Bush Is No Idiot
Roberts is the perfect nominee: he pleases no one. If he were the neo-con poster boy, then the Democrats would have just cause to bork him. This shows his moderation on gay activism, and I'll be amazed if he turns out to be staunchly pro-life in his confirmation hearings--there've been hints already that he's willing to let Roe V. Wade stand. This puts the left in a bind that is its own fault. By maneuvering themselves into the position of having abortion as a litmus test (and gay rights to a lesser degree I would think) they were vulnerable to a nominee that is adequately pro-choice and then brings a raft of conservative principles to SCOTUS under the radar, and Bush jumped on it. Attacking Roberts' Catholicism is the only hope the Democrats have now, and that could backfire: I wonder how many Democratic Senators are Catholics themselves or in primarily Catholic districts?

Oh, Bush is an idiot all right. I agree that Roberts was a brilliant pick, but I highly doubt it was Dubya's idea.

Also noteworthy is that Gucci Bag Classic is that it in one piece - almost perfect - if not a little trim , designed to look.
