Jim Bunning Blames Mitch McConnell for His Own Impending Defeat

As Politics Daily's own David Stacey is reporting, Sen. Jim Bunning spent yesterday trashing his fellow Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell, using derogatory terms he normally reserves for the news media.

Bunning called McConnell "selfish" and blamed the minority leader not only for losing 15 GOP Senate seats over the past two elections but also for losing 4 additional seats in the 2010 election, which-- unless Bunning knows something that we don't-- hasn't happened yet.

Quoth the sage of Cooperstown...

Do you realize that under our dynamic leadership of our leader, we have gone from 55 and probably to 40 (Senate seats) in two election cycles, and if the tea leaves that I read are correct, we will wind up with about 36 after this election cycle.

While we're impressed by Bunning's psychic ability to see the future (eat it, James C. Dobson!), we have to wonder which four Senate Republicans he thinks are going down 18 months from now. Because as we consult our trusty polling guide, it looks like the most vulnerable member of the entire body is...

Well how do you like that? Jim Bunning! By a longshot.

But just because Bunning is going to get crushed in 2010 doesn't mean we've heard the last from him. Let's just say if you think Jim Bunning ripping Mitch McConnell in a newspaper is hilarious, just wait until he's doing it on Judge Judy!
