 Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 9:18 pm Post subject: Bunning - the gift that keeps on giving |
 |
|
| Quote: | Sen. Jim Bunning, the Kentucky Republican who held Senate hostage over an unemployment bill earlier this month, is now causing trouble for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
Bunning is blocking the confirmation of two trade nominees because, according to an aide, the USTR hasn’t done enough to defend Bunning’s home state against a Canadian antismoking law that “unfairly discriminates against Kentucky-grown tobacco.” |
Yes, that's right. Bunning is blocking the confirmations of two Obama nominees because he believes Obama is now somehow responsible for the Canadian legal system.
Oh, my quote was from the WSJ.
Jim Bunning - the long term effects of too much Kentucky Bourbon?
