WASHINGTON â€” A press adviser helping lead the Senate Judiciary
Committeeâ€™s
response to a sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court
nominee Brett
Kavanaugh has stepped down amid evidence he was fired from a previous
political job in part because of a sexual harassment allegation
against
him.

Garrett Ventry, 29, who served as a communications aide to the
committee
chaired by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, had been helping
coordinate the
majority party's messaging in the wake of Christine Blasey Fordâ€™s
claim
that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her 36 years ago at a high school
party.
In a response to NBC News, Ventry denied any past "allegations of
misconduct."

After NBC News raised questions about Ventry's employment history
and the
sexual harassment allegation against him, Judiciary Committee
Spokesman
Taylor Foy replied in a statement: "While (Ventry) strongly denies
allegations of wrongdoing, he decided to resign to avoid causing any
distraction from the work of the committee."

And Ted Kennedy, Clinton, et. Al. Kept getting re-elected.

"Et" is a complete word in Latin. It means "and." The "al" is an
abbreviation and means, among other things, "others." It properly takes
a period, as in et al.Â* What any of that has to do with the fact that an
adviser to the Repubs stepped down because of a sexual assault charge is
beyond my understanding.

It is no more confusing that Clinton saying he gave Paula Jones
$830,000 for an assault he was innocent of and Teddy copping a plea to
leaving the scene of an accident without admitting there was a girl
drowning in the car when he ran away.

Yawn. We're talking today, and about the candidacy of a guy with a
possible lifetime appointment and his facilitators.

Why are the standards different?

Sexual assault is sexual assault regardless of who committed it.
Involuntary manslaughter is involuntary manslaughter regardless of who
committed it.

Involuntary Manslaughter is what happened when he drove off the
bridge.
The fact that he was drunk made it felony vehicular manslaughter.
When he left the girl drowning in the car and went home without even
trying to get help and did not tell anyone until the next day, it
became depraved indifference homicide, 2d degree murder.

If he was Teddy McGillicutty he would not have been able to plead to
simple leaving the scene like he just ran over a mailbox or something.
He would have done hard time in a prison.

In fairness, Teddy was never charged or convicted of involuntary
manslaughter. He copped a plea to avoid it.
