The Washington times ^ | 7/21/10 | Julie Hirschfeld Davis

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Richard G. Lugar, Indiana Republican, said Wednesday he'll vote to confirm Elena Kagan as a Supreme Court justice.

Mr. Lugar is the second in the GOP to announce he's breaking with his party to back President Obama's nominee to succeed retiring Justice John Paul Stevens.

Mr. Lugar said he carefully followed Ms. Kagan's confirmation hearing testimony and the debate about her nomination, including recommendations from his constituents, and concluded that she clearly is qualified to serve on the high court.

Lugar has been senile for years ~ but remember all the loot Byrd brought home? When the Republicans take over the Senate it's brand new federal bridges all around and my goodness does Indiana need a lot of bridges.

They had a hurricane hit Indianapolis once (yeah, they get that far), and it rained so much the flooding ripped out 100,000 culverts and bridges.

There are large countries that don't have that many!

Lugar cares about those culverts and bridges, and similar public structures ~ airports (Indy needs some new terminals), elevated highways (I69 is under construction through the flood prone SW part of the state), and so on and so forth.

One more trip to the trough.!

Lugar so desperately wants to be a member of the ruling class. "Can I come to your cocktail party, please, please? I'll be a good boy."

Lugar is a loogie on the pavement.

Where were you in 1977?
Guess where Dick Lugar was.
That's right.
The Senate.

Yes, it gives us that 200-mile zone, but read other parts and you will see that it is yet another attempt at the redistribution of wealth on a global scale.

Of course it is ~ that was the whole point. On the other hand it doesn’t matter one way or the other to us.

What part did you like best, Sen. Lugar?

--Her hatred for the military?

--Her support for Shariah Law?

--Her antipathy toward the 2nd Amendment?

--Her support for partial-birth abortion?

--Her support for cloning embryonic tissue?

--Her reliance on foreign law for statutory interpretation?

Which? Many of us would like to know.
