This may have been mentioned before, but Kavanaugh’s partisan rant of an opening statement yesterday is just another example of Republican privilege.

Imagine if Hillary Clinton had gone into her 11 hour marathon Benghazi meeting and started out with a partisan rant about Republicans using their investigations to ‘search and destroy’ etc.

Even if every word she said in that rant was true, she would have been crucified in the mainstream media. Most likely that would also have been a mortal wound to her presidential run in 2016, since she wouldn’t have even survived the primaries.

It’s just amazing the different standards to which Democrats and Republicans are held, especially when amplified by the similarly different standards applied to men and women.
