Kavanaugh buffeted by more uncorroborated charges as Dems seek to derail nomination
Ramirez told the magazine (The New Yorker) she had become inebriated during a drinking game and was on the floor when the alleged incident took place.
The bitch was so shit faced she couldn't remember what happened the next day... let alone 36 years ago!
But thanks to a miracle of miracles... Her memory kicks in just before Kavanaugh is to be confirmed...Talk about a coincidence!
"Ramirez spent six days "carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney" before telling the full version of her story."
Since they're getting mileage out of it I suspect these allegations are going to pop up faster than Cosby can open a quaalude bootle.
Bet this isn't far off...

Second woman accuses Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in new report; Peter Doocy reports from Capitol Hill.
An uncorroborated, decades-old claim that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh exposed himself to a college classmate did not pass The New York Times' smell test, according to the White House.
The claim by Debbie Ramirez that the federal judge sexually harassed her during a Yale University party is the latest to rock the confirmation process. It was published by The New Yorker, despite the fact that none of the people Ramirez said could back her story did so.
“The Times had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate her story, and could find no one with firsthand knowledge," the Times wrote in a story that followed the New Yorker report. "Ms. Ramirez herself contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.”
The White House pointed to several other potential inconsistencies as it mounted an aggressive pushback to the latest Kavanaugh bombshell. As Kavanaugh himself denied the accusation, the White House noted the accuser admitted there were “gaps” in her memory as she had been drinking at the time, she spent six days “assessing her memories” in conversations with her attorney and the magazine acknowledged no other eyewitnesses backed up the account.
The claim followed that of a California woman who alleges Kavanaugh held her down and tried to force himself on her while both were in high school. Like Ramirez's claim, that charge, by Christine Blasey Ford, has not been corroborated.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, late Sunday slammed Senate Democrats for withholding information from the committee regarding the new sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh.
The Iowa Republican said the committee will attempt to evaluate the new claims, but said in a statement “it appears that they [Democrats] are more interested in a political takedown" than “pursing allegations through a bipartisan and professional investigative process.”
Ramirez claimed Kavanaugh exposed himself to her while she was intoxicated during a drinking game in the 1983-84 academic year, when Kavanaugh was a freshman. She also claimed she inadvertently touched Kavanaugh's penis when she pushed him away and says the incident left her "embarrassed and ashamed and humiliated."
The report stated that the magazine had not corroborated that Kavanaugh was at the party in question. An anonymous male classmate said he was told that Kavanaugh had exposed himself to Ramirez within the following days.
Ramirez admitted to the magazine that she does not fully remember the alleged incident because she had been drinking at the time.
The magazine also reported that Ramirez spent six days "carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney" before telling the full version of her story.

Kavanaugh says the event “did not happen” and that the allegation is “a smear, plain and simple.”
A White House spokeswoman adds in a second statement that the allegation is “designed to tear down a good man.”
Grassley’s office said the committee’s majority staff learned about the allegations in the magazine’s article. His statement read that Democratic staff were aware of the allegations, but did not inform Republican staffers.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called the timing of the new allegations “very suspicious.”
