[No one, including Donald Trump, needs to attack Ms. Ford. She believes what she believes. This is not he said-she said. This is a case of an alleged teenage encounter, partially recalled 30 years later without corroboration, and brought forward to ruin Mr. Kavanaugh’s reputation for partisan purposes. … Letting an accusation that is this old, this unsubstantiated and this procedurally irregular defeat Mr. Kavanaugh would also mean weaponizing every sexual assault allegation no matter the evidence. It will tarnish the #MeToo cause with the smear of partisanship, and it will unleash even greater polarizing furies. 17sep18 WSJ]

Well, Punchy, the super twat, like all of us, has the right to do anything she pleases as long as it’s lawful. You can’t even think of Marilyn Monroe without thinking of the Kennedy Brothers. Bobby was banging Marilyn as well. Sibling rivalr. Nor would I be upset with a stumbling Gerald Ford with that bad knee he got from his days as an All American Football Player at Michigan. I am ok with all that. If Gerald and Betty Ford where accomplished by their son Steve ( the guy who snuck girls in and smoked pot in the White House), that would be cool with me.
But Betty Ford is a little different. After Pat Nixon, Betty Ford was a breathe of fresh air. Candid, open, down to earth, and very unpretentious.
One of the first questions the press asked her as First Lady was where she would be sleeping. Betty replied “with my husband in our bed like we always have.” The press thought that was such a hot scoop, it made headlines. First Lady to sleep with President Ford! Guess up to that time, First Ladies had their own separate sleeping arrangements, lol. Ad Betty wore tennis shoes!
Betty always handled herself with dignity and grace. She has helped countless others where the rubber meets the road and I cannot think of a First Lady who has done so much for so many, for fun and often for free. She waved her speaking fees to address conferences. One of a kind. To portray her as a stumbling bumbling drunk to get laughs is degrading to all women.
To take Betty Ford’s honesty, openness, and vulnerability of which Betty Ford shared to the world solely to help other struggling men and women…..to take that and make it a point solely and exclusively to be ridiculed for laughs is beyond me. If anyone should be deported back to Berekely it is those hyprocrites and so called defenders of women who so shabbily trashed Betty Ford.
Be that as it may, I will defend the supertramp’s right to say it and display it. I will defend people having a Hitler birthday party in their own homes as well. I will voice my opinion, but will never condone it nor try to prevent it. That’s what they do in Socialist countries.
As long as this is the country of my birth, I defend everyone’s right to be offensive, stupid, and make asses of themselves. Bar none. That’s what separates the Left from the Libertarians and the Right. To do other would be to stoop to the Left’s level. That is not an option for me.
The Union publishing the drunken Betty Ford as a “miss” is an bigger audience than my mere opinion could possibly reach. Yes, unfortunately the “miss” had to come from a member of the public and not from one person on the Union Board, but the word got out.

Yep, and the Ford’s high school yearbook being scrubbed of all the classmates comments of the girls having keggers and bragging about passing of out at parties…like how drunk can we get! And the racist comments. Looks like the girls prep schools and the boys prep schools were going what 15-17 year olds do. What regulator underage teens do….which is “when the parents are gone, party time at my house.” But that’s not the point.
I don’t know either one of the people. Never met either one. We are told to believe her, but not Kavanaugh? What about Kavanaugh’s family, what they must be going through. His kids. Having the press camped out in front of his house 24/7. Having his sterling name dragged through the mud by a letter that even Chuck Grassley has not seen? We have not heard one single word uttered from Dr. Ford. Just lawyer talk. Where is the due process for Kavanaugh?
My guess is the lawyers from Soros and Co. are trying to line up expert witnesses to explain away all the big holes in the letter, the letter we may never know its contents. National security concerns. lol. Time is running out and they better come up with some collabation pretty soon. But, she don’t need no collaborator her lawyer says. Her lawyer says this, says that, been working on the case since August. Her lawyers and Soros funded groups, along with the media, has been going over every single classmate, neighbor, and resident for anyone on the planet to back up the story. Find the house or block or neighborhood or something.
If justice is what is sought, there is no statute of limitation for assault in Marlyland. Don’t know how long that law has been on the books. Still, Dr. Ford could have the local police look into the manner. Take her statement. Still, where is the crime scene? Witnesses? Hearsay don’t cut it in a court of law. Allegations are not evidence in a court of law. Anything. Throw them, throw us a bone. The media and scores of lawyers are working overtime to come something. The clock is ticking. Bet the Constitution haters have a few more tricks up their sleeves. Never underestimate evil.

Well, if going to the Del Oro makes Punchy feel uncomfortable, then perhaps it is not safe for him to leave his ever dwindling safe place.
Got thinking. I remember when Michelle Obama and the press were really fretting one morning over the 5 or 8 children that got gunned down in Chicago. She was really choked up. “They are just children, children” she woefully exclaimed
. Come to find out the children were 18 and gangbangers. But they were children! Listen to the children. And if the children made a mistake, then we must let them go. Release them. We wouldn’t want to try them as adults or have bone headed capers from the children follow them the rest of their lives, would we? We hold adults to a different standard. Who would ever want to ruin the lives of children? Not me.
So, we have a 15 year old girl and a 17 year old boy. They are just children! We can’t allow the mistakes of youth to follow them into adulthood. That would not be fair and is not who we are. They were but mere children at some house in ‘82 or ‘83 during a summer break in Maryland. Children, mere children.
