Big Dicks and Bigger Dicks

Republicans spent the last few days running from Sen. Jim Bunning (KY), who was earning a ton of notoriety for doing what he could to screw over people who are unemployed.

“This is one senator,” said Senator John Cornyn of Texas, a chief political strategist for Senate Republicans. “This does not represent the position of the caucus.”

That's just bullshit, the only reason that Cornyn threw Bunning under the bus was because the grumpy old bastard was becoming an embarrassment to the party of Hoover.

Bunning, of course, was not the only douchebag who was against trying to help those who are down on their luck in this recession. There were 19 of them. And one of them, of course, was Cornyn.

Bunning isn't done with his dickishness. He is now pulling a Shelby: Bunning has put a hold on every presidential nominee.

Does the party of Hoover have any point at all, other than to demonstrate that they are a collection of jerks?

UPDATE: Cornyn was supporting Bunning's filibuster until it became a political embarrassment.
