We like beer, too, but it's better if you're conscious

This is how riveting Thursday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to consider the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford, who claims Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were both teenagers, and Kavanaugh’s response was: President Trump postponed his meeting with Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who’s future with the administration is tenuous at best.

When was the last time Trump put off a chance to bellow, “Your’re fired!”

Other surprises in the week that wasn’t:

Keeping it 100: During their testimony Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Kavanaugh and Ford each said they were “100 percent certain” in their recollections; Ford in her testimony that Kavanaugh assaulted her; Kavanaugh in his that the accusations were not true.

Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Traffic Court, after consulting his judiciary rule book, determined that the tie goes to the runner and voted to move ahead with Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

Honey, where are the good sheets? During his opening testimony, Kavanaugh attempted to put the reports of drinking during his high school and college years into context, testifying, “I drank beer with my friends. … Sometimes I had too many beers. … I liked beer. I still like beer. But I did not drink beer to the point of blacking out.”

Kavanaugh’s testimony might have been more convincing, however, if he had taken off the toga and laurel wreath he was wearing.
