Funny how the Washington Post writer of this article bemoans the 50s nostalgia of Judge Robert's family. We all can surmise that the writer longs for the smelly 60s and the shaggy-haired Woodward/Bernstein 70s.

Likely the author is more into the runways of Milan and Paris than anything so stogy as last week's fashions. Be that as it may, the point of the article wasn't the clothing style, but to mock the candidate for the Supreme Court. Such clothes are far from alien to that building, nor to the guests that visit, so the only reason why it would come up as an issue now is as a thinly veiled attack against him, and if you're going to attack, at least have a good point...

Considering how many cards Hallmark sells each year with that dismal Christmas scene, as the author alludes to, perhaps he or she might notice that Hallmark always sells out of that card.

Guess the people of America are more than comfortable with that image, and the author might want to take a moment or three to integrate that into their brain.

How about bemoaning the '50's nostalgia with Senator Dick "Eddie Haskell" Durbin, and Senator Barak "Lumpy" Obama? These monikers really fit this crew, and many of us are ashamed to be from Illinois because of it.
