call your senators and tell them to vote no for Kavanaugh - the future of our country deserves more than a privileged white boy who’s Spent his whole life over-drinking and can’t answer a simple question without acting more immature about it than a 4 year old.

She could have said “a white guy” who act like he’s 10 or something.


Doesn’t take away from the important message though.

I don't see the need for her to make any adjustments to the comment. He is a privileged white boy.

He had zero respect for senators who were just trying to do their jobs.

In other words he may be 53, but mentally he is 4.

Perhaps all that binge drinking has had an impact on his mental processes.

It's the Old Boys' Club. If you're not in it, don't bother knocking on the door.

But I think she owes an apology to four year olds. They don't deserve the comparison.
