[Uncle Hal]

Babs is an idiot.

[Jaysun]

Well gentlemen, it seems that Box-whore is going to force us into battle. Roll out the nukes.

[FormerLib]

The Demonrats are employing a religious test for sitting on the Supreme Court in clear violation of our Constitution.

I do believe the roots of the tree of Liberty have become a might parched.

[clawrence3]

Agreed - but the insightful voters of my great State re-elected her just last year. Funny thing is that Babs never mentions the 500,000 minimum (slightly younger) women that die annually from abortion as it is now.

[RightthinkinAmerican]

"It means a minimum of 5,000 women a year will die."

As opposed to their preferred outcome - hundreds of thousands of dead babies.

[coloradan]

The Tree of Liberty died a couple weeks ago with the Kelo decision, although there are a few surviving cuttings that were scavenged from it. Somewhere.

[Thebaddog]

I believe that what's going on right now is Shaping the Battlefield. Bush is really tweaking these dopes.

[gathersnomoss]

That's what you get when you make a deal with the devil. Wake the ---- up Republicans.

[oolatec]

'Tis a shame she wasn't aborted. ;)

[nwrep]

"It means a minimum of 5,000 women a year will die.

So it is ok that 100,000 kids die every yaer, witch? Buck Foxer.

[clawrence3]

Luckily, we still have recourse left to us in the political arena. If we get another Souter appointed to the SCOTUS, I will never vote GOP again.

[thoughtomator]

A million plus at current rates.

[Desron13]

"It means a minimum of 5,000 women a year will die. So all options are on the table,"

This of course is utter BS.

[Mr_Moonlight]

threat to legalized abortion an "extraordinary circumstance."

The only "extraordinary circumstance" is that this bimbo is a sitting U.S. Senator

[coloradan]

Incidentally, 10,000 deaths/year is a very old number. A more accurate number would be 39 / year - but that wouldn't quite have the same propaganda value, now would it? http://www.straightdope.com/columns/040528.html

Babs is an idiot.

Idiot? I say she's stupid. I cannot believe how incredibly stupid. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid.

She is trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. More stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year.

Quasar stupid.

Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know.

I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me.

[Bahbah]

It means a minimum of 5,000 women a year will die.

Does she not realize how ridiculous this statement is? Oh, never mind. Dumb question.

[CitizenUSA]

No, Bush is likely to stick it to us conservatives by appointing a moderate, like Gonzales. I have absolutely zero confidence in Bush, as his conservative bona fides are non-existant.
