UnBorkable, You Say?

Folks who've been defending nominee John Roberts have claimed that his affable personality and superb pedigree makes him "unBorkable", meaning that Democrats could not portray him into an evil hobgoblin and thus defeat his nomination. However, David Adnesik wondered when the term was used first.

The answer, he found out, was that it was first used in 1990...in reference to David Souter!

Hmm...I may like unBorkable judges...

Never heard of Carleton College? My cousin went there, many years ago.

No nominee us unBorkable, and no issue is immune to partisan politics. The magic word "abortion" has already been mentioned. What more of a Pandora's Box do we need?
