When William Wordsworth once observed, “The child is father of the man,” he might well have been describing the man Brett Kavanaugh’s prep school classmate and (per WAPO) alleged partner-in-crime against Christine Blasey Ford has become.
As seen below on his Georgetown Prep yearbook page, Mark Judge’s notable activities included:
Alcoholics Unanimous Founder, 100 Kegs or Bust.
Per the WAPO, Kavanaugh’s yearbook page listed him (Kavanaugh) as the Treasurer of the Keg City Club, 100 Kegs or Bust).
In Kavanaugh’s Georgetown Prep yearbook, he listed himself as the treasurer of the “Keg City Club — 100 Kegs or Bust” and included references to the “Beach Week Ralph Club” and “Rehoboth Police Fan Club.”
A favorite Judge quote? Noel Coward’s, ”Certain women should be struck regularly, like gongs.”
And the man that he became? Here’s an excerpt from this Daily Caller gem he penned in 2013:
BARACK OBAMA: THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT
Obama lacks courage when it comes to politics, but his real lack of spunk is evident in his abject terror of his wife Michelle. It’s not uncommon for a husband to joke about his wife being angry at him, but Obama obsessively returns to the theme in speech after speech: “Now, I don’t wanna get Michelle angry at me…” On their first date, the couple saw the violent black rage film “Do the Right Thing,” so that Michelle could make sure Barack “was down with the struggle.” With her love of violent movies, her fixation on fitness, and death glare that appears when she doesn’t like what she’s hearing, Michelle is actually more man than her husband. Oh for the days when president George W. Bush gave his wife Laura a loving but firm pat on the backside in public. The man knew who was boss.
(Sounds like he still liked the idea of certain women being struck regularly, just to remind them who’s boss.)
But it’s all good, because God authorizes healthy, rowdy “creatureliness” among truly manly men.
From 10 Things I Learned from the Jesuits, RealClearReligion.org:
6. It's OK to have a good time. Catholic guys like to have a good time. We drink. We wrestle. We (politely) chase women. Occasionally, there is an arrest. Yet we were taught to keep revelry in its proper place. While a lot of people when I was in school in the 1980s were getting high or drunk to try and reach some unattainable transcendence, a heaven here on earth (and truth be told I was one of them), we learned that the reason we are occasionally unserious is that ultimately God is in charge. The authority on this subject is the great retired Georgetown University Jesuit Fr. James V. Schall. When your rowdiness is under the authority of God, it becomes a healthy and important affirmation of our creatureliness, not a pathway to nirvana.
Yup, God’s making them do it. (Would Obama ever chase a woman, politely or not?)
I found both of these articles with five minutes of Googling. There are many more but the vileness of these is such that I haven’t the stomach to pursue the topic.
My question: Is Mark Judge typical of the Georgetown Prep class of 1983?
Because if he is, may whatever gods that really be intervene to protect all women and the men who truly care about them.

Updated: In response to some comments, and to balance the picture of life at GP in 1983 and how it has affected different students in different ways, I am offering this review of Judge’s 2005 book God and Man at Georgetown Prep: How I Became a Catholic Despite 20 Years of Catholic Education.
Its author claims to have been at GP at the same time. The conclusions he has come to about his time there are strikingly different. Please read them.
