In a case of Oh Damn, A Day Late and a Dollar Short, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor is having a long overdue attack of damned if I know.

Okay, so after being the fifth vote to hand George W Bush the Presidency, Justice O’Connor thinks maybe, just maybe, the high court should not have taken the case.

Looking back, O’Connor said, she isn’t sure the high court should have taken Bush v. Gore.

“It took the case and decided it at a time when it was still a big election issue,” O’Connor said during a talk Friday with the Tribune editorial board. “Maybe the court should have said, ‘We’re not going to take it, goodbye.’”

No shoot, Sherlock.  She needs to pack her butt with gunpowder and fire herself on up here with the rest of us.

Now I know she’s doing her mea culpa tour, but I just ain’t buying her snot slobbering apology.

“Obviously the court did reach a decision and thought it had to reach a decision,” she said. “It turned out the election authorities in Florida hadn’t done a real good job there and kind of messed it up. And probably the Supreme Court added to the problem at the end of the day.“

Yeah, Honey, you and Katherine Harris made quite a team.  Hooter toters everywhere still moan in shame at the mention of those two names.  Katherine Harris siding with the Mary Kay Cosmetics lady and you siding with Scalia.  Curses on both of you.
