Latest Kavanaugh Accuser Was Hillary's Lawyer in Clinton Impeachment
h/t Instapundit
[PJMedia] On Saturday, The New York Times ran a story repeating allegations that Brett Kavanaugh was drunk at a party in college and had his genitals thrust into a woman's face. The allegation has not been confirmed, and friends of the alleged victim say she has no recollection of the events. The man telling the story, Max Stier, represented Bill and Hillary Clinton in the 1990s when Bill Clinton was accused of exposing himself to a woman in a hotel room.

#2 There are certain members of the national media for which I'd have no problem thrusting my genitals in their face. Okay, maybe a lot of them, and just the chicks...

#11 So far it is all accusation with no substantiation. It's all about the threat Kavanaugh poses to the left in imparting the rule of law to SCOTUS.

#14 How come gays get equal rights under the 14th but public figures do not, as in different standards of libel between public and private persons? /rhet question.

If all other 'capitalists' are to be held accountable for the failure of their product or service why should the media as part of a conglomerate infotainment industry be exempt from shoddy merchandise?

#15 The big joke - well, one of many big absurdities of this whole shitshow - is that Kavanaugh isn't even a hard-right conservative. In his last post, he shared the bench with none other than Merrick Garland, and Kavanaugh voted the same way as his fellow Judge Garland ninety-seven percent of the time.

97% parity with Obama's pick. And he's supposed to be Satan Mussolini.

What a repulsive circus this is.

An obscene, outlandish, rolling shitshow designed to distract us all from the fact of our elites' obvious mental deformities.

#16 From PJ Media today:

New York Times Now Admits New Kavanaugh Accusation Is Fake News

The New York Times added this correction late last night:

Editors’ Note: Sept. 15, 2019
An earlier version of this article, which was adapted from a forthcoming book, did not include one element of the book's account regarding an assertion by a Yale classmate that friends of Brett Kavanaugh pushed his penis into the hand of a female student at a drunken dorm party. The book reports that the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say that she does not recall the incident. That information has been added to the article.

The NYT is worse than a joke. It's a national disgrace.

This must be a glorious time to be a defamation lawyer.

#18 The New York Times does redeem itself inasmuch as its book reviewer yesterday panned the book, concluding that the book’s impact was counterproductive. It made Justice Kavanaugh look admirable and quite normal instead of disgusting. according to PJ Media.

That's like Tom Hagen chastising Sonny Corleone for being a brute.

#21 I mean, Tom Hagen = NYT and Sonny Corleone = Pogrebin & Kelly. Hagen the operator is more subtle thus more effective but no less wicked than Sonny the thug.

#26 a way to graph how this sort of thing shifts the votes.

Rasmussen has graphs that one need only match to events. Queerly enough, President Trump’s equally polarizing predecessor graphed about the same at this stage of his presidency.

Monday, September 16, 2019

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 35% who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing and 41% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -6. (see trends).

Ever notice how the conservative commentariat always wants to go to the mattresses for squishes like Kavanaugh or Kevin Williamson, etc. while throwing the Covington kids under the bus?

It's a big club and you ain't in it.

Also, what does it say about Justice Kavanuagh's judgement that he still has a bunch of female law clerks in direct violation of the Pence Rule?

Does anyone smarter than a flatworm doubt that sooner or later one of these women will #MeToo him for the book deals and the dinner party invitations?

It only has to happen once.

#29 I think people start to smell the garbage without teh retraction after awhile. It starts to repel and they lose the benefit of the doubt on the next one.
