I feel like Wonkette: a reader sent along a bit of personal commentary about Deutsch, from someone who knew him at Texas A&M. It's gossip, nothing more, so take it or leave it.
Well, of course, the Batt <the Aggie school paper, The Battalion> is not the Times, so there was nothing in today's issue. However -- you will love this! talk about your "Aggie Network"... -- sitting across the hall from me even as I write is a former editor of said rag.
According to XXXXX this guy "gives Republicans a bad name". A friend of hers used to date him. XXXXX called him "a stereotype Young Republican", and described him as very over the top; very "histrionic" in all his reactions. He objected once to a joke told by a female coworker at the Batt; his reaction was "if you weren't a girl, I would smash your face in".
XXXXX also knows the Nick Anthis mentioned in the article. He is a Rhodes scholar who also used to work on the Batt. She said she was not surprised that he would be the one to ferret out this information.
XXXXX can't believe this. She was invited to, but did not attend, the Deutsch's graduation party, which he apparently threw for himself. She started an email to the current Batt editor as I left her office....
