According to Wikipedia, The Daily Caller is a conservative American news and opinion website based in Washington, D.C., which was founded by Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel in 2010.
The Daily Caller sent a camera and a host to Hart Senate office building to offer booze to the protestors (many of whom are assault survivors) and to ask them if they, like Kavanaugh, like beer. The police made them stop handing out beers

Tucker Carlson, in addition to being named ‘Tucker’ and initially styling himself with a bowtie, attended the elite private St. George’s School in Newport, Rhode Island.
The school has some nice accouterments.
Geronimo is a Ted Hood-designed 69-foot fiberglass sloop. Three times during the academic year, Geronimo carries students from St. George’s School on six-week-long voyages. The ship sails year-round between Canadian waters and the Caribbean and is now making a two-year-long journey to the Mediterranean.
You might be interested to know that Billy Bush and Howard Dean also attended St. George’s. Billy Bush, of course, was the man laughing along with Donald Trump as he boasted of his habit of grabbing women’s genitals and doing whatever he wants with them because he’s famous.
When Carlson was at St. George’s, he fell in love with the headmaster’s daughter and later married her. His father-in-law has had a couple of problems with properly reporting sexual assault.
The Rev. George E. Andrews II was headmaster of St. George’s School from 1984 to 1988. The school’s tuition costs $58,000 a year.
In 1989, he moved to Boca Raton, Florida, where he was headmaster at the St. Andrew’s School. In 2007, he retired from the school, reports the Sun-Sentinel.
…In September 2016, The Associated Press reported that the Diocese of Southeast Florida called for an independent investigation into Andrews in early 2016, The report found that Andrews did fire a choirmaster for inappropriate sexual behavior with a student. However, the school lawyer advised him against reporting the choirmaster to authorities…The investigation did find that Andrews knew about the dean of students giving the choirmaster a positive job recommendation and even said that “we will feel his separation deeply” when the man left.
Carlson reportedly quit drinking alcohol in 2002 because he was tired of the hangovers, but he apparently has no problem having his staff hand our beers to sexual assault survivors who don’t want Brett Kavanaugh placed on the Supreme Court.
There seems to be some bratty, preppy, solidarity at work here, and it’s not attractive.
There’s a lot of competition for “worst person in the world.” Not certain he’s top man in that category.
Especially today!
As a South-Asian American, I must demur. The worst person in the world is Neil Patel. That fucker. That fucker. He needs to check the back of his hand — he’s nearly as brown as I am! WTF is he thinking! That he’ll be spared when they come for us all? That he’ll be the “good wog”? Fucker.
Susan Collins is giving him a run for the money right now. Christ, what an asshole.
Awww fuck! !! As if things couldn’t get any shittier, got a call last night from a local city council member who told me the orange shit-gibbon is coming to my hometown next week to hold one of his “rallies”. And today it was confirmed in the media.
And today I read this, which I had little doubt was looming on the horizon, anyway. My despair knows no bounds right now, but I am still knocking on fucking doors right up until the election. It’s all I’ve got, man. Nothing else to do until the revolution starts.
Can you get people to demonstrate?
I don’t know if he’s the worst, but “Sucker” Carlson, that smug, smarmy MF, is definitely in the top 10. Lotta competition though.
Yes, thank goodness the failed white electorate finally rose up against the nation’s insufferable condescending elitists!
MAGA, dudes! Party on!
The Club is maggot infested garbage.

not just the diocese. The school as well.
Let’s not forget to rub some more salt in this particular wound. Daily Caller is a favorite home for Mark Judge’s writings.
Interestingly, St. George’s School is located on Purgatory Rd. I guess they can’t get away from their Catholic roots. Tucker better watch it. LOL
Yeah the ‘Top 10’ is a REALLLY flat pyramid, lotta #3’s, exponentially more #4’s, etc.
No. Being the wpitw requires a modicum of stature. He’s nobody.
Oh, Hell, what do you expect from an elite boy’s boarding school like St. Andrews? I went to the Choate School in the ’70s and they were all the same then too. Same preppie asshole stuff. The number of boys anyone today should consider “normal,” as in not totally obnoxious about their wealth and privilege, was extremely marginal.
I’ve had plenty of friends from Ivy League schools, but the boys I knew in prep school were not at all the kind of people I would want appointed a lifetime appointment to the S.Ct. It doesn’t look like Kavanaugh is any different, except that he appears to be much worse than many of them. He’s a real piece of work. He has to be in the top 5% completely worst assholes in any crowd, anyplace. A wonderful example of their kiss-up, kick-down philosophy in everything.
They’re the natural aristocrats, don’t you know? If not they’ll remind you the way Kavanugh treated Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).
“United States Senator? She’s just an uppity woman, asking a bunch of fool impertinent questions! We’ll soon put her kind back in the kitchen as soon as I get onto the Court!”
“Don’t you know who I am, woman?”
I wonder if he had actually said that, word for word if it would have made any difference in the end? Doesn’t appear so. I bet he could have actually said all that and then apologized the next day, after the big media furor and Trump bellowing in approval, whether they would all have just said that “he was under stress because of the outrageous nature of the accusations!” and forgotten all about it.
I forgot to mention the strange sexual culture there. I remember my French teacher would actually bend over in front of the front row of the boys desks and openly look at their shorts under the table.
It was ultra-pervy-creepy-pedo, and nobody said anything let alone did anything. There were all sorts of bizarre nasty things that went down – including rapes of some of the girls from the girl’s school there whom they fed liquor to until they were unconscious.
Kavanaugh wasn’t any different than a lot of them in that.
They were already being organized before it was even publicly announced. The info leaked out to us a couple of days ago, and things were set into motion.
