Rep. Jim Bunning – Classy!
Written on 27 February 2010 by MichaelThe Senate adjourned Friday without approving extensions of cash and health insurance benefits for the unemployed after a lone senator blocked swift passage due to his insistence that Congress first pay for the $10 billion package.
Retiring Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Kentucky, led a spirited Senate debate with Democrats over the issue — at one time cursing at another senator on the floor. Bunning said he doesn’t oppose extending the programs — he just doesn’t want to add to the deficit.

So he’ll vote to fund war but not for extending unemployment benefits. Nice. Well at least he respects the Senate chamber… Wait… Oh well *again*, maybe he and Senator Joe Wilson can get together to teach a class on manners.
Thank god this guy is retiring.
Every time I look up I get a little more jaded.

Is this all newscasters are now? Good hair and jawlines reading whatever is written for them without asking questions or apparently without even thinking? Edward R. Murrow is spinning in his grave.

I wouldn’t let this lady run my vaccum cleaner but 54% of Republicans think she can run the country?! Here’s hoping Mr. Frum is right! (Yes, I know he’s only talking about Florida in the linked-to article, but larger implications should be self-evident.)
