I can’t believe he went with I was a Virgin and never drank during HS. Especially since as soon as he said it people from Yale came out and said no, no, no. Not to mention MSM was all over his Year Book with the 100 Keg Group

Where in dog’s name were the parents?!! How often did this sort of thing happen at your high school and did your parents just not take an interest? My kids thought I was mean when I put the kibosh on renting a hotel room for an after-party after prom. My 17 year old thought it was a great idea, but as the parent I said ain’t-no-way. In my high school I think a party or two of this type happened a couple of times a year and that was in a very privileged town. I dunno, I wasn’t into it.
And then there was “Beach Week” where these same kids rented a house at the beach for a week long drunken fun-for-all. All those parents should have been turned over to CPS!!

Slightly OT: The legal drinking age in Maryland at the time wasn’t 18 when Kavanaugh was. He lied about that in the Fux News interview, but I’ll give Barfin’ Bart the benefit of doubt. He wouldn’t remember and it didn’t matter anyway.

I’d say there’s no doubt that Julie Swetnick will testify.
To whom? The Rs on the Senate Judiciary Committee have shown no interest in Swetnick or Ramirez and they’re the old men guarding the gate.

I grew up in Kavanaugh’s old zip code and graduated from high school in 1989. My friends and I rented a house in Rehoboth Beach, DE for Beach Week after graduation. In my experience, Beach Week was largely, though not exclusively, a graduating senior kind of thing. We were all 18 by that point, so parental supervision/permission was a non-issue (or at least, less of an issue). I actually remember it as good, clean (if slightly stupid) fun, but then, my friends and I weren’t assholes like Kavanaugh.

I think this has the potential to move beyond them at this point. They ignore the accumulating testimony at their peril.

I will tell you, I grew up in a cultural context where there were Chaperones during my entire HS era. You went to a HS dance, and the young lady’s Mom was coming along in the car with you, and sitting at the table with you. You went to a house party that was announced in advance (usually class fund raisers) and there were your date’s Mom and a bunch of other Moms and Dads in the Living Room while the dancing took place out on the suburban home terrace or apartment bldg’s recreation roof deck. We didnt have Beach Week, but Easter Break was the same idea, people went to Condos at various beaches, some less remote than others, and maybe you got lucky and there wasn’t a parent in every group’s apartment. And even in this cultural context, the real hip, cool, in crowd people (to which I did not pertain, being a Geek before that term was known to me) managed to stage house parties when someone’s parents were out of town. And I would say it happened rather frequently. Mostly Junior and Senior years.

Avanetti knows his shit and he knows he knows it. I’m glad he is out there. Looks like the Repugs are out maneuvered and Avanetti deserves a lot of credit. His timing is perfect for blowing up the proceedings.

Boy I agree with that - they are such fools if they try to ignore these other women.

I covered this on another thread yesterday. DC was just a short (like 5 - 20 minute) drive away, depending on what part of Bethesda you’re in, and they had an 18-year cutoff for beer and wine until September 1986. I assume that’s what Kavanaugh was alluding to. (And to be clear, I’m just pointing this out to keep the relevant facts straight, not to defend Kavanaugh, who can go jump in the Potomac River for all I care.)
(Also, love the avatar. Really sad about Terry Jones’ condition.)

Yeah but the way he claimed he was a legal drinker in Senior Year when he had a few beers, he didnt say we drove across State line.
And you know he is holding back information to counterpunch the lying shit Team Kav and Team Orrin-Lindsey-Prune Face will come up with.

Thanks. Yes, I am a lifelong fan, and it saddens me as well.
Also, thanks for the correction. We live in a fact based world even if the wingnuts don’t!
Gotcha. I didn’t watch the Fox interview (had no stomach for it), so I didn’t know what his exact words were. He probably figured that if the beer was purchased legally in DC, he’d latch onto that and hand-wave his way through any other issues.
