Now, with bonus reasons! Keep it level, Kos ... Don't have a cow, NARAL ... MoveOn, PFAW, and somebody yank that laptop away from Ms. Van den Heuvel...! There are at least ten reasons to rejoice in the John G. Roberts nomination:
10. At least we won't have to endure cable news commentary from Ken "nuke Mecca" Salazar and Mel "Schiavo memo" Martinez, which would have been a dead certainty if the nominee had been Hispanic ...
9. No chance Rick Sanchez will move into the analyst chair on CNN (see #10 above).
7. Lazy, low key confirmation hearings will provide plenty of time for Ralph Neas to get his wig right for TV.
6. Roberts seems to be a straight-laced kind of guy, so no hairy Coke cans.
5. Uncomfortable nights ahead for Dubya -- Laura's gonna be pissed.
4. The comforting certainty that Janice Rogers Brown won't be in a position to encounter any hairy Coke cans ... 3. Hey, it could be worse. Bush could have disinterred Judge Bork.
----------- Roberts reactions from the right (via Wizbang) .. the left, via DailyKos, and the center, c/o the Moderate Voice. Feel free to come up with your own reasons to love John G. Roberts. After all, it's your world, I'm just blogging in it.
