    Nate Silver Retweeted Nick Confessore

    Yeah, I don't get why this isn't more of a part of the conversation. Also, these lies were almost daringly cynical—hard to categorically disprove (*prove* to me that Kavanaugh & buddies didn't have their own non-canonical definition of "boofing") but just not at all plausible.https://twitter.com/nickconfessore/status/1045668458950791168 …

    Keep going back this morning to Kavanaugh lying to the committee about “Ralphing” and other yearbook items. With a straight face. Spicy food? Come on.

        They aren't white lies, either. Kavanaugh was lying about stuff that would establish (i) his propensity to drink to excess, especially to the point of blacking out or misremebering events and (ii) objectifying attitudes he had toward women he had has a young man.

        Don't know what would have happened if he'd been more honest on these matters. Arguably, the fact that he could easily have been blackout drunk potentially tips the balance of the evidence in a "he said, she said" with Ford. But instead he made a calculation to lie—and it worked!

        It only needs to be plausible enough to sell it on Fox News, apparently.

        Absurd diversion, just trolling. People who have a fear of flying fly all the time. No evidence of a lie there.
