Wendi Thomas is Not Alone


Here is a transcript of a conversation between radio host Hugh Hewitt and Fort Worth, Texas, Star-Tribune columnist Bobby Ray Sanders. Sanders said, "... the people who didn't want Harriet Miers, namely those on the right, didn't think she was enough of a zealot, and would probably want somebody who would be as comfortable in a white robe as in a black robe." He clarified that slightly to mean people "...who want to talk about turning back the clock."

Hewitt pressed Sanders to name some of the judges who might fit that description, but Sanders dodged the question every time. He repeated the charge, but never identified anyone.

It's not a long read, but it goes to show what an empty-headed fool Sanders -- a paid daily print columnist -- is. He has no specifics, only slogans, cliches and stereotypes to peddle. He just makes an inflammatory charge and is content to let it hang there, unexamined and unproven. That, apparently, is enough for him. Forget all that research, fact-checking, sourcing, detailing and documentation he might have heard about somewhere along the way. That's for lesser beings.

Not for pompous, overly self-regarding fools like Sanders.
