ok, so i found this photo and quoted text at bully magazine online......
Senator Jim Bunning
Party: Republican
State: Kentucky
Nickname: The Rube
'For those fans of American baseball, I know what you're saying - hey, wasn't there a guy who used to pitch for the Detroit Tigers named Jim Bunning? Yessir, it's the same person. Bunning was a pro-ball payer for 17 years and was even the second pitcher in history to record both 1,000 strikeouts and 100 wins in both the National and American leagues. What does that have to do with politics?
Well, not a goddamn thing. But only in America are we dumb enough to believe that just because some goon can throw a fastball that he can also make sound legislative decisions. It worked for Steve Largent and Jack Kemp, so why not for Jim Bunning. And what proud American would not shed a tear when Mr. Bunning stands up during a debate on the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and states, "Mr. President, this whole debate reminds me of what the great philosopher Yogi Berra once said?."
As disturbing as that is, it's what one would expect from a rube like Bunning. We're not expecting Socrates-like rhetoric on the state of the nation and its people. No sir, he's a Republican hack all the way'.
i say we don't vote for him because he is paranoid and/or senile......the business of asking for fulltime security after he visited a quilt museum in Padacah because 'there may be strangers among us'...........the ads would have us vote for him because he fathered 9 children and 35 grandchildren.......wow...now that is a reason why we should return a senile guy to the senate....maybe he can father some more..............no mention if any of them require public assistance...........
