"Our resident psychiatrist...suggests Bunning fits the broad parameters of being mentally unstable."

[Bluebear]

...Bunning may have been following Senate rules but he arbitrarily took a “pay as you go” policy measure he voted against and helped defeat and then had the gall to invoke this phantom ghost on a unanimous consent vote to extend the unemployment, et.al. measure.

Trying to explain Bunning’s behavior has elicited prime time entertainment hilarity in hypocrisy. We’ve all heard it. He voted on numerous occasions in favor of the Bush administration unfunded tax cuts, Medicare prescription plan and two wars. Reasonable people ask, “Why now?”

Our resident psychiatrist, Dr. Clarrisa Pinkola Estes, suggests Bunning fits the broad parameters of being mentally unstable.

It is possible we have a 78-year-old psycho in the Senate that we can point to with some confidence.

Only Bunning could stand at the Senate lectern and admit he preferred to let Rome burn by watching the Kentucky – South Carolina college basketball game without being rushed by men and white clothes whisking him off to a mental institution.
