Redstate: Breitbart Confirms Key Detail Of WaPo Story On Roy Moore, Refutes Another

A shockingly honest look at a Breitbart story about Moore — except for the comments.

But regarding the comment and the claim about the phone in the room. Got me thinking, since I’m 58. Back in the 70s when I was a teenager I remember spending HOURS on the phone and I have memories of being on the phone in my own bedroom but I also remember sitting by the phone in my parent’s bedroom dialing a few digits for Vicki, my crush, wanting to ask her out to the 9th grade dance, and hanging up, over and over for hours. So why was I in their room and not my own? So maybe I didn’t have a phone in my room after all.

Point being, memories are a bit hazy that far back. I just remember spending a lot of time on the phone. That’s the key memory. The location really isn’t important, except for that one incident, because it was a princess phone and I kept staring at it as I dialed it and hung up before doing all 7 digits. That’s how I remembered where it was. That princess phone was definitely in my parent’s room only.

(Oh, I did finally dial all 7 digits after a few hours — and she said no. Ha!)

So yeah, you tend to remember something big in your life like being rejected by your crush. You don’t remember details like where you were when you were having casual conversations beyond that you had them….
