discussing supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh s drinking. it is a topic wrapped up in the fbi s background check. probing allegations of sexual misconduct in both high school and college. at a hearing last thursday, kavanaugh was asked about a calendar entry from july 1st, 1982. when he apparently went to classmate tim gaudet s house for beers with patrick, pj smith, and chris, squi, garrett. he lists keg city club, 100 kegs or bust. the beach whaeek ralph club, a reference to throwing up and you may notice devil s triangle. kavanaugh claimed it was a drinking game, but he was very vague about the rules. and when talking about high school drinking he said, quote, the drinking age was 18. so seniors were legal. here s the thing. kavanaugh turned 18 in the final months of his senior year. february 1983. and the in the state of marylan
dispute is going to play out much differently in the future. consider that kavanaugh s 1983 yearbook page from georgetown preparatory school is subject to great scrutiny, notwithstanding that it contains just five photographs, four if you don t count the formal portrait picture, three if you discount one taken of him as an infant. remaining is a beach shot with three buddies, another showing him playing basketball, and the final captures him on the football field. whatever he and his friends might have preserved that didn t make the yearbook photographic cut was probably filmed on a kodak pocket instamatic, as long as somebody sat in the drive through line at photomat. hence, we are left parsing the meaning of entries like 100 kegs or bust. i survived the fffff fourth of july. and beach week ralph club. try explaining that to our kids,
page lists, certain women should be struck regularly like gongs, along with a reference to 100 kegs or bust. that s a reference that kavanaugh s own yearbook page mentions along with the quote, he that lives at peace and with ease must not speak all he knows or judge all he sees. here s brett kavanaugh on fox news monday. when i was in high school, i went to an all boys catholic high school, a jesuit high school where i was focused on academi academics, going to church every sunday and friendship, friendship with my classmates and girls from the local all girls catholic schools. yes, there were parties and the drinking age was 18 and, yes, the seniors were legal and had beer there. yes, people might have had too many beers on occasion and people generally in high school i think all of us have probably done things we look back on in high school and regret or cringe a bit. mark judge and brett
in writing was to be part of a group who drank 100 kegs of beer. a small school. he would have had to drink a keg himself to do his part. and it sounds like brett kavanagh maybe did that. his yale freshman roommate issued a written statement saying brett kavanagh, quote, was a notably heavy drinker even by the standards of the time, and that he became aggressive and belligerent when he was very drunk. i did not observe the specific incident in question, but i do remember brett kavanagh drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk. now, that s freshman year in college, and it doesn t sound like somebody who learned how to drink freshman year at yale. sounds like he showed up there knowing how to drink. the incident brett kavanagh james roach is describing is the accusation brett kavanagh exposed himself to her when he was drinking and when she pushds
yearbook page lists a quote certain women should be struck regularly like gongs with a reference to 100 kegs or bust. that s a reference of his own yearbook page mentions with the quote that he that would live in peace at ease must not speak, all he knows or judge all he sees. interesting. mark judge and brett kavanaugh are the two young men that professor christine blasey ford alleges pushed her into a bedroom during a house party in 1982. ford says kavanaugh s pinned her to a bed and covered her mouth trying to remove her clothes. it s an account that kavanaugh strenuously denies. kavanaugh s also facing an allegation of sexual misconduct leveled by a yale classmate deborah ramirez saying when they were freshman kavanaugh put his genitals in her face during a drunken dorm party. she said she was drunk at the time. kavanaugh also strenuously denies this incident.
