Bunning threatens to sue if anyone runs against him

That comedy routine known as Jim Bunning is at it yet again!

The Kentucky senator and former major league pitcher has grown increasingly frustrated with those who dare to challenge the notion that everything he does deserves sheer praise.

Since it's obvious Bunning is going to lose his Senate reelection bid if he's the Republican nominee again, party officials are starting to worry. It appears as if they've been taking him aside and saying, "Uh, Jim? We'd really like to keep this Senate seat. So we'd appreciate it if you don't run again."

But Bunning doesn't get the message. He's going to run again.

And he's threatening to sue if any other Republican dares to run against him in the primary!

Maybe Bunning hasn't threatened to sue any potential opponents per se. But he has threatened to sue the National Republican Senatorial Committee if they try to find a more winnable candidate.

Talk about an ego that's out of control - and a party that's self-destructing before our eyes.
