I'm sure there's a rational explanation...

but then again, it might be time to call the men in the white coats....

Little green doctors? Were they little green men? Did they wield little green footballs?

:?

I think CNN just interrupted latest Michael Ware report in Iraq to tell us that Linsey Lohan farted.

Were the little green doctors gay? We haven't had a GOP gay-sex scandal yet today

Our dystopia is becoming more like Brave New World than 1984: it's not that important information is being suppressed... the people don't want to know important information. Or I dunno, maybe it's like Fahrenheit 451, where it's a little of both.

Well, the update explains a little bit. But it doesn't explain Bunning's odd way of describin' the incident.

I don't think Bunning wore a battin' helmet when playin' fer the Tigers and Phillies. Maybe he got beaned one too many times.

Jeez Nicolle. Sound bites out of context are for the Right wing. We don't need this to support the left's arguments.
Just saying.

Maybe he meant little green footballs.

Did anyone read the update? It's right below the video.

This is generally what Bunning was talking about.

Bunning recalled that while trying to give an interview to a Bowling Green TV station, he and his wife, Mary, were roughed up by people dressed as doctors. His opponent in that race - state Sen. Dan Mongiardo - is a physician.

"I had little green doctors pounding on my back," Bunning said. "It is not a question of being safe. I can defend myself.

In Canada, our healthcare system ensures that every man, woman and child has equal access to little green doctors pounding on our backs.

Bunning clearly has a persecution complex that would make a schizophrenic doubt his sanity. I'm reminded of these lyrics summing up right wing pathology from the awesome and unique British band The Gang of Four.

Outside the Trains Don't Run On Time

keeping up nostalgic
wants to own tomorrow
discipline is his passion
now is enough
outside the trains don’t run on time
he believes it’s not coincidence
he thinks the blood will run them down
home it’s no castle
he works his wife to run and fetch
order his obsession order order
discipline is his passion
now the stench is done
order his obsession
now the stench is done
outside the trains don’t run on time
he believes it’s not coincidence
he thinks the blood will run them down
home it’s no castle
he works his wife to run and fetch
order his obsession
the trains don’t run on time
the scoundrel discipline is his passion
now stench is done
outside the trains don’t run on time

If you want a little context, read about his paranoid ramblings during the 2004 campaign.

Just saying.

Well duh, Bunning was talking about some doctors who protested him and falsely characterized it as a physical assault. He threw his wife in the mix for good measure. We get it. Right wingers can't tolerate citizens expressing their opinions to politicians. They view themselves as unimpeachable great leaders, not as our representatives.

Hmm, I don't know much about the man, thank goodness, but I'm wondering if the "little green doctors" could have been small people wearing green scrubs?

LongTooth's picture

Let's keep things in perspective.

Sure, Bunning is nuts. And yes, he lives (and will die) neck deep in the blood of those GI's he has condemned to the Iraq slaughterhouse.

But he's also a 224 game winning Hall of Fame pitcher.

Things always even out in the end.

Just goes to show, sociopaths don't need steroids to become high achievers.

He's got the Big A(lzheimer's). I don't know if that's official but it's very obvious.

Do I feel pity for him? No. His handlers and his party should have known better than to put a man obviously afflicted with dementia up for election. And the voters of Kentucky should have known better than to elect him. But likely the media should have known better than to have given him a free pass on his mental issues.

Giving Bunting the benefit of the doubt that he hasn't totally lost his marbles, I'm assuming "Little green" was a half-joke on "Bowling Green".

Essentially "a swarm of annoying doctors from Bowling Green that wouldn't leave him alone tapping him on the back trying to ask questions" is the way I interpret that.

I live in Northern Kentucky, just outside Cincinnati near where Bunning lives. There have been persistent rumors since 04 that Bunning is suffering from dementia. His aides have kept him away from public appearances and even kept him away from a live debate last time around. Looks like its true, here's lost it.

Just sitting here giggling like a fool. Gawd, that was funny.

My father has Alzheimer's. He says stuff like that all the time. Yep, Bunning's got a brain drain. I agree with Slippytoad. I don't feel sorry for him.

By the way, Slippytoad is one cool-ass name.

Being from Ky and having followed Bunning's exploits it is very easy to tell when listening to him that: he can't get off the right wing talking points; when he does he is a lost ball in high weed(s); takes his marching orders from Mitch McConnell; became a Senator because he is a famous baseball player; if he moved to DC and stayed he would raise the average IQ of Kentucky; he is dumb as a brick. Rant over.

my only saving grace in washington in my lifetime is john yarmuth, i helped put him there.

everyone else, from previous rep ann north(r)up, to both senators have been local embarassments.

speaking of which, during that senatorial campaign, mcconnel and his toadies (because jimmy still thought that it was a 1 run game and he was still pitching in the 9th) insinuated time and time again that dr. dan was "limp wristed". last year i had the opportunity to meet senator mcconnell at a lecture at the elaine chow auditorium at the mcconnell center at the university of louisville (i may not like the man's politics, but he was the closest person in high nationwide politics that i had met to that point, so yes i'm going to say hello). got his autograph, shook his hand. my handshake isn't all that firm, but i thought i was going to break his damn hand off. that's when i finally figured it out- repubicans project their own infirmaties to the demcrats just to seize power for themselves and their special intrests.

here's to ditching mitch in 08.

He's just another reality-challenged wingnut - of course he sees things the rest of us just don't have the "powers" to see. He's just gone a tad further down the rabbit hole.

What is more interesting is the way the media leaves out the comment about the green doctors pounding on his back. Like they are trying to protect him from damaging himself.

Bunning is a complete and thorough embarassment. This man is nothing more than a partisan bully. He is an obsequious, sycophant, lap-dog, rubber-stamp for anything and everything reprehensible about the Bush regime in particular and the Repugnant party in general. I eagerly count the days until his term is over in 2010.
