SUPREME THOUGHTS

While the new Supreme Court nominee is apparently not quite the troglodyte that I anticipated Bush to nominate, I remain skeptical.

First, I cannot believe George Bush would actually nominate a good person for any office. He seems to bottom fish only.

Second, Roberts is highly approved by most of the neocons who have weighed in on the nomination. This is surely cause for suspicion, for they are the most destructive gang our nation has seen in its 200+ year history.

Third, Roberts is being mighty coy. Like the administration supporting him, he seems fearful, secretive, and defensive. From all the secretive defensiveness he's displaying, you'd think he was a doctor.

Fourth, to my mind, he just looks shallow. Perhaps he's not, but so far, despite presumed impeccable credentials, I see are sneaky, dishonest wrinkles about the eyes. This surface appearance may be just a perpetual sneer, reinforced by his aforementioned reticence to open up.

All in all, this is a package that I would be wary of. I hope, however, that I am proven dead wrong, for we'll not get anything better out of Bush and his minions.
