Okay, seriously. We detest Jim Bunning. Awful hack of a man. But come on.

Jennifer Moore needs to get her priorities straight with press releases and email blasts.

She just sent out an email excoriating crazy Senator Jim Bunning for paying his daughter a measly $20,000 a year to bust her ass on his campaign. Read what we had to say about this in a story earlier today.

Why the hell are we paying for email blasts over something so trivial? Why are we wasting our time? We’re all about raking people over the coals for being awful and doing stupid crap– even if it’s for political gain. But what the hell? This is such a non-issue. Seriously– and we’re dirty liberals saying this!

Subject: Another Ethical Strike-Out for Bunning
From: Jennifer A. Moore, Chair (Kentucky Democratic Party)

I was reminded today of why the citizens of this Commonwealth need to begin working now to replace Republican United States Senator Jim Bunning, who is up for re-election in 2010.

Bunning has an illustrious history of embarrassing Kentucky with his outrageous behavior and The Lexington Herald-Leader has reported yet another example of it.

Among all 100 members of the Senate, Jim Bunning was exposed for paying the most money in salary or fees to a family member. He has paid his daughter, Amy Towles, over $138,000 to keep track of campaign paperwork.

This information surfaced in a new report by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, whose executive director pointed out, “When you give money to Jim Bunning, is that what you’re giving it to, so he can pay his family?”

This type of behavior is unacceptable from Kentucky’s elected leaders. Help the Kentucky Democratic Party bring ethics back to our U.S. Senate delegation by contributing today. You can be sure your donation to the KDP will be used to Turn Kentucky Blue in 2008, and let Jim Bunning know that 2010 will be the year Democrats replace him.

Sincerely,

Jennifer A. Moore
Chair, Kentucky Democratic Party
