Jim Bunning, Kentucky's junior Republican senator, is the lone holdout for a measure stalled in the U.S. Senate that would have extended for thousands of out-of-work workers emergency unemployment benefits that expired Monday. Jim Bunning has held up the extension since Thursday and, according to this CBS News video, will "object every time because (the Senate) won't pay for this."
Many angered by Jim Bunning's objections have taken to the Internet to vent their frustrations on Bunning's continued denial of the extension. This iReport video, posted to CNN by user Thetalesend, begins with the simple but concrete statement, "For shame on you, Jim Bunning."
