Poll Shows Kentuckians Prefer Their Senator Not Be a Senile Old Coot

Bad news for any geriatric, senile, death-of-Supreme-Court-justice-predicting, Republican-Party-suing, Twitter-not-understanding, and just plain nutty old men who want to be elected Senator from Kentucky in 2010.

The voters aren't behind you...

A new survey released Wednesday paints a bleak 2010 picture for Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning (R), who was already considered the most vulnerable Senate incumbent up for re-election.

The automated survey by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling gave the embattled Senator a 28 percent job approval rating with 54 percent disapproving. Only 38 percent of those surveyed held a favorable opinion of Bunning.

To make matters worse, Bunning loses badly in a hypothetical match-up with Kentucky Lt. Governor Daniel Mongiardo, despite the fact that everyone knows Mongiardo is "limp-wristed" and "looks like one of Saddam Hussein's sons."

We believe survey respondents were unfairly harsh toward Bunning, having failed to recognize that the poor man has had "little green doctors pounding on [his] back" all this time.

Folks, ever since the events of November 11th, Bunning has been protecting Americans via satellite debate appearances from undisclosed locations, and this is the thanks his home state gives him??

Don't they know he was profiled in Time Magazine?

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
