Yale Classmate Accuses Kavanaugh of ‘Blatant Mischaracterization’ of His Drinking
New York Times ^ | 10/01/2018 | Michael D. Shear and Robin Pogrebin

WASHINGTON — A Yale classmate of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s accused him on Sunday of a “blatant mischaracterization” of his drinking while in college, saying that he often saw Judge Kavanaugh “staggering from alcohol consumption.”

The classmate, Chad Ludington, who said he frequently socialized with Judge Kavanaugh as a student, said in a statement that the judge had been untruthful in testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he had denied any possibility that he had ever blacked out from drinking.

Mr. Ludington said that Judge Kavanaugh had played down “the degree and frequency” of his drinking, and that the judge had often become “belligerent and aggressive” while intoxicated.

“It is truth that is at stake, and I believe that the ability to speak the truth, even when it does not reflect well upon oneself, is a paramount quality we seek in our nation’s most powerful judges,” Mr. Ludington said, adding that he planned to “take my information to the F.B.I.”

The trap has been sprung. This is not about “the incident”: It’s about character assassination.

Ford was merely providing the theater under which he could be smeared.

She did a good job, too. Not perfect, by any means, but good enough that one contradicted statement - nothing to do with Ford whatsoever - will.have the desired result.

Let’s see if this guy swears out a statement first.

“Doctor Ford, how many steps was it from the first to the second floor of the house?”

“It was fifteen steps, but the seventh step was a turning landing.”

“Thank you Doctor Ford. One final question, how did you get here from your hotel this morning?”

“I don’t remember.”

There was reference to this at the hearing and Kavanaugh directed them to an individual and some redacted information about the person. I’m guessing there is history between them.

I believe he was referring to his first-year roommate, James Roche.

However, I thought he testified that there were three in that dorm room and at some point things got rather testy. Kavanaugh invited the committee, several times, to read "the unredacted report." I'll bet it would explain a lot.

Chad, how many times did Brett have to carry you in to worship the porcelain throne?

What are the new liberal rules they appear to be imposing on the process?

According to Ms. Pelosi, you have to break the rule to find out if it is a rule.

Beto wants to be a TX Senator and he might get the vote despite trying to leave the scene of an accident he caused because he was drunk. The only reason he didn’t leave was because he was too drunk.

So what? I often was seen lurching with half of the rest of campus back to my dorm room in college. I never committed a crime and neither did anybody else I know. News flash college kids party.

“I wouldn’t know; but I don’t think you graduate cum laude from Yale if you’ve made a habit of being a stumbling drunk. “
Every weekend in college is a “blast” and has been so ever thus.

You don’t usually graduate Cum Laude if you’re a heavy drinker.

Yes, that’s it! I’m guessing this person was in that situation, as well.

Drinking?  What a sin for a college student!  /sarc

And Kavanaugh finished top of his class at Yale!   Wonder where this light-weight, dope-smoking critic of his was in his class ranking. . . Hmm?

In truth, knowing the Irish Kavanaugh is a drinking man gives me great confidence that he is a socially upstanding man -- a regular fella, so to speak.

When I first saw him speak, I was concerned that he was a bit of a bookworm -- or worse, an "intellectual".  But now, his esteem in my eyes is greatly enhanced :- )

I just found a wonderful essay by H. L. Mencken How to Drink like a Gentleman, explaining the virtues of drinking (his Dad owned a brewery):

He was too drunk to walk so he had to drive.

Yep, good thing Winston Churchill never took a drink. I'm pretty sure Hillary never drinks, or anyone on the Left.
