The Robfather 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 I have yet to see the shit hit the fan. Sure, a couple of those extreme lefty groups are going crazy, but for the most part, reaction is ho hum. The Dems know they are in a no-win situtation. The Dems can't Bork this guy. The Republicans have the 55 votes, and if the Dems go for the fillibuster, the Repubs will just use the nuke card.

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2005 In one of those little "nobody would other read this except it needs to be acknowledged to be believed" categories, partisan conservative blogger at PowerLine thinks the Democrats are starting some kind of shadow propaganda campaign that claims that Roberts is gay because of the color of pants he wore in public one day. The evidence? Well, a lefty blog makes similar implications about it. And this, friends, is why Guys With Blogs will not replace the media, because they're wrong even MORE often than the media is.
