OMG - Sen Jim Bunning R-Kentucky just

[jillan]

said he will not support Bernake's nomination
to replace Greenspan!!!!

Oh no - dissent within the Repug party-
maybe they will try to filibuster?

:evilgrin:

[LSparkle]

1. Isn't this a done deal? Greenslag retires today ... ????

2. Fuck 'em, the old fart.

Ironic; I love baseball, but on any of my all-time fantasy teams, given a choice between him and, say, Brett Tomko, I'll take Tomko.

So sue me; I let politics interfere with my sports. :)

[AX10]

3. I wonder why?

Is it because he's a Jew?
Is it because he's good friends with Paul Krugman (fellow Jew)?
Is it because he's from Princeton ("left wing acadamia")?

Gee, you never know with these "Christian" Fundamentalists.

6. wonder if there will be anymore dissent?

ha - this could be interesting.

I didn't know Bernake was Jewish.
Greenspan is, so that shouldn't be an issue.

4. Bunning is nuttier than a fucking fruitcake

But even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

5. Now that we have all those phone numbers in speed dial frm Alit Nomination

Let's all phone-attack the GOP in opposition to Bernake, and tell them that Jim Bunning convinced us!

7. haha - don't tempt me.... n/t

9. Bunning doesn't deserve the support...

...he's a jackass through & through. If there would have been 1 more month of campaigning in his last election, he wouldn't even be in office. He is out of touch, disinterested & a perfect example of why politics shouldn't be swayed by name recognition (ala Aynold).

10. Bunning is a bastard, I won't lower myself to communicate with him

or any of the assholes who work for or support him.

[orwell]

11. Bunning?

...This is as much as an endorsement when one of the "certifiables" won't vote for you.

Bunning isn't fit to be dog catcher.

12. Jim Bunning may be a mentally deranged man.

There was quite a bit of discussion in his last Senate race that he might be suffering some form of dementia.

He was a terrific pitcher for the Phillies but he's a fool as a Republican senator.
