“As the Kavanaugh destruction campaign taught us, all of us must go back in time right away and delete every silly thing we said to buddies on a Saturday night cruising around town in high school,...”

It does not appear that Mike Ertel was in high school in 2005 as he was born in 1969.

You’re right. Sorry.
I changed the subject along the way to apply to all of us in the hyper microscopic examination of all the things everyone can be sorry about. He is a total jerk, however.

I didn’t mean to extend any sympathy to this Mike Ertel guy.
Even if he flunked a lot he wouldn’t have been in high school.

Jeff Foxworthy joke:

Kid: The one good thing about dad being held back in the fifth grade again this semester is now we can walk to school together every morning.

Aren’t those that took offense to
this, racists? Would dressing up
in greenface be any different?
Would he be accused of being an
alien? What if he fell face forward
in a bucket of tar, would a
explanation be necessary? I may
look at you with curious eyes
if you looked to be of a different
hue, but I certainly wouldn’t
consider you a racist.
