Another Pathetic Low For The Press In Its Attempts To "Get" John Roberts

Ellen Goodman, writing in the Boston Globe, has a "Sexism Award" for Judge John Roberts:

We award John Roberts, nominee for the Supreme Court, the Let's Hope He Grew Out of It Prize. As a teenager, Roberts editorialized against admitting women to his parochial school because he didn't want to study Shakespeare's racy passages with ''a blonde giggling and blushing behind me." Ruth Ginsburg, beware!

... and when Roberts was 4, he made fun of his sister because he had a "wee-wee" and she didn't.

The nerve of Bush to appoint such a blatant sexist! I mean, whoever heard of teenaged boys being embarassed about such things in the presence of teenaged girls? Instead of appointing Roberts, the President should have followed the First Lady's advice - at least according to Ellen Goodman:

Finally, our Knight in Shining Armor Prize goes to George Bush for so many reasons, but especially this one. He didn't follow his wife's advice to nominate a woman to the Supreme Court, but he did let her appoint the first woman chef to rule the White House kitchen. Who said there wasn't progress?
