He tweets: Read 4 yourself about why Jim Bunning is an embarrassment 2 the Senate, 2 Washington, & 2 politics http://bit.ly/d27UXT.

At least someone at CNN gets it.

2. He is and has been for years, but I am curious about something.

Just tuned into the Senate Debate.

Is Bunning there to defend his view? Or is he going to chicken out and hide?

He caused all of this turmoil.

The only silver lining here is that Bunning is even an embarrassment to his own party.

3. And Bunning tweets back

"Tough shit."

The man doesn't care anymore, if he ever did. He's counting the days until he's done with the Senate and can get paid his pension without having to answer to a bunch of lesser individuals who count for nothing in his mind. Then he'll have lots of time to watch Kentucky basketball games and do guest appearances on the Fox Major League Game of the Week, telling us everything he knows about baseball and politics. Then during the second pitch, the Fox sycophants will thank Mr. Bunning for his time.

4. Bunning is no different than any other republican. Slimy Reppublicans all have the same

corporate fascist elite ideology & agenda - Fuck the workers!

Workers who worked many years that paid into a fund, if a worker does indeed loses their job that there is a safety net.....

This unemployment being forced on the workers by the same greedy corporations who incompetently put us in this economic down-slide while the corporations profit, it's the workers who pay for the corporate scams, incompetency & greed, in jobs & benefit losses as well as the corporations stealing of our tax dollars.

Worker are only peasants, peons, pawns, disposables in republicans eyes, worker deserve nothing and should just shut the fuck up, and be happy that republican corporations even give them a job....

If republicans had their way workers would be forced to work for no pay, slaves just barely kept alive....there's always more workers to choose from.

This is republican ideology exposed - Republicans despise workers, hate unions that give worker a united voice, disdain unemployment insurance or any social program & safety net.

But if the corporations and rich want more tax cuts or subsides (corporate welfare) incentive programs & bailouts....the republicans come running to help the rich & corporations demanding legislation pass to help them....

Again republican Jim Bunning is no different than any other worker hating, elitist, corporate republican asshole....

If they are republicans they vote, follow and fight for republican ideology....which is simply corporations rights and privileges over workers rights & needs.
