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.
She is always out for the publicitiy angle for herself. Like Mark Fuhrman and many others we see constantly making rash statements and often before the facts are known. But there are some on the right much like those on the left...they will NEVER be satisfied, and they take great pleasure in telling us all that.
I understand some reservations about an appointment of someone who isn't widely known for his opinions. However, one would think it made more sense to investigate, talk to people who know him, look at who he worked for (Reagan, for goodness sake).
I just don't understand this column at all. If she needed to meet a deadline on a column, she could have done one about the press's befuddlement yesterday, or Schmer's long list of ridiculous questions, or the fact that the fax machines from Naral, Planned Parenthood, and NOW were churning out reams of paper the minute Roberts' name was known.
It's very puzzling. I honestly sat and read this with my mouth open in astonishment.
At any rate, she is wrong.
