As Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) began to introduce Christine Blasey Ford, committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) interjected to say that he hadn’t forgotten to do so.
Grassley, as Feinstein introduces Blasey Ford: "By the way, I was going to introduce her, but if you want to introduce her, I'll be glad to have you do that. But I want you to know, I didn't forget to do it." pic.twitter.com/JKQTA7eZk7

Of course you didn’t, Grampa, but hush now, we’re trying to talk.
“I didn’t forget. I was being deliberately rude and dismissive, trying to remind everyone that she has no standing in a man’s world.
Now sit down and get me a sandwich.”
Good God – Grassley looks and sounds like a 100-year-old Alzheimer’s patient.
Grassley is one paternalistic old fogey. But that is the entire tone of the Republican side of life.
