Personally, I’m all up for hearing Brett explain, under oath, how he remembers the specific party in question at which he definitely didn’t do this and a hundred more like it at which he also didn’t do this, yet is 100% sure he wasn’t at the one she describes, which is clearly distinguished from the other hundred in that this didn’t happen at it. Or whatever. Maybe we need the proofreading of Sarah Palin to straighten out the wording.

I really believe in the end, its going to be more like “boys will be boys”. They’re not even trying to be creative in their defense.
But in the end Kavanaugh and his supporters, desperate to rush this nomination through, will probably say his patriotism is being impugned…of course, by those evil Democrats. Y’know…that tired old trope.
Its the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Though I kind of hope it’s “Boys will be boys while jumping on top of other boys.”

No doubt! Dumb woman has no idea who tried to rape her, but he remembers all the parties he didn’t go to in high school. OK, sure. Right.

You know, Senator Hatch, I do believe it would be best all around if Mormons kept their mouths shut about men abusing women.
Your opinion means nothing.

Another problem they have is that about half of Kavanaugh’s defenders seem to be saying some version of “Oh so what, he was only 17”. Which they think is helping, but if what they say is true then they’re saying that he’s a liar, since he denies that it happened at all.
Unusual lack of message coordination on the part of the right wing propaganda machine.

"He told Senator Hatch he was not at a party like the one she describes,
and that Dr. Ford…may be mistaking him for someone else.”
I think Kavanaugh is confused.
She wasn’t drunk. He was.

Plus, if he tried to rape someone at 17, even if stoned, shit faced drunk, or tripping on Peyote Laced with Ground Viagra, he really shouldnt be on the US Supreme Court in this day and age.

Oh I don’t agree with their assessment in the least, don’t misunderstand. It’s just unusual to see them contradicting each other that badly.

“I never attended a party at a house which had a bedroom and a pool, such things didn’t exist in 1980’s Potomac or Bethesda!”

My guess is she was only there to get the coffee </snark>
Kavanaugh’s yearbook shows that he was treasurer of the “100 Club” (or something like that). That group contained students who vowed to drink at least 100 kegs of beer during their high school years. Kavanaugh put this in writing himself in those days - so there were plenty of parties he might or might not remember.

But, but…maybe it was a secret Catholic Boys’ School Club who wanted to bring the politics and mindset of Pat Robertson’s 100 Club into the Catholic mainstream.

You would think, but that would presuppose a world in which they knew how, or even wanted, to learn.
I mean, these are people who think they’re too brilliant to need to learn anything, which, of course, only serves to display and exacerbate the depth - the stunningly mind-blowing abyss - of their ignorance.

“I know I wasn’t at that party. And never at one with my accuser. Because at all the parties where I got drunk, the girls let me rape them.”
Message coordination is usually the first thing to deteriorate when you’re drunk on power.

some other dude did it. right.
And he should be impeached from his current lifetime appointment for the same… as well as lying under oath about receiving stolen information.

You mean like these? They raise so many questions about someone who could be on SCOTUS.
