But I hope you feel empowered, sweet cheeks

[Dulcinea]

Well, sure, I am going to vote yes on Kavanaugh, sweetie. Don’t become hysterical. But I just feel so awful it had to happen like this. It’s such a shame, I think.

I just think, dollface, if there is one thing that came out of all this, sugar, that was good, it is, pumpkin, that you got to have your say. Baby, you got to stand up in front of all these people and bear witness to what you felt like you had experienced, like a big girl! It was so important, and I absolutely believed you, sweetheart!

Chickadee, baby doll, your voice was so important. Your movement matters, honey. It matters, darling. It matters, sweet cheeks.

I think the people who should feel bad, though, honey pie (not you, of course, duckling!) are the people who told you that if you said something, it might matter. That was mean of them. What was so cruel was that you, baby girl, had to bear witness thinking that something would happen. I suppose you didn’t know, sugar tits, that nothing was going to happen, doll baby. But I was so inspired by you and what you did! It was so brave, pudding! It was so wonderful, toots!

1. But this is such hard work and we don't know if you women are up for it. (to paraphrase Grassley)

3. I thought this line of thinking went out by the 70's

Sounds so much like my interviews for programming jobs in the 60’s and the 79’s.
“This is really hard work. Are you really up to it.”

4. He and his colleagues still live there.

6. I thought a lot of lines of thinking went out by the 70s...

... back again like a bad penny. As the protest sign says, I can't believe we are still fighting about this shit 50 years later.

2. Oh, how affectionate.

Women all over must be swooning.

"Sugar tits" is a new one on me, though.

5. Mel Gibson inflicted that one on the world.

He's right there among them...
