A Bunning Reprise?

Politico speculates that as the short-term extension of unemployment and other benefits gets ready to expire in a two weeks, Sen. Jim Bunning might get all "irascible" and demand once again that the government find the money before passing the bill.

It's a pity that Bunning no longer attends his caucus meetings. This would be a really great time to let Bunning be Bunning: focus his innate irascibility on the health care monstrosity's return to the Senate. As Vice President Joe Biden clarified, it's a "big f--ing deal."
