IT’S CRAZY DAY AT MMA: JIM BUNNING IS AT IT AGAIN!

Read Time:34 Second

Whackpacker Jim Bunning, far from being cowed by the national exposure of his recent effort to hold up unemployment benefits for millions of laid-off workers, is back at it in the Senate.

The Kentucky Republican battled Democrats on the Senate floor Tuesday to block two nominations to relatively backbench positions — because he is opposed to a tobacco-related law passed by the Canadian Parliament (that’s right, the Canadian Parliament).

It’s a funny thing that Bunning has gone a little nuts just lately, I think it’s because of spring training for Major League Baseball, he’s itching to get out on the diamond, throw a few fast balls to confuse the opposition, then a few curve balls for good measure and when he his leading in the count, unleash his sinker. The old geezer thinks his playing baseball.
