NY Times Release Beer Report on Kavanaugh, Critics Immediately Smash Them to Bits
On Tuesday of this week, that bastion of journalistic integrity known as the New York Times — please tell me you noted the sarcasm here — released it’s latest “exclusive” piece on SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
This piece of hard hitting journalism features a handwritten letter from 1983 by a high school aged Kavanaugh who describes his buddies as “loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific pukers among us.” As you might imagine, this absolutely astounding revelation has been met with a whole lot of mockery from folks on the right.
The Times’ David Enrich proudly promoted his piece on Twitter Tuesday. “Exclusive: We obtained a handwritten 1983 letter that Brett Kavanaugh wrote to his high school buddies: ‘We’re loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific pukers among us,'” he wrote.

We also tracked down a copy of Georgetown Prep's underground newspaper, written in part by Mark Judge. It includes a column about Holton-Arms girls, calling them "hosebags." (Look it up.)

Here's the full text of Kavanaugh's two-page letter, sent ahead of "Beach Week" in June 1983. ("Bart" was his nickname in high school.) pic.twitter.com/29VNDUUMnp

As Twitchy points out, Sen. Hatch and other voices on the Right weren’t impressed.
“If you thought they couldn’t top the ice-throwing story.. think again,” Hatch wrote in a tweet Tuesday. “This story appears to be about party planning, with teenage rebel Brett Kavanaugh suggesting that they warn their neighbors in advance about the possibility of loud noise.”
Grabien Media editor Tom Elliott got in on the Times-mocking: “Do you have any conception of how deranged you sound to non-insane people? The NYT’s uncovers … a high school letter that describes typical teenage behavior.”

Best thing about the letter is how he circled the word “cash”. He knew the kind of cheap entitled party bastards he was dealing with at beach week and was having none of it.

The NY Times seems to have jumped the shark a few decades ago and just don’t seem to realize how far down the rabbit hole they’ve fallen. It’s sad, pathetic, and just plain, outright stupid for them to have reported on this.
It’s literally like walking into a typical, American high school and just following your average student around for a week and then reporting on it. Kids do stupid things. We know this. We were all kids ourselves once. So what bearing does any of this have on Kavanaugh’s hearing or the allegations against him?
The answer is they have no bearings. It’s nothing.
