida’s Cuban-American population.

Rubio also tweeted the address of Gokce’s restaurant, in addition to its phone number. Feting a dictator while the population of the nation under his tyranny is literally starving is pretty awful, but in 2018’s crazed political environment, doxxing its owner is not a good look from Rubio.
