Senator Bunning - what a jerk

Seems he caught something from Senator Frist - the ability to diagnose medical conditions long distance.

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. -- U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning predicted over the weekend that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would likely be dead from pancreatic cancer within nine months.

During a wide-ranging 30-minute speech on Saturday at the Hardin County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner, Bunning said he supports conservative judges "and that's going to be in place very shortly because Ruth Bader Ginsburg … has cancer."

"Bad cancer. The kind that you don't get better from," he told a crowd of about 100 at the old State Theater.

"Even though she was operated on, usually, nine months is the longest that anybody would live after (being diagnosed) with pancreatic cancer," he said.

Even if it is true - that she has only 9 months to live, he's a Grade A jerk for spouting off in public like that.

Latest news about Justice Ginsburg.

What judge are you talking about?
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is no conservative, so call me confused.

Okay...you are confused.

Read the original post instead of just looking for what you can blast me about...

Reread the OP. The only judge mentioned is not a conservative.

No blasting intended in my last post so thanks again for yet another insult.

This from the earlier link:

Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) told a party gathering in his state over the weekend that Ginsburg had "bad cancer, not the kind you get better from" and predicted she would not live longer than nine months. He was warning the crowd about the kind of justice Obama might appoint in her place.

Bunning apologized yesterday "if my comments offended Justice Ginsburg" and said it was "great" to see her back at the court.

Bunning is the one who is confused. He was a much better ball player than Senator.

If he thinks that the current occupant of the White House will nominate a Conservative (with a capitol C) to the Supreme court, he is truly delusional.
