Did Ya Hear the One About

Sandra Day O'Connor "rips into GOP"? Lol.

Okay, it seems this nobody lady lawyer who grew up in Texas couldn't get a good job lawyering back in the 1950s so she went to Germany with her husband and worked there for a spell. Then she returns to the States where she gets involved in Arizona politics and finally an appelate judgeship in the late 1970s.

Then she walks into a gay bar and says … I mean ... then Reagan and Poppy Bush in 1981 appoint her to sit as one of the highest judges in the land, and the first woman on the SC! From there she pretty much waddled and fuddled the neocon line, quacking in the Ducked Election 2000 for George, son of Poppy, who got Ms. O. her first real job.

Excuse was she retired because her husband has Alzheimer's, and we all know neocon women resign because their families come first (like Karen Hughes did when her 16-year-old high school son needed her back in Texas). O'Connor's age has nothing to do with it Bubba, most SC judges die on the bench or leave in their 80s and she's only 73 or so.

Quack news today is O'Connor's "voice is dripping with criticism" toward the GOP – that is, according to Rawstory, NPR and Ms. Totenberg's reporting. The lady judge refused permission to have her dripping speech broadcast though.

But we have "someone" who did hear the speech, and "someone" to give interpretation as to what and who are being "ripped into", and tell us Ms. O'Connor is ripping into the GOP and "warning" us of dictatorship, because Ms. O said, among other hilarious one-liners (such as using the commie scenario), that "It takes a lot of degeneration before a country falls into dictatorship, … , but we should avoid these ends by avoiding these beginnings." Her "surprise" resignation last year must have surprised even her.

And then the bartender says: "How dare she retire knowing a lot of degenerates and a dictatorship would choose her successor."
