You are a monster, and I’ve always known it ever since that weekend which we won’t speak of again.
Great post, and I hope they follow your advice.
Ohhh, I forgot, it was so long, long ago, and so far away. But I apologize to you, too. (Just don’t tell my wife. The tickling thing was hard enough to confess to her.)
She’s admitted she had a drinking problem at the time.
She went to a different high school, as Georgetown Prep was (still may be) an all-boy’s school.
We know Kavanaugh’s mother ruled against her family in a bankruptcy case 14 years after “the event”.
We also know that she’s a Democratic supporter and anti-Trump activist. It’s easy to imagine that someone from the party contacted her. Which makes this a set-up.
But, but, but, we must believe all wimmin folk.
Operation SUPPRESS REPUBLICAN VOTE has commenced.
They ain’t suppressing my vote. Yay, Marsha Blackburn!
I found it odd she went to a party that small and didn’t really know any of the 4 very well. I wonder how that happens? She could name 2, but not the other 2. Would it have been difficult to discover who BKs room mate was? I don’t remember seeing where Mark Judge was named in 2012, but I haven’t read or heard everything. It doesn’t sound like all gears are engaging in this story. So it is like the south park underpants gnome profit plan with bullet point 1 missing. 1.? 2. at party 3. attempted rape and murder.
I can’t recall being at any party where I wasn’t a friend of at least one person. It is hard to get over the first part of the story. It is plausible not to know an exact date of mundane parties, but it doesn’t seem plausible to know why you went. And then I won a million dollars.
That’s the same thought process I had when I learned she didn’t mention it to anyone until telling her therapist about it some 30 years later. Glad you brought it up.
I believe they’re all women, even the ones that don’t believe that themselves. Beyond that I judge the veracity for my self. I’m a stubborn old Coot.
I can’t take credit. That part was my better half’s contribution.
By the way, congratulations on your title. Now I have this song stuck in my head:
I believe the other attendees at the party included Haven Monahan with his date, Jackie, (both visiting from UVA) and the Duke Lacrosse Team.
It is strange how everyone bends over backwards to “believe” this woman’s story when we have never actually seen this woman, much less heard her speak. All we have to base our judgement is her letter to Rep Eshoo and Sen Feinstein, an article in the Washington Post, and the public statements of her attorney.
The story is more than suspiciously timed, so old as to make it essentially uninvestigatable, and unusually vague for such a traumatic event.
It is more than possible her story is completely fabricated in order for the Left to either derail the Kavanaugh nomination or at the very least simply cause the political/cultural vandalism their hard core base loves so much.
Just for the record all Kavanaugh’s mother did was release the lien against the home of Fords parents. That would be a good thing for the parents. They did not lose the house.
To understand the victim hood of the left and how far it has penetrated our Culture even here on Ricochet one of our members called this a rape. When questioned it became an attempted rape. Even the victim never claimed that. If and a big if, it was a assault with apparently no physical results. If this happened I appreciate the mental aspect this could cause. Even at 73 I remember every sexual encounter I have ever had and they were all consensual. I was twice the (victim) of statutory “Rape”. I know it’s different being male but this had no affect on my life.
OP:
This is among the bafflements I also have.
Teenaged girls almost always travel in packs (prides? flocks? OK, groups). Or at least they did in those days, before on-line social media. It’s highly unlikely a teenaged girl would go to a party alone in 1982 unless she was the “girlfriend” of one of the male attendees and/or already knew the boys well. There’d be at least one other 15 or 16 year old girl there also. Even if she did go alone, and an event such as she claims happened, wouldn’t she have told her girlfriends about it in the next few days? Where is the corroboration from those girlfriends?
I did know a very few 15 and 16 year old girls from a decade earlier (the 1970’s) who went to parties alone, but they all went with the knowledge that they were there to be a sex object (those were parties to which I was never invited).
Arahant, I just knew you were a Monkees fan. You were probably even fixated on the tall one. Square!
You mean the guy whose mother invented Liquid Paper?
See there, Adamant. You know far too much about the Monkees. You’re a fanboy.
I thought it was only done on Lifetime shows
Done by macho jerkwads not like me
Hairy guys in dago tees, that’s the way it seemed
‘Till I saw her kicking her bare feet
No there’s not a trace of guilt in my mind
I had fun — now I’m an abuser
I’d tickle her again at any time
“I’m Kavanaugh,” is that what you’re saying?
A Circus Boy fanboy. And a hard man.
No, the guy who sings One Ton Tomato.
Dang! You always get my references!
The title was just a throwaway; it should have been “Then she joined the case. . .”
The only actual musician in the group.
