		<description>Uh huh. I thought so.

It seemed to me that this was being whipped up by something else, it didn&#039;t self-justify the fire being turned on it, far as I could tell.&lt;a href=&quot;http://politics.theatlantic.com/2009/02/republicans_face_recruiting_challenge.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; I was right.&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>And with him having done so, would it be  an appropriate point in time to start the conversation about &quot;manufactured rage&quot;?</description>

		<description>In the mid sixties, Jim Bunning pitched a no-hitter against the NY Mets.  At the press conference after the game, Jim was congradulated by all.  His response, &quot;they are still the big leagues&quot; referring to the last place Metropolitans&quot;.

Four years later, the Mets won the World Series and Jim was a mop-up pitcher for the Pirates.  Jim was at that time I believe the only pitcher to pitch no-hitters in both leagues.  Later Nolan Ryan more than duplicated that feat.

Sensitivity has never been Jim&#039;s forte.  He should apologize to Justice Ginsburg and her family, but he won&#039;t.</description>

		<description>I won&#039;t defend this myself, but with the average age of the members of the Supreme Court at 68 and rising, the only way to talk about developments at the SCOTUS are thinly veiled references to mortality.  But it&#039;s an ugly situation, so we should keep the veil on.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I just thought it was a tacky, unkind thing to talk about in that manner in a public forum.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That&#039;s as may be, but if that&#039;s the case, it most certainly doesn&#039;t account for the leve of ire being heaped on it, then, does it? TP&#039;s reaction would be more consistant with the kind of perceieved offense I described.

And Anderson, in your efforts to overstep, be careful you don&#039;t walk right past the subject at hand. There&#039;s a major difference between defeding what he said, and arguing that the reaction to it is overblown.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The implication being placed on this by places like Think Progress...(Which in reality is nether thought nor progress) ... is atht Bunning is wishing evil on the woman.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>James;

The implication being placed on this by places like Think Progress...(Which in reality is nether thought nor progress) ... is atht Bunning is wishing evil on  the woman.  Sorry, I don&#039;t buy it, for a couple reasons.

First... and I&#039;m sorry about this...  Evil&#039;s already visited her, apparently, and anything firther would be a duplication of effort at least. 

Secondly, and from a national perspective of greater import, is the idea that as bad as she&#039;s been from a constitutional standpoint, any replacement for her will be even worse, given the current administation, and the current Senate. I can hardly imagine Bunning wishing for that.

What&#039;;s going on here is TP (Yeah, the intials fit well, don&#039;t they?) is pissed because Bunning spoke the plain unvarnished truth of the matter.</description>

		<description>James, via &lt;a href=&quot;http://thinkprogress.org/2009/02/23/bunning-ginsburg-dead/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ThinkProgress&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://chattahbox.com/us/2009/02/16/ruth-bader-ginsberg-home-after-successful-surgery/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; seems to contradict the notion that Ginsburg will be pushing up daisies any time soon (from pancreatic cancer, anyway):

&lt;blockquote&gt;According to doctors, her cancer has not spread, a significant worry after finding a small tumor, which has turned out to be benign, located on the 75-year-old’s pancreas. It has since been removed.

All lymph nodes proved negative for cancer, and no metastasis was found,” her doctors released in an official document, one of many that Ginsberg has had created to keep the public up to date on her condition, and so her ability to return to work.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The article also appears to be more recent than the few you cited.

Granted, who knows what&#039;s gonna happen with this cancer scare, but Bunning&#039;s classless prediction and other dire warnings don&#039;t seem to be accurate.</description>
