Now That's Journalism!
The AP lead says:
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court pulsed with retirement speculation Friday, with rumors focusing first on the ailing chief justice, then the oldest member, and even the tiniest justice.
Tiniest?
Next came hints that the real retirement would be that of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the petite opera lover President Clinton put on the bench in 1993.
My question is: if Justice Ginsberg should retire, would President Bush be compelled to nominate another short person to her seat?

Short opera lover! Don't you be segregating out the opera lovers just because you prefer jazz.
