Foolish Women Flock to Roberts

The Reasonable can't stand them because they can't stop them. They're Foolish feminists that support Judge Roberts for Justice. The Washington Posts has the story. Fools like Linda Chavez (in spite of her Foolable views on torture!) step up to the plate:

In a throwback to the politics of the 1980s, the feminist movement and its favored policies and legal arguments of a generation ago have emerged as flash points in the nomination of John G. Roberts Jr. to the Supreme Court.

More than a dozen conservative activists and commentators, in a makeshift group called Women for Roberts, gathered yesterday at the National Press Club, alleging that "feminists on the left" have distorted the nominee's quarter-century-long paper trail to cast him as hostile to equality for women.

"He doesn't have a sexist bone in his body," declared Linda Chavez, who worked with Roberts in the Reagan administration.

The Reasonable Jim VandeHei and Jeffrey H. Birnbaum do their able best to minimize the embarrassing damage that these Foolish females cause the Agenda. Like forgetting to mention that Ms. Chavez didn't just work with Roberts in the Reagan administration:

She has held several political positions, including director of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (1983-1985) and White House director of public liaison (1986)

Not letting a little accuracy stop them, our Reasonable reporters continue the spin:

The critics have seized on comments that Roberts, now 50, made while working as a young lawyer in the Reagan White House. Roberts wrote then on what he called "perceived problems" of discrimination against women, and he made clear his opposition to many of the remedies being pursued at the state and federal levels. One proposal then pushed by liberals -- "comparable worth" laws that would impose pay formulas on employers to try to close a gap between men's and women's wages -- was dismissed by Roberts as "staggeringly pernicious" and "anti-capitalist."

The Women for Roberts event -- organized this week by a conservative public relations firm that was also a consultant to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that campaigned last year against Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry -- was a response to the criticism that greeted the disclosure of Roberts's comments.

Distortions and Non-Sequitor scare tactics. Oh boy! Foaming-at-the-mouth again, gentlemen? Please, keep at it. I haven't had a good laugh yet.

The more they sputter, the more they lose. Please, more sputtering!
