NY TIMES INVESTIGATES ADOPTION RECORDS OF SUPREME COURT NOMINEE'S CHILDREN
**Exclusive**
The DRUDGE REPORT has uncovered a plot in the NEW YORK TIMES' newsroom to look into the adoption of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts.
The TIMES has investigative reporter Glen Justice hot on the case to investigate adoption records of Judge Roberts two young children, Josie age 5 and Jack age 4, a top source reveals.
Judge Roberts and his wife Jane adopted the children when they each were infants.
Both children were adopted from Latin America.
A TIMES insider claims the look into the adoptions are part of the paper's "standard background check."
Roberts young son Jack delighted millions of Americans during his fathers Supreme Court nomination announcement ceremony when he wouldnt stop dancing while the President and his father spoke to a national television audience.
Previously the WASHINGTON POST Style section had published a story criticizing the outfits Josies and Jacks mother had them wear at the announcement ceremony.
One top Washington official with knowledge of the NEW YORK TIMES plans declared: Trying to pry into the lives of the Roberts family like this is despicable. Childrens lives should be off limits. The TIMES is putting politics over fundamental decency.
One top Republican official when told of the situation was incredulous. This cant possibly be true?

Wow. I would have said that the National Enquirer didn't have a political agenda.

really? wow a war hero /sarc
I like calling them the New York Trash. Or referring to them as the New York Trash-Tabloid -- giving the National Enquirer a run for its money...
Is the NY Times sinking lower than democraticunderground.com? I love it when they expose themselves this way.
One prints outrageous fabrications, celebrity gossip and
personal matters of no legitimate concern to the public and the other is sold in Supermarket checkout lanes.
Anyway, it is all speculation, and I trust that this adminstration has already looked into the issue, and if there were any inproprieties they would not have nominated him. I suspect there nothing to find, and the media will come up empty.
Zey are frohm nize Aryian Schtock.......in Argentina....
//sarcasm off.
Have these people no shame.
"lots of nazi war criminals supposedly fled to argentina. is the slimes maybe trying to link these kids to one of them?"
The thing that has always annoyed me is the widespread cluelessness about "Hispanics" in general. Somebody needs to get Clemenza in on this thread. How do they think the European surnames got there? Gonzalez? Please. Argentinians, Chileans, many Brazilians... white as any European, because they descend from Europeans... from Spain and Portugal, Germany and France, many of whom were quite blonde. Any "Nazi" presence there would have been minor; they chose South America precisely because they could blend in to the population already present there.
It's just stupid, stupid, stupid. Stunningly so.
Aren't adoption records SEALED ..??
The Times is sending Roberts a message, IMO - "Withdraw your name NOW, or else."
"Boy (and Girl) From Brazil"
I'd make that a LOL if it weren't so disGUSTing. On the Slimes' part, of course.
"Petula Dvorak?"...nah.....no way..
It's just one of their many ridiculous complaints. They don't like their CLOTHING, oh and they REALLY are offended that Roberts' children look like JFK's kids.
If you can stand the drivel, look here:

They even have side-by-side pictures.
Good points.
Ah! But we can do more changing their nickname to the New York Trash-Tabloid. It still retains the "T", but totally changing the meaning -- which I feel is appropriate. A Trash-Tabloid does stuff like this, not a real newspaper with real journalism in their work.
I just e-mailed them; thanks for the link.
