Hilarity ensued after it appeared that 84-year-old Supreme Court justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg called Republican Senator, Lindsey Graham one of the “women of the Senate”:
@johnramos91 @anthony_helal "Arial Sharon was a strong woman and an inspirational leader" – Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Mitt Romney's "Binder Full of Women" included Lindsey Graham. (At least, Ruth Bader Ginsburg thinks so.)

Bader Ginsburg delivered remarks at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania on Monday as she accepted the Prize for Civility in Public Life, honoring her and late Justice Antonin Scalia.
Despite the claims that RBG appeared confused about the gender identity of Senator Graham, Steve Aaron, a spokesman representing Allegheny College said Ginsburg’s comment was misinterpreted. In an attempt to backpedal-I mean-clarify, Aaron explained Ginsburg was not referring to Lindsey Graham as one of the “women of the Senate but “mutually exclusive terms” — referring to Graham and Feinstein as award winners from 2013 and the phrase “women of the Senate” to refer to the award winners of 2014.
We’ll let you be the judge. Roll the tape, Mister…uh…Miss…

“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.”-Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Senators Dianne Feinstein and Lindsey Graham. Not “Senator Dianne Feinstein and Senator Lindsey Graham”. Everyone’s title preceded their name. Why not, “Senator Lindsey Graham”? Some RBG fan girls and boys are claiming that Ginsburg intentionally threw this in as a slight of sorts to Graham. The verdict? Sorry, but I’m not buying it. Should she be fired for not using the correct gender pronoun? After all, isn’t it “hate speech” not to refer to an individual as their preferred pronoun? I can see why poor Ruth is confused, though. As educated as she is, hanging out with Nancy Pelosi and this business of he/she/ze/xe/zie and “singular they” is enough to drive anyone into dementia.
Skillyboo says: She, along with Justices Kagan and Sotomayor, make republican voters wish their republican senators weren’t so willing to vote for their appointments to the Supreme Court. Their good faith gestures assume democrats will do the same but, time after time, conservative nominees face an inquisition that slanders them. The monumental shift to republicans since 2010 has sent a more conservative group into elected office nationwide but the entrenched ‘old guard’ like Graham still cling to the myth that the other side will abide by the same old traditions.
GWB says: She probably wasn’t being senile – at that exact moment. But she certainly has been going “off the reservation” lately. She needs to toddle herself off to retirement.
(And, of course, the mistake would be easy to make, anyway. Lindsey could never be confused with a paragon of testosterone or of having a stiff spine.)
Scott says: Didn’t she say she was moving to Australia? what happened to that?? ooh, right, that was a promise made by a liberal…
GWB says: Only if she is required to swim with the rays once a day – as close as possible… Steve Irwin close……….
Otherwise, I love Oz too much to inflict her on them.
