Wow...talk about a head-fake...

I've got to hand it to team W, they really knocked the MSM ass over teakettle on this one. They fooled 'em all. It wasn't until after 7:30pm (an hour and a half prior to Bush's announcement) that they were finally able to figure it out.

No pre-emptive press conference for Teddy or Chucky Schumer or Harry Reid or People for the American Way or NARAL or...anyone. Just the President with his nominee at his side. My fellow Americans...meet Mr. Roberts.

From Bush's speech:

In my meetings with Judge Roberts, I have been deeply impressed. He's a man of extraordinary accomplishment and ability. He has a good heart. He has the qualities Americans expect in a judge: experience, wisdom, fairness, and civility. He has profound respect for the rule of law and for the liberties guaranteed to every citizen. He will strictly apply the Constitution and laws, not legislate from the bench.

What's not to like, Mr. and Mrs. America?

Michelle Malkin has a good round-up thread. As does Captain Ed. Hugh Hewitt is dancing a jig.

See also: Confirm Them!, RedState.org (sorry Erick) and NRO's Bench Memos. All will no doubt update throughout the evening.

Got a lot of reading to do. Oh, BTW, "Wedding Crashers" was awesome. Go see it!
