Little Lies Mean A Lot

Brett Kavanaughs fraught relationship with the truth took another hit Sunday, when a classmate from Yale called the Supreme Court nominees claim of being a moderate drinker in college a blatant mischaracterization. Under oath, Kavanaugh said that he was too busy being angelic studying and playing sports to get stumbling drunk.
On many occasions I heard Brett slur his words and saw him staggering from alcohol consumption, not all of which was beer, Chad Ludington, a fellow athlete, wrote in a statement. The drunk Kavanaugh would also turn belligerent. In one episode, Ludington recalled, he threw a beer in the face of a man who had made a semi-hostile remark.
It is a mark of the habitual liar to tell untruths that dont even advance ones cause. I wouldnt want to saddle anyone with the stupid things they did in high school or college. Drinking to excess is commonplace. Its certainly not a hanging offense if the person has since shaped up.
But Kavanaugh lied and lied in a shockingly casual manner. One example was his assertion that drinking at the age of 18, which he did much of, was legal. It took no time to check the fact that Maryland had by then raised the drinking age to 21.
