What, your feelings were hurt? After listening to how Bush was going to sell us out, that he was a wimp and a weenie, that he would be PC, etc. etc. for the entire week, those of us who had confidence in the President were perhaps a trifle miffed.

As far as this column, Ann is flat-out wrong, and I don't understand why she has published something that will be fodder for the left. Since the nomination is made, it does no good to wring one's hands in public, if she thinks this is a bad choice. What does she want...the President to withdraw this name?

President Bush and his father have spoken before about how Souter was a bad mistake. President Bush campaigned on having someone on the bench who interprets the law rather than making it.

The idea that this man is like Souter is laughable. I am as puzzled and irritated by this column as I was by Peggy Noonan's over the top criticism of the President's Inaugural Address, which also made no sense.

At any rate, she is wrong, and this column's tone is strident and makes me think less of her.

Although I disagree with AC on Roberts, I don't think the Left can use this as fodder. AC's argument is that he is not conservative enough, the Left is not going to use that argument.

I agree with you that it is difficult to fathom what AC would like to accomplish with this hastily published screed. I think she wants to get on all the talk shows and radio shows in the next two days and this is a way to make sure that happens.

Looks like you're the one offended by this column, maybe *your* feelings are hurt? Awww.....

If that puzzled you, I'm sure you were made worse than the most difficult jigsaw puzzle on Peggy Noonan's column about Ed Klein's book The Truth About Hillary.
