Amusing: John Roberts is NOT a Member of the Federalist Society

Funny that everybody claims he is (kos–okay actually a commenter, a commenter at Washington Monthly, the Washington Post, Democrats.com, NewsMax, etc.).

Everybody update your talking points.

Update: Here is a better Kos link that claims Roberts is a member of the Federalist Society. And here is the Washington Post article on the mistake.

    Bryan,

    I know, just about everybody has it wrong. I think everybody just assumed it, printed it and thus verified each others (false) assumption.

    O ye credulous fools! Know ye not that Roberts is a member of the Double Super Secret Federalist Ring of Nine, who only meet each Walpurgisnacht in odd-numbered years?

    But no, you have to fall for this blatant cover story. What next? You’ll believe Valerie Plame wasn’t covert? (Oh, wait, y’all DO believe that ….)
