Person(s) for the week: U. S. Senators Mitch McConnell, Jim Bunning and others.

This week's persons of the week are ALL the Senators who, either by outright vote against or by voting to prevent cloture, doomed the ill-advised and patently offensive immigration amnesty bill. Two of these Senators are our own Senators Mitch McConnell (on your left, who voted against cloture) and Jim Bunning (pictured on the right, who voted against the bill itself).
