Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY) indicated that he thinks Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be dead within a year.
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.
Now he’s apologized.
I know, cancer’s not anything to joke about. I’ve had friends die from it. I’ve had family members die from it. Heck, I was even misdiagnosed with it one time.
Cancer is scary stuff.
But it’s not always fatal.
Still, I help but wonder if Ginsburg will be on sombody’s Ghoul Pool list next year.
Hey Basil, leave Sen Bunning alone.
Not only is he my Senator, he is not a socialist (unlike McCain and many others) and against the spendulus and the TARP. And he is in the Hall of Fame. And he has a perfect game.

I once had one of my enemies die from it. Not only that, but she was cremated, so I never got a chance to break her jaw in with my bare hands. Nobody should ever have to go through such a horrible experience.
My mother-in-law died from pancreatic cancer and when she was diagnosed she was informed that there were very few treatment options and there was very little hope for her. I realize that cancer is not always fatal. Unfortunately, with this type of cancer it often is.
I am a 20 year cancer survivor. I had the good cancer. Very treatable. Pancreatic cancer is a bad cancer. Almost always fatal. I believe in the power of prayer and miracles. However for a genocidal mrdering monster that has subverted her oath and thrown the constitution into the toilet in favor of her opinion, almost every day….. I don’t believe God will intervene in her favor.
Its far more likely that a very deep, dark and painful place in hell is being prepared for this monster.
Forget the cancer people. Its a stage one, which is the most likely cured or managed. Moreover that woman looks like a good breeze could blow her over which could do her in long before the cancer does. She is plainly in poor health, I mean look at her! Gaunt, skinny, pale, frail = not healthy. She is a vegan or at Death’s door, or both. Either way The Obama will have a vacancy soon, whether she resigns becasue of poor health or she expires. Barry will have his nomination and hopefully the geldings in Congress on the right will Bork whomever is nominated if they do not pass the smell test of US. Make no mistake, this is the next ideological beachhead we need to storm in the coming months, because Ginsberg is on her way out. Elvis is ready to vacate, and we had better be ready to mount an offensive on the highest court in the land. The fat is in the fire.
Cazart!

Jim is the lest publicized republican cousin of Biden. he is constantly sticking his foot in mouth. hopes are that this will drive a nail in his re-election campaign and we can get a candidate that is not the butt of local jokes.

I’m praying for America and our elected officials.
I suppose I can stretch that to include ‘appointed’ officials as well.
“God? Whatever, OK? Thanks. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Whew! that was tough, but I meant every word of it.
Not many people know this but she and Janet Reno are in the Guinness Book of Records for being the only two women who spent extended periods of time alone with then President Clinton….but were at no time in any danger of being sexually harassed.
I don’t know why an apology was in order. He didn’t make a joke. He didn’t wish for her to die. He made a prediction.
He was also a very good pitcher for the Tigers and Phillies. First man to throw a no-hitter in each major league, if I recall correctly.
If Ginsburg goes and kicks the bucket, they’ll of course have to appoint another judge to take her place. Could Obama pick anybody worse? Wait…. as I think about it, William Ayers isn’t all that busy right now.
Well, I normally do not wish ill on anyone, even the leftist, but …
I have to take a moment and reflect that rbg is the worst justice on the court next to suter. This leftist C word has sent this nation toward the path of destruction several times and continues her crusade against America even in her illness.
I can think of only one philosophy that deserves such a terrible disease and the agony associated with it. If only it were contagious and wipe out half of the leftists in D.C. But in the immortal words of Dennis Miller — Thats just my opion, I could be wrong.
Sorry…..my mistake….was Ruth Buzzy.
BTW: you are doing great job Frank Baysil J.
I don’t get why he has to apologize. I mean, do we all have to pretend like she’s 18 to be PC or something? Let’s just say he’s right in sinc with the actuarial tables, eh?
