The Knucklehead of the Day award

Today's winner is Washington Post Style writer Robin Givhan who has nothing better to do than criticize the clothing worn by the Roberts children at the White House this week when their father's nomination to the Supreme Courth was announced. The left in America has sunk to a new low, children's clothes aren't beyond criticism.

What the Democrats and the left could turn up learning is the American public, and much of their own base will find this type of attack outrageous. Most people despise anyone who attacks children, particularly those of the age of Jack and Josephine Roberts.

Some of Ms. Givhan's lows or contradictions

In a time when most children are dressed in Gap Kids and retailers of similar price-point and modernity, the parents put young master Jack in an ensemble that calls to mind John F. "John-John" Kennedy Jr.

The clothes also reflect a bit of the aesthetic havoc that often occurs when people visit the White House. (What should I wear? How do I look? Take my picture!) The usual advice is to dress appropriately. In this case, an addendum would have been helpful: Please select all attire from the commonly accepted styles of this century. (And someone should have given notice to the flip-flop-wearing women of Northwestern University's lacrosse team, who visited the White House on July 12 for a meet-and-greet with the president: proper footwear required. Flip-flops, modeled after shoes meant to be worn into a public shower or on the beach, have no business anywhere in the vicinity of the president and his place of residence.)
Dressing appropriately is a somewhat selfless act. It's not about catering to personal comfort.

But the Roberts family went too far. In announcing John Roberts as his Supreme Court nominee, the president inextricably linked the individual -- and his family -- to the sweep of tradition. In their attire, there was nothing too informal; there was nothing immodest. There was only the feeling that, in the desire to be appropriate and respectful of history, the children had been costumed in it.

Miss Givhan can't even make up her mind. Too dressed up or too dressed down. I have three words for this knucklehead- GET A LIFE!
