Her piece hit over 6000 comments—and still her colleagues in the press are too chickenshit to mention my name. The title: “Christine Blasey Ford is no hero, at least not in the legal sense.” Parker is unsparing: “Christine Blasey Ford is promoting her new memoir to acclaim from certain quarters,” she writes, “including a glowing review by the New York Times. Meanwhile, the man she accused of being a witness to her alleged sexual assault by now-Supreme Court Justice Brett M.
