So in a way, for me as a long-time resident of Montgomery county in Maryland, the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) intertwining with what sounds like a mysterious sex scandal, seems at times, well, provincial.
Montgomery county, a mostly residential area adjunct to Washington, DC and home to the capital's government officials, lawmakers, lawyers, lobbyists and journalists, has one of the nation's wealthiest and most highly-educated demographics, with very low rates of crime and many men and women who cringe at anyone making a dirty joke.
