It turns out that the Senator from Kentucky has a lucrative part time job selling his autograph due to his prior status as a Baseball Player with the Detroit Tigers.

Well, looks like the "fans" back in Detroit, the City that gave him his chance, want nothing to do with him this weekend.
The owner of The Gibraltar Trade Center, told him to stay away;
The Gibraltar Trade Center has canceled an appearance by former Detroit Tigers pitcher Jim Bunning at a weekend sports card show after the Kentucky congressman voted against the loan package Thursday night to help Detroit's auto companies.
Bunning is a former Hall of Famer who was a popular draw at the shows. He was set to sell autographs this weekend at the center on Eureka Road in Taylor.
"Being a business owner in Michigan for over 30 years, I simply cannot support anyone who, in my opinion, votes against the economic well being of our great state," said trade center owner James Koester.
Robert Koester said his father's decision to drop Bunning came within 20 minutes of discovering how he voted on the bailout package.
"In view of what happened yesterday, it is not in our interest or anyone's interest (to have him come to the show)," Robert Koester said.
The owner of the Gibralter Trade Center is probably on the far right and a Republican voter. Remember, this is the same place that has Gun Shows almost every month. All that aside, he knows whats bad for America is bad for him!!
