Roberts Says no to Michael Jackson

Many questions have been posed since President Bush nominated John G. Roberts to the Supreme Court last month. Can his son cut a mean rug? (I think we all know the answer to this one.) Where does he stand on abortion rights? Why did he omit information about his lobbying activities? While some of these questions may never receive adequate responses, the Washington Post has uncovered the answer to one of the most important questions that should be asked of Judge Roberts...How do you feel about the King of Pop? For those of you too lazy to click on the link to read the full article, I will give you the breakdown. While working for Ronald Reagan, Roberts wrote memos which recommended that the White House refrain from offically thanking MJ for charitable activities, despite requests from the pop star's PR camp. In fact, his sarcastic memo even cited Bruce Springsteen, which is pretty awesome if you appreciate the Boss like I do (and you should.) I think this newly uncovered document sheds some positive light on the nominee. Even twenty years before the crotch grabbing, jesus juice-serving pop star encountered his legal troubles, Roberts knew Reagan was better off not giving the perv an endorsement. My new question posed for the American public is, how can you care about where Roberts stands on Roe v. Wade after we know that he shot down Captain Eo?
