I said the totality of claims he made under oath about his drinking, which include that he didn't black out, pass out, have memory lapses or become aggressive, 99.99%+ for sure include lies. I stand 100% behind that assessment.https://twitter.com/jpodhoretz/status/1046906804075188224 …

I have no way of judging this man, however are you claiming that he's lying about this because it seems unrealistic to you? I don't think it's true that *everybody* drinks to the point of passing out. I also think that many are without serious memory lapses or anger problems.

It is of course possible that he used to drink until he got angry and passed out, but I think your confidence level on this is insanely high.

Are we supposed to consider Kavanaugh's testimony like he's just a randomly selected man off the street? And not look at, like, every newspaper over the past two weeks?

The argument seems to be "Kavanaugh has been drunk before, therefore he must have been black-out drunk, therefore his memories are unreliable, therefore he is a rapist". If prosecution depends on getting him to nullify his speech it is tenuous and requires better corroboration.
