Senate Democrats have posted a YouTube video, rounding up examples of Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY) being praised from the Senate floor by other Republican Senators for the hold he has placed against passage of the unemployment benefits extension.
The video, which is clearly designed to counter any possible perception that Bunning might be acting alone, features video of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), all describing Bunning as demonstrating “courage.”
It should be noted that two of those three Republican Senators occupy leadership positions. Cornyn is the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and Sessions is the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
