Geeze.. What is it with these people? Can't come up with anything to complain about in someone's record, so you start attacking their CLOTHES?

Granted, it was the Style section, but still...

[kittymyrib]

This was no doubt written by one of the many bitter lesbians of the WashCompost Style section who will never have a family of their own, so they attack other people's children.

[unixfox]

The media is like the mafia, if they can't get to you they will go after your family.

Rush predicted this yesterday. He said that since they wouldn't be able to complain about the wierd beard (bork) or mustache (Bolton), they'd go after the wholesomeness of the well-groomed family.

[Marysecretary]

EXACTLY! Libs are really losing it when all they have to complain about are well-dressed people. Can't find anything about Roberts himself, so attack the family's choice of clothing. Cheez.

[MinuteGal]

Pretty in Pink was okay for the Hildabeest's saccharine TV interview during her term as co-president. Jackie O had a famous pink suit. She dressed young Carolyn in traditional eastern establishment frocks......and remember the little John John in the stereotypical sailor suit?

Count on the Compost to conveniently lose its memory and its mind.

Yeah, white people must hide themselves away in shame.

[beyond the sea]

There they were -- John, Jane, Josie and Jack -- standing with the president and before the entire country. The nominee was in a sober suit with the expected white shirt and red tie. His wife and children stood before the cameras, groomed and glossy in pastel hues -- like a trio of Easter eggs, a handful of Jelly Bellies, three little Necco wafers. There was tow-headed Jack -- having freed himself from the controlling grip of his mother -- enjoying a moment in the spotlight dressed in a seersucker suit with short pants and saddle shoes. His sister, Josie, was half-hidden behind her mother's skirt. Her blond pageboy glistened. And she was wearing a yellow dress with a crisp white collar, lace-trimmed anklets and black patent-leather Mary Janes. ---

Very petty writing! Unreal, nasty animosity toward good things from the left lowlifes!

[Corin Stormhands]

Granted it was 40 years ago, but these same morons would be praising Jackie Kennedy for how she dressed her children.

Good grief. So the wife and the kids dressed up for the most important day in their husband/father's life.

Oh, the horrors.

[Liberty Valance]

the 1950s-style tableau vivant that was John Roberts and his family.

WaPo doublespeak for evil conservative breeders.

The sarcastic venom drips right off the words.

[Mad Mammoth]

The Washington ComPost is nothing but a sick clone of it's socialist sister, the NYT. Be it the Bush Administration's economic policies, foreign policy, the War on Terror, judicial choices, whatever it is, "the Post is agin it".

One thing is for sure: IF (God forbid) there is ever a terrorist attack in Washington D.C., the safest place will be the Post building, because WHY on Earth would al Qaeda attack one of their ALLIES?!?

And of course the same goes double for the NYT in New York.

[MayflowerMadam]

Probably the same group that fawned over Caroline and John-John in their precious clothes.

[LucyJo]

People who attend church services across this country on Sunday mornings didn't think a thing about that so-called "1950's" style. Not everybody dresses their kids to reflect the "modern" Hollywood culture...it's a values thing. Decent people like decent clothes.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

From the article: "like a trio of Easter eggs, a handful of Jelly Bellies, three little Necco wafers."

Easter..."wafers"? Anyone else detect ever-so-slightly veiled anti-Catholic slurs here? They see a normal Christian family and have to smear them for looking...conventional? How...sad. Would they prefer a couple of mutilated fetuses in jars like the...uh...families of their colleagues at The Whinington Post?

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Geeze.. What is it with these people?

More than likely The Post writer of the article has had a couple of abortions. Automatically snarls at couples with children.

[linkinpunk]

There was tow-headed Jack ... dressed in a seersucker suit with short pants and saddle shoes

Sounds like child abuse.

Vote him down for the SC!

(/sarc)

Is this the best they can come up with?

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

It's the first time I have ever seen Catholics referred to metaphorically as "wafers" of any kind. So what's next next an article criticizing the kind of cars they drive, their house, and where they vacation???

[Atlas Sneezed]

This is in the same category as the snipes at Katherine Harris for her makeup.

They actually try to convince people that handsome or beautiful conservatives are ugly or contemptible.

[Kryptonite]

By Robin Givhan.

Sheesh, this is the most petty piece of "journalism" I think I have ever seen.

First she acknowledges that the kids couldn't dress themselves, then she ends with this: "There was only the feeling that, in the desire to be appropriate and respectful of history, the children had been costumed in it."

Yes, they were dressed for the occasion, moron.
