Kentucky's Bunning again blocks jobless benefits

WASHINGTON – Sen. Jim Bunning has again blocked the Senate from extending unemployment benefits and health insurance subsidies for the jobless.

The Kentucky Republican objected Tuesday to a request by Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a fellow Republican, to pass a 30-day extension of jobless benefits and other expired measures. The measure would also extend highway programs and prevent a big cut in Medicare payments to doctors.

Bunning has been single-handedly blocking the stopgap legislation since Thursday, to the increasing discomfort of Republicans like Collins. Frustrated Democrats have been lobbing attacks at Bunning and his fellow Republicans for days.

Bunning needs to retire, immediately. Did you see the attempt by CNN to interview him? "Excuse Me!"

What a jackazz...

Damn...you didn't headline it with Algore's name to it, so it didn't have the same appeal.

I read somewhere he will not be running for re-election. I think that alone helps explain why he probably feels he has nothing to lose.

Yep. He is being replaced by a Teabagger. He is a bit pissed at the world right now.
