Ex-Phillies Pitcher Also In Larry Craig’s Corner

It’s not just noted comedian Arlen Specter who’s supporting embattled GOP Senator Larry Craig. No, apparently everyone in the Republican party who’s spent any time in Philadelphia values comedy as much as I do. Case in point: Ex-Phillies pitcher Jim Bunning:

Sens. Ted Stevens of Alaska, Jim Bunning of Kentucky and Michael Enzi of Wyoming voiced their dissatisfaction with the response of GOP leaders in the chamber, according to one senator who was at the luncheon and two aides familiar with the meeting. Stevens, whose home was recently raided as part of a federal corruption probe, stood up to say it’s wrong to prejudge these matters, the sources said.

He was joined by Sen. Jim Bunning of Kentucky and Sen. Michael Enzi of Wyoming, who also “wagged their finger” at the leadership, in the words of one of the aides.

Yes! This is probably the best thing Bunning has done since his perfect game.
