A doppleganger? Seriously? That's where they're going now? A doppleganger for Kavanaugh?

Jesus Christ!!!

1. Wait, what? A body double?

[CincyDem]

6. yeah - some guy has come up with the theory, including pictures...

...that it was some other guy in the class who might have, in the dark, with your eyes closed, looked like Kav. He went as far as laying out a floorpan of some kind to explain how it all happened ??? Serious WTF land.

Rachel just did a little bit of it and Prof Ford had just responded. Gist of response: Nope...I know them both and knew the "double" well enough that I visited him in the hospital after an injury so No...no mistake here. They left the guys name out of the story/letter but did say "so now there's a middle school teacher in ??? who's been drawn into this mess as the stand-in attacker".

Such asshats.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Wow, grasping at straws, aren't they?

[Kajun Gal]

14. Straight out of a Stephen King novel.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Just finished watching the Netflix series "The Innocents" - maybe he's a shifter.

[CincyDem]

20. Yep - what I find so flipping amazing is...

...that we'll probably hear this come up during questioning.

"Prof Ford, is there any possibility that your alleged attacker was actually a time traveling shape shifting lefty who traveled back from mid-september 2018 looking like Judge Kavanaugh to plant this memory in your subconscious during a dream?" No ? You say that with such certainty ? Are you absolutely sure this isn't possible ???

lolol. I hate to make fun of this but yet, it's the best they can do.

[madaboutharry]

17. This other person was named in a series of tweets.

Josh Marshall has it in a story on TPM called “This is Nuts”

Someone is going to get sued for defamation.

[CincyDem]

23. Hilarious tweet floating around...

"Wait, what if those 63 women actually knew John Doe as a good person and NOT Brett Kavanaugh. Equally possible, no?"





Sorry - I just find this such an astoundingly off the wall theory. But, I'm sure there are trump humpers lapping it up.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

25. We have just entered the Twilight Zone.

2. What are you talking about? NT

8. Found this. Washington Post's Kathleen Parker

33. Rediculous. They dont even look that similar to me.

Eyes and nose are very different.

Desperation time. Good sign.

3. She Said She Knew Both Of Them...

Con Knobs Playing Games, "Surprise"!!! ..

4. What are you talking about?

If you're going to start a thread, please put enough info in the OP to at least give people a clue.

A link would be nice.

As it is, it sounds like there could be a pod version of Kavanaugh in the confirmation process.

9. Here you go - in the Washington Post no less

16. The Evil Twin!

Standard deus ex machina for second-rate mystery writers. I didn't think Kathleen Parker was that stupid but I guess I'm wrong.

[underpants]

19. I'm surprised she actually made a point

I used to read the local paper and they published her back in the 90's. I'd read her columns and be amazed that she never actually made a point. I just figure she had dirt on someone


This has some funny twitter responses

12. Rachel Maddow show.

[madaboutharry]

5. That night was not the first time she met him.

Dr. Ford knew him before this party.

There is talk among some nut jobs that it wasn’t Kavanaugh who attacked her, rather someone else who looked similar.

On Talking Points Memo, Josh Marshall has a story about it called “This Is Nuts”

[torius]

10. maybe the double had a clone?

There could be an army of them who replicate. Enough to fill the SC until the sun burns out. But a few of them glitch and get rapey. And go to casinos.

[Retrograde]

18. He's a shape shifter?

Why not go all the way and bring in Lizard People?

All of these excuses and "explanations" convince me more and more that Kavanaugh did do what he's accused of - and more.

[qazplm135]

31. to be fair

its quite possible he IS a lizard person.

We know Ted Cruz is.

[MrsCoffee]

21. Denied it happened and then said it was probably some football player who did it.

These guys are absolutely fucking insane on power.

[Sneederbunk]

22. Is there a doppelganger for Mark Judge too?

[Garrett78]

24. I always wish I had been a fly on the wall in the room when these strategies are developed.

"Hear me out, fellas. What if we suggest that a Kavanaugh doppelganger is who tried to rape Dr. Ford?"

"Wow, that's a great idea."

"Nice. Good thinkin', buddy."

"Yep, that's a winner. Let's go with doppelganger."

"Sounds good. Start reaching out to your sources in the media."

[asiliveandbreathe]

26. Kav sure does have some special friends..

maybe a case of mistaken identity,,,,and using his name????!!!!!

[nolabear]

27. Whelan is taking a drubbing on Twitter.

That conspiracy theory looks reeeeeeally stupid in the light of day.

[MaryMagdaline]

29. Twitter is having a field day

This whole story underscores the fact that conservative men know damn well this assault happened

[Oneironaut]

28. It was Kavanaugh's evil twin!

You know, the one who will come back from the dead when we least expect it.

[underpants]

35. Sounds like a soap opera storyline

Seriously

[unblock]

30. A doppelganger? Wow, we better delay a lifetime appointment until we get this all sorted out, right?

[dlk]

32. Desperation...

[LuckyCharms]

34. Nope. She knows it was Kavanaugh by his sulfur breath. n/t
