The real meaning of flubs

As most of you know, Chief Justice John Roberts flubbed a couple of words when administering the oath of office to President Barack Obama on Tuesday. What most of you didn't know is why. Sure, most of us probably assumed it was merely a jumbling of words. But, John Nichols of the Capital Times in Madison knows the truth. It's because Roberts doesn't take the Constitution seriously. Nichols does assure us that he doesn't think it's a grand conspiracy (although I wonder if he was trying to convince himself), just that Roberts doesn't have a whole lot of interest in the Constitution, much like the President who appointed him.

So, there's a little truth for your Sunday.

Oddly enough, no one takes John Nichols seriously. So he'd know.
