This is the WaPo book review of Ms. Ford’s fairytale about her imagined high school encounter with future Supreme Court Justice Bret Kavanaugh almost 40 years ago.  You can read the WaPo review at the above link and here is the Old Colonel’s take on the whole episode. My BLUF: Ms. Ford is delusional.

Ms. Ford’s diatribe has all the historical accuracy of Oliver Stone’s “JFK” with none of the entertainment appeal.

 The WaPo thoroughly discredited both Ford’s and Ramirez’s stories.

While Politico destroyed everything Ramirez said and the New York Times wouldn’t even publish it.

 If you can handle the truth, suggest reading “The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation” by New York Times reporters Kate Kelly and Robin Pogrebin. These two ultra-Liberal NYT reporters thoroughly discredit every unfounded allegation against Justice Kavanaugh. Here was their bottom line according to the NYT:

 “Pogrebin and Kelly spend significant time digging into Blasey Ford’s accusations and also those of Deborah Ramirez, a woman who says Kavanaugh put his penis in her face at a Yale college party. They track down any witnesses and friends willing to talk, comb through legal documents, do their best to find the house where Blasey Ford says the assault took place. They point out critical witnesses that the F.B.I., in its very limited investigation, did not have time to interview. In the end they turn up no smoking gun, no secret confession, no friend who comes forth to say Kavanaugh was lying all this time.
