In 2003, Durbin called Kavanaugh the "Forrest Gump" of Republican politics

From the Miami Herald July 9 2018

"Jeb Bush’s brother, George, then president, nominated Kavanaugh in 2003 for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit — a move that didn’t sit well with Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin.

Durbin, during Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, called him the “Forrest Gump of Republican politics … whether it’s Elian Gonzalez or the Starr Report, you are there.”
