Last week, researchers found several memos from the summer and fall of 1984 in which future Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, working as a Reagan White House lawyer, argued against sending presidential thank-you notes to Michael Jackson for his charitable works. But it turns out this was just the beginning of what appears to be the young lawyer's concerns about the star. Three new memos uncovered by Post reporters show Roberts described Jackson as "androgynous," "mono-gloved" and a balladeer of illegitimacy.

This could have passed for an unbiased story, until I got to the bolded part above.

"Don't vote for Roberts because he thinks Michael Jackson is a bad influence on young people (oh the irony). But, to be fair, it's not just Jackson he hates - he doesn't like any entertainer."

Only one James Bond?

Yes, stupid ass, there is only one James Bond. Read the books.

Did John Wayne serve in WWII?

No, he was rejected from service due to an ear problem.

NARL and the others of that ilk are looking to discredit Roberts with the rock-ribbed right wing (who supposedly revere Big John)

Whatever the Post's intentions, I had a better opinion of Roberts after reading the article.
