NYT: In Reagan's White House, a Clever, Sometimes Cocky John Roberts (OMG, NYT found misspellings!)

New York Times ^ | July 26, 2005 | JOHN M. BRODER and CAROLYN MARSHALL

[OESY]

David Broder could not be reached for comment on the embarrassment that is his son.

[hoosiermama]

Misspelling is a Hoosier thang!

[SittinYonder]

Chuck Schumer: "Judge Roberts, could you please spell Havana?"

Roberts: "H-a-v-a-n-n-a?"


Schumer: "I'm sorry. This man clearly has a conservative judicial philosophy and is unfit to sit on the supreme court."

[linkinpunk]

The WH must be full of dopes!

How could they overlook the misspellings on his FBI background check!

Roberts is doomed!

[cripplecreek]

O noe.

[vollmond]

Here's a statement I'm looking forward to in the confirmation hearings -

"This work was my own. It's much easier to spell when you're copying directly from someone else's work, Senator Biden."

[freebilly]

Here it is, the Quayling of Roberts. When you have nothing of substance against a conservative then turn him into an idiot for "potatoe" or "Havanna"....

[ClearCase_guy]

mild scorn ... AND mis-spellings?

Totally unfit, man! Totally!

[cubreporter]

Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooo...not mispellings! :)

[Constitution Day]

Good grief.

I have been known to beat up on Freepers for their atrocious spelling, but this is petty and absurd.

[Tulane]

Good Lord, the NYT is such a disgrace...spelling errors before the era of spell check...gee whiz...what a news story...This proves Roberts is dumb---that Suma Cum Laude from Harvard notwithstanding...

[CFC__VRWC]

What else do you expect from the same media that mocked the Roberts family for having the temerity to dress up for the most important day in Judge Roberts' professional life?

[Constitution Day]

In a proposed response... he repeatedly misspelled Marielitos (writing "Marielitoes") and rendered the capital of Cuba three times as "Havanna."

I do believe this merits a 'Typso Ping'.

;^)

[Heatseeker]

LOL! I've been chuckling all week as the NYT and their ilk have been trying, with increasing desperation, to get some mud they fling to stick to Roberts.

[Safetgiver]

Isn't Havanna in the country of Cuber?

[chiller]

The NYT just exposed themselves for Quayle-like ridicule by highlighting the mis-spellings. They'll be made to look (correctly) as petty partisans on at least all of the right side of the blogosphere.....if not beyond. Pundits should have fun with this.

[loreldan]

The New York Times: doing all the heavy investigative reporting again.

[Tax-chick]

In a proposed response... he repeatedly misspelled Marielitos (writing "Marielitoes") and rendered the capital of Cuba three times as "Havanna."

Politically-charged Typsoes Ping!

[txrangerette]

Dittoe!

:o)
