      This is why we need more female judges. Because men are simply too emotional to make good jurists.

      "I ask you to judge me by the standard you would want applied to your father, brother, son." A "boys will be boys" defense. One he didn't extend to Bill Clinton.

      Kav says the vast majority of people drank beer at the time. The "everyone does it" defense.

          Has he specifically admitted to underage drinking, then? Would love someone to ask him about all the underage drinkers who "got caught" and had the rest of their lives impacted. Did they deserve to suffer those consequences?

          Well in that time frame most of us drank wine coolers. But nobody I know tried to rape 15-year olds. That defense of his isn’t one.

          Meh. I don't really care that he was drinking. Ask him if "everyone" was drinking to the point of blacking out. Ask him if "everyone" was assaulting women. Wait, maybe don't do that. The answer could be *really* depressing...
