Is there a Kavanaugh doppleganger?
The Oregonian ^ | September 19, 2018 | Kathleen Parker, The Washington Post

In one of Brett Kavanaugh's responses to allegations that he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl when he was in high school, a charge he has denied "categorically and unequivocally," he suggested that, perhaps, this was a case of mistaken identity.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a member of the Judiciary Committee reiterated this notion, saying that perhaps the accuser was "mixed up." And, on Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal's editorial board also floated the possibility of mistaken identity.

As crazy as that sounds, it wouldn't be unheard of. And, given the high regard in which Kavanaugh has been held throughout his life, including during high school, it would make the most sense. Could there be a Kavanaugh doppelganger?

His accuser, California psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford, alleges that, while partying in a house with other teens, she was pushed into a bedroom and found herself alone with a drunk Kavanaugh, then 17, and another boy, Mark Judge. While Judge allegedly watched and laughed, Ford says Kavanaugh pinned her down on the bed and tried to remove her clothes.

When Judge allegedly jumped on top of both of them, she was able to escape and hid in a bathroom until the two boys left. Despite the trauma she experienced, including a fear that her attacker might inadvertently kill her, she did not mention the episode to anyone until 2012 during couple's therapy with her husband.

I am listening to Howie Carr, right now.

The word is that there may actually be a "Kavanaugh doppelganger" - somebody in the same class on the same team who had the same friends as Kavanaugh.

Side by side pictures coming. More to come.

But for the love of God, people, don't repeat this as a fact. It's still just somebody's opinion.

Interesting article at Daily Kos, if you want to go there. Guy molested by priest at Georgetown prep says Mark Judge minimized or excused the abuse. He also says “The story that this woman is telling is one that I know was repeated dozens of times in my 4 years at Prep.”

But it turns out that he went to the school twenty years after Kavanaugh and Judge. He says he was tweeting about stories like the one Christine Blasey Ford told, not her story. So for hours, some people thought he was confirming her story and it turns out that he doesn't know anything about it.
