Back to the '80s prep life with Brett Kavanaugh

The more I read about Brett Kavanaugh's younger days, the more this scene from "Trading Places" came to mind.

And then in his later college years, I could see Kav being part of this crew. Especially the soulless James Spader character.

It's not a coincidence that "Less than Zero" author Brett Easton Ellis went to a elite country day school growing up, and then went to Bennington College on the East Coast. He knew these entitled types well.

People like Brett Kavanaugh may be elite, but they aren't special and aren't worthy of respect. They got to where they were through being members of the Lucky Sperm Club, and an ability to go lower than anyone else, without an ounce of empathy for anyone outside of their Bubble.

This is the type of scum that makes up most of the DC-based side of the GOP, and Paul Ryan fit right in with these guys once he got to the Beltway 20 years ago. Their act was sickening 30 years ago, and it's even less OK today.
