GOP Values

Regarding Kentucky's re-elected Senator Jim No Live Debates Bunning (the guy about whom it was said his supporters didn't care that their man didn't know his own name, only that it had an R behind it)...here's a little flashback from before the election:

Sen. Jim Bunning's re-election campaign apologized Wednesday for what it said was "a joke" the veteran lawmaker made about his likely opponent this fall, Democrat Daniel Mongiardo, at a Republican dinner last month in Florence.

Democrats charged last week that Bunning had told the crowd at the Republican Party's 4th District Lincoln/Reagan Day Dinner that Mongiardo looked like Saddam Hussein's sons "before they were dead."

Mongiardo, a state senator from Hazard, is Italian-American.

Bunning's campaign denied last week that he had made the remarks. But on Wednesday, campaign manager David Young issued a one-sentence apology. "We're sorry if this joke, which got a lot of laughs, offended anyone."
