Is Supreme Nominee Roberts a Cross-Dresser?

The NY Times and elsewhere reports that the man played Peppermint Patty in a school production of You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown. Note: He was a junior in high school at the time.

More details here.

If nothing else (and assuming he gets confirmed), Roberts could lend his pipes to Antonin Scalia's frequent show-tune singing.

Should cross-dressing as a butch lesbian really count?

He was at an all-boys school, so Lucy and Sally were probably also guys. I heard a rumor that Rick Santorum played Snoopy though...

Not that it matters much, but is Roberts' middle name "Edgar?"

When he is confirmed and up on the bench, I want to see him fall asleep, bang his head, and then yell "I'm AWAKE!!"

Senator Kennedy's first question to Roberts: "Wah wah, wah wah-wah-wah?"

[Franklin Harris]

Hey, I was a cross-dressing movie producer in my senior class play! Lay off!!!

(I played him as a cross between Ed Wood and Dino De Laurentis.)

At our all-boys school, we brought in girls from the all-female school up the road. But hey..whatever floats the man's boat.

At least he played a girl who was called "Sir" a lot.

Isn't "transvestite" the appropriate term?

...That's another point for the Bush Administration's record on diversity.

[Larry A]

At least he didn't play Lucy.

Hey, Roberts could pistol-whip an old lady in broad daylight and it wouldn't matter to the mighty righties; he's their boy.

(Don't get me wrong: at this time I'm inclined to support Roberts for the bench myself, but it's a conclusion I came to on my own, in spite of, not because of, the endorsements from the Sean Hannitys of the world...)

Peppermint Patty had a crush on Charlie Brown (a.k.a. "Chuck"); ergo, not a lesbian.

I think she was supposed to be sort of a beatnik.
