What surprised me about Roberts

Advertisements [?]

Aside from the fact that Roberts was not one of the major names being bandied about, there was one thing that really surprised me about Bush's nomination of Roberts for the Supreme Court.

Roberts was a WHITE MALE.

Typical of this misAdministration is the throwing out of the "sacrificial minority" so that the Repukes can claim that "Look, the Dems, the party of tolerance, are being racist/sexist/whateverist!" and run that as their flimsy cover for someone who was to the right of Falwell . . .
