Bunning: Insult to injury

Washington Examiner

Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., raised a few eyebrows this weekend when he predicted that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would be dead within nine months. Ginsburg is battling pancreatic cancer.

Monday afternoon, the senator tried to make amends through a statement sent out by his office. But something tells us he still won't be on Ginsburg's holiday-card list. Bunning misspelled her name twice in the release.

“I apologize if my comments offended Justice Ginsberg [sic],” said Bunning.  “That certainly was not my intent. It is great to see her back at the Supreme Court today and I hope she recovers quickly. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family."

The ole hag needs to hang it up. Enjoy retirement, and family in your last days. Replace her with some new blood.

Sen. Jim Bunning makes Kentucky look like the most ignorant state in the USA. He is a vile representative; and the people should throw him out!!!

I've seen dogs put down that were in better shape than Bunning.
