DU is the Only place I've seen this story covered. The media, MSNBC included, has not mentioned it this morning at all.

Why?????

Meet @butchgroves, the Head of Upper School at The Oakridge School in Arlington, TX. I have never met him before or communicated with him but here is his message to me earlier tonight. The parents of Oakridge must be so proud to have this man teaching their sons and daughters.

He's 61, and soon to be spending more time with family.

Here's The Spin: The Republican Senators Are COWARDS!

They have to make staffers ask the questions? They don't have enough courage to do it themselves?

They're afraid of turning off women? WHY? Because they're Misogynistic Assholes with NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN?

Fucking Cowards!! The Democrats should be screaming this from the rooftops!

Women Getting Jealous That Men Are Having All The Shooting Fun

Perhaps it's simply a sign of the Women's Empowerment and Me Too movement, but it's Definitely not a gun problem.

The media seems a little bit confused since today's shooting involved a woman. They need to refer back to the recent You Tube offices shooting, which also involved a female shooter.

The good news, is they sound like they're adjusting. As these incidents with a female shooter increase in number, it soon won't be as big an issue

I'd be remiss if I didn't say Thoughts & Prayers, and Thanks to the NRA with funding by many Russians, for making this possible.

Aside From The Sexual Assault, What About His Drinking Habits?

I realize that everybody drinks when they're young. But the things he was doing in High School sound more like things that someone would do in College. And even then, it sounds like drinking was more or less a hobby to him. He is coming across like a Drunk Frat Boy, not exactly someone who would one day go on to be a Supreme Court Justice.

Lots of people go crazy in college, but mature later in life, but it is the exception rather than the norm I would think. I don't see how someone can live that kind of lifestyle, and then become some wholesome family values dude down the road.

It's not a pretty picture, and I'm wondering why his high school and college extra curricular activities were never discussed, unless I missed that. Is it because it happened a long time ago, and everyone is fine with the idea that he is not that person anymore? Therefore they get a pass for being part of a group whose goal was to consume a certain # of kegs during the school year?

If there are any further women who come forward this week, then I think he'll withdraw without need for any hearings next week. If, and of course it's a big if, this was the only incident in his past that he has to worry about, he's probably determined to fight it out. But even then, there's the possibility he knows he's in trouble, and will fall on his sword so Drumpf can nominate someone else right away.
