【eroticism in history】

"This is eroticism in historyridiculous and from the Twilight Zone."

When Brett Kavanaugh pushed back against his third accuser, Julie Swetnick, in a Wednesday statement, the Twilight Zonequote is the one that made the rounds. Now, the daughter of series creator Rod Serling has made it clear that she doesn't approve of the comparison.

In a Friday tweet, Anne Serling -- an author herself -- pointed out that her father wouldn't have appreciated the present day face of the GOP, which has descended into mudslinging and a partisan gaming of the system. She added that if the Kavanaugh matter had been written as a Twilight Zoneepisode, it would have played out much differently.

"My father believed in decency, integrity, and justice," Serling wrote. "Had he written this, I assure you--there would indeed be a further FBI investigation along with some cosmic justice."

The cosmic justice she spoke of may still come, now that the FBI has reopened its background check on Kavanaugh. (Serling's tweet posted just a few hours before that happened.)
