Gas prices were big topic of the day.

"Sheiks" follow McConnell's Democrat opponent, Bruce Lunsford, to "thank" him for his energy plan

Senator Mitch McConnell (R) Fancy Farm speech - "these liberals love high gas prices"

Secretary of State Trey Grayson (R) Fancy Farm speech - "official drink of the Obama campaign is Kool-Aid"

Secretary of State Trey Grayson - pre-Fancy Farm speech at GOP rally "...disappointed to read that Obama was coming...would love to see him without a teleprompter facing a crowd of bitter voters who cling to their guns and religion..."

Democrat candidate Bruce Lunsford heckled by "sheiks" yelling "Thanks Bruce!"

Senator Jim Bunning (R) speech - lampoons Harry Reid's "coal makes us sick" comment and "legions of environmental whackos"

Don’t know if you want to include something like this on the pings you’ve been using on energy posts, but you might enjoy them yourself so I’ll ping you. :-)

That quote on that one video should be that “disappointed that Obama is NOT coming...”

Despite the fact I respect Bunning’s baseball record, he is a drunken ass.

His brilliant idea was to take all of the state teacher retirement funds (that were doing fine) and roll them into Social Security. He then would have the SS credit state teachers with Social Security credit. This was his solution to the Social Security crisis.

I have many, many issues with teachers, but their retirement organizations provided an excellent alternative to Social Security.

Thanks a lot, Jim.

Apparently there was a rumor that Obama was going to make it...don’t think there was one regarding McCain.

That wouldn’t have been one of Bunning’s best ideas, certainly. I’ve never heard him be called a drunk, though.

I met Jim Bunning a couple of times during the 2004 elections. He comes across as being very smarmy, a real pompous ass. Could be wrong about him, but I doubt it.

You’re not. However, he is a good conservative senator. If I voted on personality he’d never get my vote.
