Is Obama's 'lady' an injustice to Kagan?

We'll let the bloviators debate whether Elena Kagan is liberal enough. We're more interested in that other "l" word attached to the solicitor general. You know, lady.

In announcing his Supreme Court pick Monday, President Barack Obama called Kagan a "trailblazing lady." Come again?

[ConservativeStatement]

Damn you to hell Kenny Rogers. /sarc

That’s no lady— that’s my Supreme Court nominee!

Show me a boyfriend.

[tnlibertarian]

Not an injustice, just inaccurate.

Nah, Kevin James is just pulling a joke on all of us....

So, the left was screaming all during Bush’s admin that you couldn’t have an opinion in favor of the Iraq war unless you were a veteran or active military.

Of COURSE they won’t be consistant and say that this “woman” can’t have any opinion nor can rule in any way on any case that affects families.

[PGR88]

They should call her “Trailblazing Pat”

[LadyBuck]

What’s the requirement of all Obama’s female appointments -

they all have to have azzes bigger than MEchelle’s?

We need a leader - we wound up with Sir Mix-A-Lot

[DallasSun]

I do not get the point. Of course she is a lady. What am I missing?

[Jewbacca]

"Show me a boyfriend."



Here it, er . . he . . or maybe she, is.

[ConservativeStatement]

Some consider the term “lady” to be an archaic description of females. They prefer “woman.” Lady is submissive, woman is dominant.

Now, it is time for Styx's song "Lady."

Did you apply that standard to Condi?

We don’t know.

[Old Seadog]

What is wrong with lady? Isn’t it just the female counterpart of gentleman?

[Jewbacca]

“Did you apply that standard to Condi?”

Well, she’s been dating Rick Upchurch (Denver Brocos football payer) for some time now. She apparently went through a couple football players in college, too.

No I didn't. However, Condi was never potentially in a position to affect every aspect of my life in a way that a SCOTUS justice would be. Kagen’s views on homosexual whatever, free speech, 2nd amendment, labor laws, immigration, etc, would also potentially change my country in ways that I deem inappropriate.

[DallasSun]

Well, that is just silly. But I so thank you for the explanation. I am 63 and am obviously out of the loop. To me she is a lady. Thank you.

[LibLieSlayer]

She is a *unt... a commie *unt... that is all.

So what? US Senators call their collegues ‘gentlemen’, and that doesn’t raise an eyebrow.
