I know. Bunning is a treasure! I know he's getting up in years --- 78? --- but I thought for certain he'd be replaced by a conservative Republican that everyone would proudly support. I don't remember the date of KY's primary, but I seem to recall it might be next month... yikes.

Yeah, he’s 78. I wish he was a quarter-century younger. Unfortunately, I could tell he was starting to fade a bit in his last run (where he only barely beat Mongiardo in a race that should’ve been a wide margin), one reason he was urged out this year. Trey Grayson was regarded as his protege, but with the never-ending slime machine of Junior Paul’s, you’d think he was the protege of Bill Clinton, Van Jones and George Soros. The primary is May 18th.
