Today's scheduled Senate Hearing on the alleged sexual transgressions brought by Christine Blasey Ford against Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh is sadly becoming a dud. Come on now, we Americans are better than this. Oh, I'm not talking about the pathetic nature of the issue. I mean there is a financial windfall being missed.
The issue (sex) and subsequent hearing event (old men talking about sex) is as hot a topic and as American as Apple pie, the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals or the Soccer's World Cup. This is underscored by the excessive 24-hour cable news coverage, the President's obsession for tweeting and commenting about it and the explosive Facebook comment interaction. The evangelicals have not had as much to be excited about since Trump's announcement to the world about his appetite for female crotch-grabbing. You all recall that. First Lady Melania called it "boys locker room talk." I suppose boys getting young girls drunk and lining up to take turns in non-consensual sex is 'boys just being boys.'
This hearing should be given its dues. The hearing should be treated as a Super Bowl event. The hearing should be held in the 49,000 seat Carrier Dome on the campus at Syracuse University. Just think of the ticket prices. We could have Trumpian crazies seated on one side of the arena and liberal loonies on the opposite side. We would have scantly dressed cheerleaders for senators to ogle when there is a lull in the proceedings.
There should be weeks of hype. T-shirts should be sold with all kinds of clever sayings. Americans could host 'Sexual Harassment Parties.' The event would be televised with clever commercials aired i.e. The Super Bowl so we can once again talk about how cute puppies and Clydesdale's are together.
Once upon a time, Romans threw the Christians to the Lions and this hearing reeks with similarities. If ever our National Anthem should precede an sick event IT IS AT THIS HEARING.
