Now pitching against the bailout: Jim Bunning

A programming note: Sen. Jim Bunning of Kentucky will appear on cable TV tomorrow (Thursday) to explain his opposition to the Senate’s housing bill, which he has called ‘unusually bad.’ The senator’s office reports he will be a guest on CNBC’s ‘Squawk Box’ at 8:15 a.m. Eastern (5:15 a.m. local) and on CNN’s ‘Issue #1’ at noon Eastern, 9 a.m. local time.

Bunning does not strike me as a reader of blogs, but he is listening to somebody: ‘It turns out that the American people don’t like the idea of bailing out banks and their neighbors who gambled on home prices,’ he said this week. ‘The voters understand what is going on in Washington, better than we do.’

I look forward to a full report on the senator’s Squawk Box appearance in the comment section from one of you early risers.
