#1 My favorite one is when he asks: "Does this brief say what you want it to say, what I mean does it say nothing at all?" I hate to disagree with Ann Coulter but I think this guy is a keeper.

#2 What? Roberts scoffed at 'equal pay'? That heartless bastard!

But wait! If we actually read the article and not just the headline, he was sneering at the idea of 'jobs of comparable importance'. And how do we determine comparable importance? The categories are set by some Committe of the Proletariat for Job Categorization and the Promotion of Economic Justice and Equality (CPJCPEJE), of course. An idea definitely worthy of sneers

Gawd, I'm starting to hate the newspapers.

#3 I have no problem with equal pay for equal work in the proper situation (like the same job for the same employer)but to try and equate disimiliar jobs as being of " equal worth to society is just plain nuts.

#4 SteveS, you win the prize. That's exactly the way his opinion was explaned last night. Trying to equate bulldozer operator with a secretary just doesn't get it. His opinion is a woman bulldozer operator and a man bulldozer operator should get the same pay providing they have the same experience and seniority.

#6 agreed - equal JOBS = equal pay...anything adjudicated by committee? Economic suicide and only the lawyers get rich

#7 Oh come on, you know you can't base things like this on -logic- or -common sense-. Those things are just so unfair to people who get what they deserve instead of what we say they should have. Logic is just so male-centric that it should be banned.

/sarcasm off.
