That makes her <em>8</em>. I've seen a few eight-year-olds I wanted to drown, but this seems a bit harsh. 25th trimester? That makes her 8.

In the abortionist's lexicon she's just a "parasite" that can/should be easily sucked from the womb of the body politic. Or if you prefer Obamalamadingdongs stimulus musings; her diagnosis should be a matter of scrutiny to ascertain if it is financially viable to maintain her life. Wouldn't want to waste precious resources on some aged useless feeder when someone younger with much greater chance for a good outcome is deprived now would we? Still, Bunning is an idiot.

Hint: It doesn't generally happen when the president is a leftist Democrat and the majorities in Congress make him look like a moderate.

But the real culprit is the life-long sinecures for justices. Our legal system peculiarly resembles French aristocracy, in this regard. When I was involved in designing Kent county courthouse (DE), I was stunned reading survey of existing conditions of the site: on one side of the street there was an existing old courthouse, on the other - mansions (not mere houses) occupied by hereditary judges families. They got born, grow up in Yale, come back and become as judges - just like their grandfathers. At least in France it was possible to purchase a "patent" of a nice cushy workplace. More democratic.

I hope karma, in the form of being voted out of office in the next election, hits him bad. Did people boo him for saying that? I hope they did. Wow, that’s really low.
