Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) just keeps giving in his conference calls with home-state reporters. Today, Mr. Bunning “continued to lash out at his home-state colleague, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell over his Senate leadership, calling him a ‘control freak’ and said he would be better off politically without his support,” The Scorecard reports.
“If Mitch McConnell doesn’t endorse me, it could be the best thing that ever happened to me in Kentucky,” Bunning said, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
McConnell, for his part, declined to endorse Bunning on “FOX News Sunday” last week and hardly mentioned his Kentucky colleague at the state’s Lincoln Day Dinner earlier this month.
