BigboreshooterRuth Bader Ginsburg confuses Lindsey Graham for a woman
http://www.foxnews.com/politic...raham-for-woman.html Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg erroneously labeled South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham as one of the "women of the Senate" on Monday.
Ginsburg's misstatement came in her remarks upon accepting an Allegheny College award given to her and the late Justice Antonin Scalia for civility in public life. Hours after Justice Neil Gorsuch was sworn in to replace Scalia, Ginsburg took to the podium in calling on lawmakers to work together, but mistakenly identified South Carolina's senior senator as a woman.
"I thought back to the 1993 confirmation of my nomination to the court—the hearing was altogether civil, the vote was 96 to 3. For Justice Scalia, the vote was unanimous," Ginsburg said. "Let's hope members of Congress, the members that Allegheny College has already honored — Vice President Joe Biden and Senator John McCain, the women of the Senate, Senators Dianne Feinstein and Lindsey Graham — let's hope that they and others of goodwill will lead in restoring harmonious work ways."

joel9507To be fair, she confused his name, not the Senator himself. Yeah, after several dozen centuries in DC, she ought to have known better...
Not saying I did this the first time I heard of Sen. Graham, but I will say the first time I heard "Lindsay" used as a first name, it was the actress playing "The Bionic Woman."

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Yes, being from the Upstate of SC, and having to hear Sen. Graham for years, I can see how she would be confused...or correct.
Either way, I can't fault her for that one.

I think Lindsay's a little young for senility. Lunacy is more apropos.

46and2I suspect she confuses lots of things, more and more each day. I wonder if we'll see an upswing in such stories. If only.
