Summary: Cenk explains how (R) Senator Jim Bunning's "principled stance" on blocking unemployment benefit extension is laughable. Not only is Bunning in favor of benefits IF they're coupled with tax breaks for corporations, but he's also shown in the past that he's in favor of extending unemployment benefits...depending on which party is in power.

PS---TYT Network has officially launched our second show -What The Flick?! - which is hosted by Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), Matt Atchity (Rotten Tomatoes) and Cenk Uygur ("The Young Turks"). Roger Ebert (http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/11/post.html|who compared Mankiewicz to a 'drive by shooting victim' because of 'At The Movies'>) sent out a tweet linking to the announcement.

5. Republicans would rather see 10 people go hungry that 1 get a free lunch

I tried to get unemployment once... in 1992. Even in a recession finding a job is less work than being on unemployment. That is if you can get on it in the first place. My experience was that the system is set up to make it as easy as possible for them to deny you, but only after you've gone through the whole belittling experience of applying.

6. It was never about unemployment...

He was pissed at McConnell for kicking him to the curb. This was just his pissant way of getting back at everyone.

Anything else, was just some BS to try & justify his mean-spirited, nasty tantrum.

7. K&R. How did this nut job get reelected?

I remember when he broke the rules by using notes when had a debate with himself... :crazy:
