I Might Believe Orrin Hatch's "Wad" Explanation EXCEPT for History:
Let us not forget that this is a man who accused a respected African-American law professor of lying about one of his friends during Senate questioning by referring to pubic hair floating in a glass of gin.
Yes, my friends. Let us walk down memory lane and remember the salacious and ungentlemanly conduct of Orrin Hatch towards Professor Anita Hill when she had the temerity to accuse Clarence Thomas of sexual harrassment. Hatch had absolutely no problem speaking fluently about Long Dong Silver and pubic hair from his committee seat. (You've been warned. Do not google Long Dong Silver at work.) Remember his defense of Clarence Thomas? Hatch accused Professor Hill of making everything up, alleging she cobbled together her story from another sexual harassment case and from a passage from The Exorcist about a pubic hair in a glass of gin.

Does ANYONE actually believe this smarmy piece of Senatorial male privilege does not know the sexual connotation of "wad?" Orrin Hatch is no shrinking violet.
You know, someone smarter than me ought to do a mashup of how these white male Senators treated Professor Hill. Then run it side-by-side with how they've treated Kamala Harris. History, folks.
