Ari Fleischer, former press secretary for Pres. George W. Bush, has come up with a new word for the political lexicon. It is Feinsteined. This is when an anonymous letter from an anonymous source with an unknown allegation is supposedly sent to the FBI in an effort to derail the nomination of a judicial candidate. In this case, the nominee is Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the allegations may or may not be something non-sexual he did at a party with a girl when he and she were 17 years old.
First came getting “Borked.” Now there is getting “Feinsteined.” A secret source. An unknown allegation (from high school) and an FBI referral. This isn’t advice and consent. It’s attack and burn. https://t.co/YKWlox1klo— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 14, 2018
In the interest of full disclosure, I may or may not have gotten drunk at a New Year's Eve party when I was 17 and may or may not have kissed a girl at the stroke of midnight who was another guy's girlfriend and may or may not have gotten in trouble with my mom for coming home drunk from a party.
High school? Didn't they go back to elementary school to attack Mitt Romney?
ReplyDeleteMy wife had a friend who was known through high school for farting while jumping on the trampoline. We figure her friend better not ever run for office, if she turned out conservative.
Apparently what DiFi did when age 17 is unfit for print. But you can internet it or so I've heard.

This crap is why good people refuse to run for office. They don't want their entire life and family dragged through the mud... sigh
ReplyDeleteYou just nailed it.
