As a Kentuckian, I'm torn between my acute embarrassment at having Jim Bunning be one of my Senators and my relief that he's so incredibly ineffective. But he is providing lots of drama in the runup to the 2010 elections.
Never a big fan of the press (or anyone else, as far as I can tell), he's really lost it now.
From the Lexington Herald-Leader's website
U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning is declining to release results of an internal political poll conducted in February. The irascible Hall of Famer swore and told reporters on a conference call Tuesday that "it’s none of your G.. d... business" what the poll results showed.
Nothing like working the press, Jim. My theory -- too many fastballs returned to his head.
As a progressive, I'm less than thrilled with the stable of potential Democratic challengers in KY, but this should be an easy pickup in 2010.
