Bunning hypocrisy

You can't make up this shit, people. You just can't.

We all know that right-wing Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Kentucky) is now under fire for making a profit off his "nonprofit" foundation.

But it turns out that back in 1995, Bunning (then of the U.S. House) launched a war against nonprofits, who he baselessly accused of abusing their nonprofit status. His aim was to silence nonprofits who disagreed with him.

You read that right: Bunning accused nonprofits of abusing their status - then he abused his own foundation's nonprofit status.
