Iraqi Soldiers Donate To Hurricane Relief, Howie Dean Just Doesn't Like Roberts...

I always check in with OpinionJournal - Best of the Web Today , and here's a sample of today's fare:

Iraqi soldiers serving at Taji military base collected 1,000,000 Iraqi dinars for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Iraqi Col. Abbas Fadhil, Iraqi base commander, presented the money to U.S. Col. Paul D. Linkenhoker, Taji Coalition base commander, at a Sept. 5 staff meeting.

"We are all brothers," said Abbas. "When one suffers tragedy, we all suffer their pain."

That's $680 US, and a lot of money for those fella's. And $680 more than Great Britain has given.

And what would a day be without some reference to Howie the Dean?

Dean: My point is that John Roberts has a record. John Roberts appears to be a wonderful, decent family person, but, again, we get back to the question about whether you really care and whether you have compassion. It's not enough to say you care. It's what you've done.
John Robert's legal career has been about taking away every protection for young girls and women who want to participate in sports, for African-Americans and Hispanics, who want the equal same right to vote as everybody else, for taking away for women who believe they should determine what kind of health care they have, instead of having politicians do it.
His entire legal career appears to be about making sure those folks don't have the same rights everybody else does. That's probably not the right thing to do two weeks after a disaster, where certain members of society clearly did not have the same protections that everybody else did because of their circumstances. Americans are fair people and they want a sense of justice. I know Judge Roberts loves the law. I'm not sure he loves the American people.

Wow. I was unaware that the Judge took away all of these rights, and ashamed, ashamed I say, that because of this ignorance I actually believed he was a pretty decent guy. Pssst know what? Maybe he does hate women and girls and blacks and hispanics, and poor people, (checking to be sure I haven't left out a powerful group...gays? alright) and gays,but I really don't care if he loves me.
