Kentucky! One of the comical idiot Republican senators of the “Bluegrass State” is a stupid old prick who once played baseball in, who knows, the pre-Civil War era? For Kentucky’s special people, this is considered an “Ivy League” education in politics. But America’s worst, dumbest senator, Jim Bunning, barely kept his seat in 2004 — the year George W. Bush Jr. actually won the presidential election. Anyway Bunning, 77, said Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is about to die, because she is two years younger than he is, and she was successfully treated for early-stage pancreatic cancer and was back to work at SCOTUS today. Bunning finally apologized, just now. What a dick. [AP/Yahoo]

• RUTH BADER GINSBERG HAS CANCERS!: Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which kills about 95% of people. But! Her cancer was detected as early as possible, giving her a pretty good shot of living another 75 years. Treatment, however, will still be a terrible pain in the ass. Ginsberg also had cancer in 1999, in her colon, which also usually kills people. She is so tough. [AP]
