I LOVE IT – AT 10:46 A.M. ET:  One of the most quotable members of the US Senate is John Kennedy, Republican of Louisiana.  We haven't quoted him before, but he's just issued a gem on the Kavanaugh spectacle.  From RealClearPolitics: 

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said anybody who thinks the FBI probe into Brett Kavanaugh is about searching for the truth is kidding themselves. In an interview with FNC's Martha MacCallum, Kennedy said the Washington "cosmopolitan culture crowd" think the American people are too stupid to figure this out.

"I'm going to stand by what I said two weeks ago. This is a freak show. An intergalactic freakshow. It's a grotesque carnival. And it's only going to get worse. And I am embarrassed for the United States Senate. We have hit bottom and started to dig," Kennedy said.

"I don't know. I really don't know," Kennedy said about Republicans having the votes to confirm Kavanaugh.

Kennedy also responded to people saying Kavanaugh doesn't have the "demeanor" to be a Supreme Court Justice.

"It's never going to be enough," he said about Democrats. "And when we're finished with the FBI investigation the Democrats will argue... he doesn't have the demeanor. Well, they called him a rich, drunk, lying sexual predator and the man took offense to that. And they say as a result he doesn't have the demeanor to be on the Supreme Court? They must really think the American people are stupid."

COMMENT:  Very well said.  I'm hoping Kennedy is right, and that the American people understand what's happening.  Sometimes it takes them some time to pay attention and catch up.  Democracies are like ocean liners.  They turn slowly, but, when they do turn, they turn decisively.  I hope the election in a month shows that we're turning in the correct direction.
