Roberts Yes, New York Times No

You know what really gets me about this story?

It's not the fact that, apparently, Supreme Court nominee John Roberts did something highly honorable by defending gays arguing against the medieval Texas sodomy law before the bunch that would be his peers if he is confirmed.

No, what really tears it for me is the way the supposed "newspaper of record" reported it. They used the Repug catchphrase "culture wars" in what is supposed to be a news article, and then quoted the OxyContin addict to find out how this latest development will play with the Repug right-wing fundamentalist base.

(Uh, I can give you a hint myself on that one. How does ANYTHING that deviates from their jackbooted notions of how the world is supposed to be play with them?)

Un-freaking-believable!
