More hilarity from America's best-loved lizard: as usual, Senator Jim Bunning has absolutely no use for the press.
Or his Republican brethren Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn.
Or anyone.
Asked whether he thought McConnell and Cornyn were actively recruiting candidates, which they have denied, Bunning left the answer open to interpretation.
"Where in the hell have you been lately? They brought in David Williams," Bunning said. "Is that active?"
Bunning also claimed McConnell's chief of staff somehow forced the meeting between Williams and NRSC officials.
"It doesn't need an answer, it's too obvious," Bunning told a reporter. "If you're not smart enough to understand how obvious that is, that's not my problem."
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Bunning is, however, starting to rethink his options as this happy little thing called reality starts to set in. Maybe, just maybe, he'll give in to the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, and not run for reelection after all.
But after stressing repeatedly that he will run again in 2010, Bunning seemed to leave the door open to not seeking re-election on Tuesday, saying that he will make a decision on whether to stay in the Senate race within the next few months.
Previously, Bunning has charged that Cornyn and McConnell have been working to recruit a primary challenger to run against him, and he repeated those charges Tuesday.
“When they recruit someone to run against you in a primary, it puts doubt in people’s minds that you are going to finish the race,” Bunning told the Kentucky press. “Therefore, they’re waiting and waiting and waiting. It’s almost a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
Come on, Jim, you're not just going to give up and let the bad guys win, are you? You get back in there and show Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn who's the boss of you!
