A real Poindexter, and not the good kind

Princeton classmates remember Sam Alito:

Andrew Napolitano '72, a senior judicial analyst for Fox News and a former New Jersey Superior Court judge, said Alito hasn't changed much since their college years.
"He's a teetotalling, early-to-bed and early-to-rise legal scholar," Napolitano said. "He's modest, charming and brilliant ... There is no arrogance in Sam whatsoever."
NERD! Man, it would have been so much cooler if somebody said: “Yeah, I saw him shotgun a Molson in two seconds flat then he burped ‘Go Tigers’”. Now I’m not so sure I can support this nomination.

Wikipedia:
Poindexter was convicted on multiple felony counts on April 7, 1990 for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, lying to Congress, defrauding the government, and the alteration and destruction of evidence pertaining to the Iran-Contra Affair. The convictions were reversed in 1991 on the grounds that the prosecution's evidence may have been tainted by exposure to Poindexter's testimony before the joint House-Senate committee investigating the matter, in which Poindexter's testimony was compelled by a grant of 'use immunity'. The prosecution was not able to re-try the case.

Puns aside, if that's the "good kind" of Poindexter, what would the "bad kind" be?
