SCOTUS: How Bush Picked Roberts
Drudge has BUSH PICKS… ROBERTS:
President Bush went to Denmark on July 5 with 11 names of top candidates under consideration. In the last few days, he interviewed five — one on Thursday, two on Friday — including Judge Roberts, who got a presidential tour of the residence, including the Lincoln Bedroom, during his one-hour visit — and two on Saturday.
Bush made his decision last night, finalizing it this morning. During lunch with Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Bush stepped out the room and called Roberts. When he returned, he said to the group, which included the leaders’ wives: “I just offered the job to a great, smart 50-year-old old lawyer who has agreed to serve on the bench.”
And despite the intense scrutiny at the White House, Judge Roberts and his wife came to the presidential residence for dinner tonight. At 7:30 tonight, Bush began notifying congressional leaders.
And who were the five interviewed?
Stay tuned.

Who is Paying for Steven Pearcy’s Art (GARBAGE)?
Is Steven Pearcy’s anti-American art government paid and sponsored? Apparently yes and no.
Eric Hogue has Distancing From Govennment Censorship.
By playing this off as a privately sponsored event, the ‘cash connection’ cannot be made to the coffers of a government agency, staffed by former Gov. Gray Davis nominees. Yet, the concern remains…the AG’s Office with a government agency has determined ‘political speech’, and has excluded ‘political speech’. Censorship IS; when the GOVERNMENT determines WHICH speech gets presentation, and which speech does not. Isn’t this what we have in the lobby of the state’s justice building tonight?
By the way, here is the list of the sponsoring individuals and corporations:
River City Bank, Thadd A. Blizzard, Esq., Davis and Leonard LLP, Ruth Downes, Edward Henning, Jacobsen and McElroy Law Firm, Kanter Immigration Law Office, Law Offices of Rothschild Wishek and Sands, Rick Mitchell, Thomson West, Tom Otter, Steve Peletta
Sandi Wasserman, Sharon Simms, Esq., Solomon Dubnick Gallery, Wiley Manual Bar Association, Women Lawyers of Sacramento, Linda Wood of GBC Realtors, Yamshon Family Trust.
Lockyer did not run for Governor because he was afraid of Arnold.
Flap suggests Lockyer now should look over his shoulder for a primary challenge from Dean Florez for the office of California Treasurer.
Bill Simon must be licking his chops!

John McCain: I work with BOOBS Everyday
Senator John McCain has defended his role in the boob-fest sexy comedy movie, the Wedding Crashers.
“In Washington, I work with boobs every day,” joked McCain during an appearance on NBC’s “Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
McCain was responding to Leno, who noted Matt Drudge ran a headline last week screaming that the Republican was starring in a “boob raunch fest.”
“I think that pushes the limits of his imagination,” said McCain of the headline.
Nahhhhh John, Drudge was messing with you……..
But, Flap agrees with you….. a Senate full of BOOBS.

John Roberts: Abortion Questions?
The MSM is already spinning the Abortion issue, Roberts Likely to Face Abortion Questions.
The biggest question mark may be his stand on abortion.
Abortion rights groups contend that he tried during his days as a lawyer in the first Bush administration to overturn Roe v. Wade. Roberts helped write a brief that stated “we continue to believe that Roe was wrongly decided and should be overruled.”
Pressed during his 2003 confirmation hearing for the appeals court seat for his own views on the matter, Roberts said: “Roe v. Wade is the settled law of the land. … There’s nothing in my personal views that would prevent me from fully and faithfully applying that precedent.”
But, this is as a nominee to the appellate court…….
Stay tuned…..
