Let's talk about James Woods. So he is apparently refusing to delete the offending tweet. And so James Woods is supposed to be, you know, got suspended from Twitter but he can go back on as soon as he deletes the offending tweet. Now part of the issue which I didn't know about is that apparently his girlfriend is the one who retweeted this thing that was an old meme that James Woods had tweeted a…
← Previous segment →Alan Dershowitz. Hmm. Okay, so what is your net net of that? Let's go back to Kavanaugh for a minute because it's the interesting thing. Oh by the way I tweeted this morning. It was a pretty popular tweet and I said what are the odds we're going to get to the end of this week without a description of Kavanaugh's genitalia and matching it to some kind of vegetable or fruit? I'm going to say that the odds of getting to the end of this week with an actual description of his genitalia is low.
Now I'll tell you I don't know who would try to get that job ever again. Give you imagine if somebody, I've actually considered this in the past. I've thought to myself oh I'd make a pretty good Supreme Court justice if they took people who had never been lawyers. And then I thought who would want to go through this process? I sure wouldn't.
Can he make a persuasion scale to say it was who was more persuasive on one to ten? Oh yeah. And by the way the latest accusation is that he exposed his private part when he was 14. Am I wrong that that's roughly the age that he is accused of doing this new thing? Right? The am I wrong about that? The age. It was an accusation that he may have exposed himself when he was 14 years old and we're treating it, and that if he did it was in the context of a joke because they were pretending to do something blah blah. So it wasn't, you know I'm not defending it so let me say that clearly. I'm not defending it. I'm describing it and I'm describing it as the context was a joke.
Let me tell you an incident that happened at my restaurant I owned. So years ago my restaurant manager, her name is Stacy. The restaurant's closed now so this is past history. She was working. So she was my co-owner and manager of the restaurant and she was working in the walk-in freezer and she was down. She was crouched down organizing some boxes or something. So she's doing something on the floor. And one of the servers who was a friend of hers, so he worked there so he was an employee but there were also friends. They knew each other pretty well. He took a sausage, you know just like a sausage, and apparently spent a little time in the kitchen carving the end of the sausage so that it looked let's say a little more lifelike if you know what I mean. And he took the sausage and he put it through his pants zipper so that when he walked into the walk-in closet to surprise Stacy, I was a freshman at Yale okay so I had the year. Rome he was 18. The accusation is it was 18. So that's a correction. If everybody missed this we're not talking about freshman in high school. We're talking about freshman in college. That's the accusation. So Kavanaugh would have been 18 if what I'm saying in the comments is right. Sounds right.
So the server puts the sausage through his pants so it looks like it belongs to him. He's spent some time to do some carving on the end of it to make it look more realistic but it's still the shape and texture of a sausage. So he walks into the walk-in where my co-owner of the restaurant Stacy was crouched down. So she was probably on her knees or crouched down. And he says you know something to her and she turns around and comes face to face with the sausage that he has put through his pants zipper.
Now here's the question. How long did he keep his job? So did the server get fired on the spot? What happened? Well in this case she thought it was the funniest thing she's ever seen in her life because it totally fooled her for a moment. So when she turned around she actually thought it was not only part of the server you know so she did think it was part of his body but because it was literally a carved sausage there was it was like hideous at the same time. So she thought it was real and hideous simultaneously as she was surprised and she saw and she screamed. But when she realized the joke she thought it was like the funniest thing she's ever seen and she told all her friends and you know she loves telling the story. And not only did he keep his job, he was one of the favorite employees.
Now when you hear that story you're probably saying to yourself well if somebody did that in my office they would not keep their job very long. And of course everything depends on the situation and the people and how well do you know the person and is this really a joke or is this sexual harassment. A lot of it just depends on the person. In this case yeah this was clearly a situation where you could imagine someone getting fired. It were you know practically arrested. Probably not arrested but you could certainly see somebody getting fired for it or written up or something. But because they knew each other you know nothing like that was the case. It was just a very inappropriate funny time. Yeah she was not in the category of people who don't have a sense of humor. That's true.

So I asked you earlier to name three men that remind you of Democrats. So who are the three men who are Democrats and I would think Michael Moore comes to mind, Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker. Who are your three? Who are the top three Democrats you think of? So anyway my point is that if the three men you think about, if you're a woman and you think of political people, the three Democrats you think…
