We’re Now Talking About Flatulence At Kavanaugh’s Hearing. Yes, Really.

We’re now at the point where we’re talking about flatulence. Yes, really.

Democrat Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse started talking about Kavanaugh’s high school yearbook again and got all caught up on the word “boof.”

“It refers to flatulence, senator, I was 16,” Kavanaugh said.

"I don't know if it's buffed or boofed, how do you pronounce that?" "That refers to flatulence, we were 16."

“Senator, what do you like to drink?”
“Boof” means flatulence?
This is f’n bonkers.

“That refers to flatulence. We were 16.” We’re really getting the goods thanks to Sen. Whitehouse.

PS. You should know that libs are now saying that he’s lying because Urban Dictionary has a different definition. I’ve seen them say it also means weed, anal sex and/or sticking drugs up your butt.

I repeat. Democrats are accusing Kavanaugh of lying about a word that he says he and his friends used to describe flatulence.

I can’t.
