Welp, there’s Fox’s golden soundbite.
No, he’s saying “they’re making it out like you were Bill Cosby in high school.” That is how I heard it, anyway.
“Senator, what do you like to drink?”
Whitehouse missed a golden opportunity to say “A nice Chianti.”

I have tried to watch some of this… Watching Kavanaugh makes me feel physically ill.
I’m just imagining if Whitehouse was grilling me about my high school activities.
“Mr. Cameron, what exactly is a ‘Star Control’? And what does ‘Cyberball at Brian’s’ mean?”
Does it make you want to ralph, like if you drank half a beer?

Ironically, that’s the point where I just couldn’t take it anymore.
Then you missed the point where he claimed “boofed” meant “farted” and “Who won that game anyway?” had nothing to do with alcohol
GOP senses victory. They’ve abandoned Mitchell and are now full throated defending Kavanaugh

I’m not a fan of this line of questioning about his drinking activities in high school. It’s getting away from the point of this investigation, and probably even making him come across as relatable. Just a high school kid doing things teenagers do.
Except for the part where he’s repeatedly lying under oath.
Oh, and “Devil’s Triangle” is a drinking game apparently

Maybe McConnell knows they have 50 Republican votes, and he’s told them so.

None of this is provable enough to get him in trouble.

“I’m here to answer questions about my yearbook, or sports and basketball.”
That’s the only reason we tuned in.

The problem for this hearing for me personally is that I was resigned to his confirmation before. I certainly didn’t want it, but was pretty fatalistic about it. Now I want it even less; he’s horrible. But I’m no more sanguine about his chances than I was before. He’s a horrible, intemperate piece of shit who is going to be a Supreme Court Justice. The night Trump was elected there was an eerie silence in my neighborhood, punctuated by the sounds of someone weeping in the next apartment. Dear god, this weekend is gonna be like that.
