The clothes presented by the Robert's family looked very smart and traditional. This was obviously intended to send out the message for promoting traditional values. However It can be argued that the children's outfits suggested practicality and comfort.

I usually wear seersucker suits from May to Sept. Either blue, mint green or light brown. It is a rare day that at least one total stranger does not admire either my outfit or me.

Do you think Mrs. Roberts could give a few good grooming hints to the Prez' kids? I'm sure they're nice girls but their clothing is sooo tacky. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Laura asks if they can't find something more suitable than the stuff they put on.

Yeah, it's generational. But I'll be glad when this generation of young people learns to dress. Thank you, God, my kid thinks khakis and a tucked in shirt with a collar are de rigeur. I never said a word: it was his idea. He tops it off with a Yorkshire cap, of all things. That's *not* a complaint, it's amazement.

His older sister, otoh, thought denim was formal attire.

Doug – I know how you feel. I have some pictures of me as a child in my photo album that would give Ms. Givhan the screaming faints.

I may have to post one of them.

So let me get this all straight…Judge Roberts childern point to some as yet unseen character flaw because of the way they are dressed and all the while Paris Hilton is both tasteful and sets an example that we should all wish our childern to aspire to.

My only problem with the Roberts family is the fact that they brought back many painful memories of the times when my childern when that age embarrassed me. As a result of just that I have decided to be against his confirmation. Much like I don't want to be reminded of my time in Vietnam, I don't want to be reminded of all those times when my young childern did things like that to me.

But wait he is nominated to the Supreme Court…we will never see them again…..As Gilda Radner said…never mind.

Good grief, their clothing had nothing to do with it. She couldnt handle it because they looked like the perfect WHITE, TRADITIONAL, ALL-AMERICAN family. And that was absolutely unacceptable!! So being the nasty bitch she is, she trashes kids and ridicules the parents.

I dont know how all of you feel, but im beginning to like this Judge Roberts already.

Well, perhaps if Ms. Givhan were a bit more evenhanded in her criticism, I might find it humorous. UNfortunately, she isn't.

Apparently, only Republicans among politicians are scorn-worthy to her.

Have we in the VRWC lost our senses of humor? It was an entertaining column, not meant to make a political statement. People commented on John-John and Caroline back in the day. You're being pundiculous
