The votes have been counted, the results are in. And just when I was beginning to think that the players on the Republican side of the aisle couldn’t get any more despicable (John Boehner), loathsome (Mitch McConnell), deplorable (Jim DeMint) or (add your own adjective and Republican name here; if you need help, contact me and I will be happy to supply you with a very long list from which to choose), the intellectually fallow voters in the State of Kentucky have seen fit to replace the ignoble Jim Bunning with Tea Bagger Rand Paul.
I leave it to you to decide what this says about the (voting) majority of Kentuckians. I would suggest, however, that in the days following his victory in the primary, Paul won the election as soon as he publicly professed his misgivings with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, implying that he would not have voted for it.
At least Bunning had a good fastball. Paul, on the other hand, is the guy who would maintain that having an umpire in the game of baseball is unnecessary. After all, if corporations can be trusted to regulate themselves, doesn’t it follow that the pitcher and catcher could be counted upon to call balls and strikes fairly?
Chock up one for the Tea Party.
