Democrat Senators have been reduced to calling fictional characters to testify against Judge Brett Kavanagh’s appointment to the Supreme Court. Already heard as witnesses against Kavanagh have been Captain Ahab, Betty and Veronica, and Tristram Shandy. But the star so far has been Constable Chumley of Scurveyshire, from Violet Crepuscular’s epic romance, Oy, Rodney.
Asked by Senator Corey “Spartacus” Booker (D-Parallel Universe) whether Judge Kavanagh had ever harassed or molested any country maids in Scurveyshire during the reign of Queen Victoria, Constable Chumley answered vigorously–well, at least as vigorously as any fictional character can manage.
“Ooh, yeye, thar’ wee no thrickin’ bawn a-tall!” The Constable nods for emphasis. “I delly, footh, ’twas mair yon Kavanagh thoo’ briggle!” He went on in this vein for 90 minutes, no one daring to interrupt him.
The next witness, Ms. Violet Crepuscular herself, testified, “My feelings are the same as Constable Chumley’s.”
TOMORROW: Democrat Senators to call on characters from books and stories that haven’t been written yet.
Oh well, they do live in fantasy, now don’t they? 🙂
For a while, they pretended to be realistic, but that has been thrown away
to be replaced by something “more -what shall we say?” more entertaining? Well, maybe to some people.
