Bunning: Ginsburg will be dead in nine months
(title edited by Mod for spelling)

Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.), already in political trouble for 2010, didn’t help matters any over the weekend.

At a Lincoln Day Dinner speech over the weekend, Bunning predicted that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would likely be dead from pancreatic cancer in nine months, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.

The paper reports that Bunning reiterated his support of conservative judges, saying “that’s going to be in place very shortly because Ruth Bader Ginsburg…has cancer.”

“Bad cancer. The kind you don’t get better from,” Bunning went on. “Even though she was operated on, usually nine months is the longest that anybody would live after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.”

News of his comments comes as Bunning continues to take fire from the very Senate campaign committee tasked to help his re-election. PolitickerKY, a Kentucky-based political website, reported that state Senate President David Williams met with officials at the National Republican Senatorial Committee to explore a primary campaign against Bunning.

The report suggested that operatives of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell were working to assist Williams in a potential primary campaign -- and that McConnell's pollster is commissioning a survey to assess Williams’ viability against Bunning.

Man, there's bad taste then there's BAD TASTE.

This guy is scum.

Let us hope
1. There is a recovery
2. Barring a recovery that she passes quickly, and without pain.

Often #2 is the best hope.

To quote the television classic Beavis & Butthead, "that exceeds the limits of good taste."

I now hope that Ginsburg gets better, adn that this guy ends up in a case that the supreme court finds him guilty.

The thing that gets me is not that he said it, but he was thinking it. He must be the only person I know who hasn't known anybody with cancer.
