Brett Kavanaugh: 80's Teenager

Did anyone else catch Judge Kavanaugh's movie references during Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's (Idiot, Idiotastan) cross examination on his 1983 yearbook?

Kavanaugh called the yearbook a disaster and said the editors were trying to imitate popular movies. Before he made the movie references we knew exactly what he was going to say: Animal House, Caddy Shack, Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Do you think he wanted to say Porky's? We think he wanted to say Porky's.

Ahhh….the 1980's teenaged sex comedy. Younger reader(s) this was actually a thing in the 1980's.

The best, Risky Business, made Tom Cruise famous. He was actually in another TSC  (Loosing it?) with Shelly Long, believe it or not. This was a vehicle for older woman to fantasize about deflowering Tom Cruise, as was Risky Business.

Come to think of it, the young Brett Kavanaugh reminds us a lot of Tom Cruise's Joel Goodson. Smart, focused, serious. He had the same hair, too.

It's good to see the senate get down to important issues like popular Gen-X movies.
