Warn the neighbors that we're loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific pukers among us. Advise them to go about thirty miles....I think we are unanimous that any girls we can beg to stay there are welcomed with open....Anyway I think we're all set.
Two lines from a letter written by Judge Brett Kavanaugh, under the pseudonym, "FFFFF Bart," to classmates at Georgetown Prep just before they took over a Maryland beach rental property for a week in 1983.
Ah yes, the legal scholar in his formative years is a thing to behold.
In a recent interview classmate and friend, Tom Kane, who was at the gathering in question said the letter contained, "a couple of harmless jokes." He also admits, or perhaps more darkly, denies, he has any memory of what went down during the week long party.
Well, there is a lot of that going around when it comes to Brett Kavanaugh these days. In fact at this point as near as anyone can tell there wasn't a sober student at Georgetown Prep in the early 80's. Although they did manage to put together an underground newspaper called the, "Unknown Hoya." The stapled together publication, among other things, reported, "A public library card is all it takes to have a good time with any H.H."
For those wondering, H.H. stands for Holton Hosebag. It is an overtly crude reference to students attending the nearby all girls, Holton-Arms School. That would be the institution Dr. Christine Blasey Ford attended during the same time frame.
Blasey Ford is the woman who has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when she was fifteen. She is also the same woman Donald Trump cruelly mocked last night in a Mississippi campaign rally because there are a few incidental gaps in her memory of the horrific night.
Kavanaugh denies her charges. Of course he also testified under oath he only sometimes drank to excess during those blurry years, never blacked out, and was unaware of Deborah Ramirez's story of another aggressive, drunken, sexual attack until her accusation broke in the New Yorker. Seemingly within hours solid evidence came to light he was contacting friends in order to make sure everyone got their stories lined up before the New Yorker article was released. There was other stuff--things about the term, Devil's Triangle, and being a Renate Alumnus. Along with all the rest of it, he told Senators he had no idea who the character of Bart O'Kavanaugh might be in Mark Judge's novel.
Blasey Ford alleges Judge was the third person in the room when Kavanaugh attacked her. According to the Doctor, much like that audience in Southhaven, MS last night, the two pals were laughing uproariously at her as she fought back on the bed. It was, she swore, her most indelible memory of the grotesque incident. Moments before, she had told the Senate Judiciary Committee she was 100% sure it was Kavanaugh who had held her down, groped her, and clamped his hand down on her mouth as she struggled beneath him.
Meanwhile, as the re-opened investigation's arbitrary deadline approaches MSNBC, CNN, and others are reporting as many as 40 potential witnesses who might have pertinent information about Kavanaugh's behavior, including Christine Blasey Ford, haven't even been contacted by the FBI.
On the other hand, the agency has interviewed Mark Judge, who, since there isn't a statute of limitations on sexual assault in Maryland, has a compelling reason to fudge his story a tad. Either that, or he might have simply claimed his out of control alcoholism at the time rendered his brain Swiss Cheese and he doesn't remember anything before, say, the turn of the century.
It will probably be about 48 hours before we know if the FBI's latest look into Brett Kavanaugh's past is a sham. Right now things don't look promising.
What we do know, however, is the Supreme Court nominee has lied about a growing number of little things. And if the bastard lies about the little things, we can be assured he is lying about the big ones, including his apparent lack of a public library card.

I suspected the one week investigation was mainly a PR move. I wasn't too thrilled with the timing of the allegations, and in the end I don't think they had much impact on the confirmation vote. Since there was conflicting testimony and no proof, perhaps that was proper. I don't know . . . he said, she said stuff is the absolute worst, because somebody in such cases has got something wrong, purposefully or not, and the wrong reputation can be ruined. In Kavanaugh's case, I hope he has told the truth, because the MeToo women and Democratic party will spare no effort in continued investigation. If he's lying, he can run but cannot hide.
