KAVANAUGH during hearings when DEMS took the mic: He looked like a deer trying to cross a highway

In case you didn't read Charlie Pierce's entire piece RE: Kavanaugh in the hearings when DEMs took the mic..I love his phrasing..

" And when the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee surprisingly came to play—Mazie Hirono deserves the thanks of a grateful nation—he looked like a deer trying to cross a highway. "

He did look clueless, didn't he? My pal said he has a face you want to punch....Now, even more so...

And I go way back -- in a deep red state -- where fraternities at state universities were 99% white wingers. Many of the frat houses had big confederate flags hanging outside and a bunch of trump/Kavanaugh types drinking beer or bourbon out front. Not my thing or type of people.

I will never have good feelings about frat boys, never. You never forget that kind of thing.

Talk about people who thought they were entitled and privileged. I’m glad the fraternity junk was a real turnoff for me just about the moment I stepped on campus.

And if you watch Don McGahn's face, behind him. So does McGahn.

They are terrified of something in his past.
