But man yesterday...I thought Kavanaugh straight up embarrassed himself. I get that he's pissed, but you gotta do more to at least try to come off as "above it all." He's literally being nominated for the most "above it all" position in the country. Folks in here talking Patrick Bateman-style calm, but I think there's a balance that could've been struck with defending yourself while still keeping your ish together. Show some professionalism.

Dude was up there crying about his daddy's calendars...his dad is still alive! No matter you think about Kavanaugh, that's pretty funny. Seriously, why is he crying??? Did no one prepare him for this? Geez lol

I've got no issues with the tears - this is obviously an emotional time for the guy who is being put through the ringer (to put it mildly).

I had an issue with him suggesting that this was a Clinton conspiracy.

I had an issue with him suggesting, repeatedly, that good grades means that someone can't party too hard on occasion (Rice taught me that was a big ol crock of ****).

I had an issue with him questioning a Senator and asking if she had ever blacked out as a response to her probing him (which apparently Kavanaugh even recognized was an issue, because he felt the need to specifically apologize for that).
