More nominations for the "Full of more crap than a Christmas goose" contest
I missed Supeme Court Justice Ruthie Ginsburg's remarks to the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy, a new organization of "progressive" lawyers. Ruthie apparently jumped at the chance to illuminate her activist judicial attitude for her fellow radical tinkerers:

The Supreme Court is looking beyond America's borders for guidance in handling cases on issues like the death penalty and gay rights, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Saturday.
...
"Our island or lone ranger mentality is beginning to change," Ginsburg said during a speech to the American Constitution Society, a liberal lawyers group holding its first convention.

(Some asshat) Justices "are becoming more open to comparative and international law perspectives," said Ginsburg, who has supported a more global view of judicial decision making.

Ginsburg cited an international treaty in her vote in June to uphold the use of race in college admissions.

I wonder if she also led 'em in chorus of Kumbaya? I've noted this perversion previously, but it's always nice to hear it from the horse's er, mouth.

However, Ruthie's got some tough competition from Her Heinous:

U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton inadvertently insulted hundreds of thousands of people who have purchased her memoirs during an appearance on the "Tonight Show" last night, telling host Jay Leno that many of her fans had never bought a book before purchasing her tome.

"It's terrific," she said, describing the crowds that have flocked to her book signings. "They tell me it's the first book they have ever bought. It's wonderful."

Pure bull, but what a fantasy! Some possibilities are positively enticing.

• Maybe they thought they were buying decorative doorstops and ended up in the wrong store
• Maybe they thought her book was a religious icon and would keep away AIDS (or at least herpes)
• Maybe they wanted to scare birds away from the garden and noticed her scary mug on the cover
• Maybe they're really, really stupid and planned to look at the pictures?
• Maybe they're really, really twisted and planned to do weird things with household objects and small furry animals while looking at the cover?
• Maybe they planned to sell them on eBay?

So how does the "smartest woman in America" explain this phenom?

An incredulous Leno erupted in laughter. "They're an adult and this is their first book? Doesn't this say something about our educational system?"

"Well, it might say something about their income," Clinton countered.

Puhleeze!
