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.”

It’s irresponsible and stupid for Luddington to say this. It is even more irresponsible and stupid for the NYT to publish.

Neither should be taken seriously.

So, the democrat party is now a temperance movement with character assassination of wets that goes all the way back to high school while Pat Leahy still regularly shows up drunk to the senate floor?

NO.....If he had a problem, it would have come out during the last 6 investigations.

And if you think that the FBI DIDN'T go back to his school years and check on stuff like this, you're kidding yourself.

That's why it will only take a week.

Ought to ban Smoking, Drinking and ‘sexual romps’ in the Hallowed Halls and adjoining offices.

You know, treat pols the way they tend to treat ‘us’ - for their own good.

Oh yes, if they want a chauffer driven car, call UBER for a discount rate, pay for your own lunch - AT the going rate local Restaurants are ‘forced’ to charge in order to pay all the minimum wage, luxury taxes etc etc..

Little of the old Good for the Goose, Good for the Gander..

Democrat playbook. Time after time after time. Most recent was the Surgeon General, right? There have been so many false accusations by the Democrats I can’t keep track of them all

This was always a trap topic...

Q: Have you ever had enough drinks to not remember everything?

...seriously? How would you know? This is a redundant and nonsensical question. Of course, the expected answer of “maybe” would then be used to imply he tried to rape somebody but doesn’t remember it.

Yeah, trying to RAPE somebody is something you just forget about /s

Liberals claim he should be charged with perjury.

Someone should tell these Lib aholes that it isn't what you know...it's what you can prove. Allegations upon allegations and more allegations. All just air without the proof.

I say Blasey Ford is a slut. I only recall 2 gals in our HS 10th, 11th, and 12th grades in 1965 who put out.

I found this site with a photo of her.

“More curiously, what kind of beer does he drink?”

Me too. I’ve been imagining a new brand:
Kavanaugh Brewing Company. First line: “Justice Kav Porter”

How many drunks does anyone here know who were consistently at the top of their class and at the top of society’s most important list of successful people for years and years. How many did consistent volunteer work several times a week, both with children, young people and homeless people, while serving in top level Judgeship’s? And, how many attend church every week? How many could inspire 200 people to come out in public, on their own, to vouce for his good name and relationships with others? I am telling you folk, envy is an ugly Satanic monster, and I personally know that gifted, hard working people, get way more than their share of it, no matter what their station is in life. Their persecutors are persons who want to be them, but do not have what it takes. This vote needs to be taken NOW. If Kavanaugh is not confirmed because of all of this vitriol, scorn and ridicule of him, this nation will bear terrible consequences.
