I don&#8217;t think any actor could have done his deadpan teacher in Ferris Buehler&#8217;s Day Off any better. Sometimes his politics are a bit too country club Republican for my tastes but I can live with that. That said, I found his take on a couple of the Democrats questioning Judge Brett Kavanaugh absolutely spot on.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/spectator.org\/what-mazie-doesnt-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an article for The American Spectator entitled, &#8220;What Mazie Doesn\u2019t Know&#8221;<\/a>, he wrote on Mazie Hirono and Kamala Harris:<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Anyway, Judah Friedman and I drove around in his car, a gleaming Mazda 6, and listened to the torture of Judge Kavanaugh by some asinine nitwit named Mazie Hirono, a Senator from Hawaii. God help us. Book her, Danno. Somehow, she attacked Mr. Kavanaugh so violently she made me want to vomit. My guess is that she\u2019s so INCREDIBLY stupid that she thought he was suddenly going to throw his hands in the air and say, \u201cSenator, you nailed me. I was a concentration camp guard at Belsen. I surrender.\u201d<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>Thirty minutes later, a true nitwit, our California Senator, Kamala Harris, started doing her Tom Cruise imitation trying to make Kavanaugh \u201cconfess\u201d to having said the words \u201cMueller\u201d and \u201cinvestigation\u201d to some unknown someone last year. She obviously thought she was just a spectacular courtroom bully. In fact, she was a pitiful little weasel.<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>And meanwhile, every few minutes some psycho in the audience gets up and starts cursing at Kavanaugh and the GOP. It\u2019s really sad. What a bunch of losers the leftists and their pals in the audience are. They\u2019re not going to get anything on Kavanaugh. There\u2019s nothing to get. He\u2019s a mega genius jurist who will make a superb High Court justice.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Stein is right. Kavanaugh will make a superb Supreme Court Justice and the Democrats on the committee know they can&#8217;t do a damn thing to stop him. I do like his characterization of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/kamala-harris-interview-vogue-april-2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Willie Brown&#8217;s ex-girlfriend<\/a> as &#8220;a pitiful little weasel.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like Ben Stein.
