Senator apologizes for Ginsburg remark

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. - Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning apologized Monday to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for saying he believes she could die within a year from pancreatic cancer.

At the same time, his planned bid for a third term in 2010 may have gotten tougher with one of Kentucky's top Republicans saying he has not ruled out a possible run.

Bunning, a Hall-of-Fame major league pitcher, who has no medical background, <span style="font-weight: bold">said during a speech Saturday that Ginsburg has &quot;bad cancer. The kind that you don't get better from,&quot; </span>the Courier-Journal of Louisville reported. <span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;Even though she was operated on, usually, nine months is the longest that anybody would live&quot; with pancreatic cancer</span>.

&quot;I apologize if my comments offended Justice Ginsberg,&quot; the two-term Kentucky junior senator said Monday in a statement, which misspelled Ginsburg's name. &quot;That certainly was not my intent.&quot;
