Bunning loses it, on camera, with ABC's Jonathan Karl.
Do the repugicans even know we're in a recession and that people are really suffering? On behalf of his fellow repugican Senators, Bunning is screwing over the American people. He blocked movement on the Senate unemployment bill again today. Now, he's also acting out. ABC News documents his erratic, angry outburst on camera and off:
Senator Bunning was even more expressive before the cameras arrived, using a little sign language.Bunning has handed the Democrats a gift. Now, if the Senate Democrats had any sense, they would force Bunning to defend this filibuster all day and all night. He's making people suffer. Make him pay for it.
When Senate producer Z. Byron Wolf spotted Bunning exiting his office, Bunning said, “I’m not talking to anybody.” When Wolf asked him to stay and talk to our cameras, Bunning walked toward the elevator and shot the middle finger over his head.
Bunning is clearly livid over the attention he's getting on the filibuster of the unemployment benefits. That means that Democrats should be jumping on this issue ten times harder than they already are. It's embarrassing Bunning, it's embarrassing repugicans. What would the repugicans do if they found an issue that so upset our Senators? They'd blow it up even bigger.
Lone senator blocks benefits for many
Repugican Jim Bunning of Kentucky stalls unemployment benefits for more than a million people.
Bunning hates America
Bunning hates Americans.
Bunning hates doctors who treat poor people.
Bunning loves "pooching" the country.
The Kentucky repugican is blocking a vote on the bill, which would also extend unemployment benefits and the COBRA subsidies that help laid-off workers keep their health insurance. This unusual turn of events (the bill in question has been in the works for some time and was considered a sure thing for passage) has brought to fruition a looming — but widely considered unlikely — pay cut that doctors have been screaming about for years.
