Historic moment

[fpb]

An important section of the community is for the first time represented on the Supreme Court of the United States of America. For the first time in history, a proven perjurer has been made Associate Judge. This is surely a progressive step, and we look forward to the first murderer. Or murderess.

And how! She did not just perjure herself, she perjured the Clinton Administration and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and perjured them in front of the Supreme Court. http://rightwingnews.com/2010/06/elena-kagan-writes-the-partial-birth-abortion-language-for-the-american-college-of-obstetricians-and-gynecologists-filibuster-her-updated/ I imagine that the Obama administration had to pay attention to all those tens of thousands of perjurers, demonstrating and sending in petitions on behalf of their girl. You have to admit that hers is a really thoroughbred kind of perjury.

Basically I agree with you, but v. minor nitpick--really thoroughbred kind of perjury. The word you need here is purebred--thoroughbred specifically refers to a horse registered by the Jockey Club. My new kitty Monk is a purebred Cornish Rex, but he can't be a thoroughbred. /end pedantic nitpickiness for today.
