William proved himself with his immortal 1882 statement:
"The public be damned."
Thursday night during debate, Bunning defiantly walked in William Vanderbilt's footsteps. From the back row of the Senate chamber, Bunning responded to Oregon Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley's pleas to drop his objection with:
"Tough sh*t."
In fitting recognition, Republican Senator Bunning has been nominated to receive the prestigious "Tough sh*t" award, signified by a solid granite statue of his head proudly mounted atop a penis-shaped torso, biblically called a d*ckhead, facing to the rear while riding on the rearmost quarter of a male donkey, biblically called an ass. A generously sized mound of hard-as-granite ass-turds is delicately positioned beneath the ass of the ass -
which Bunning definitely is.
In voicing his Thursday night objection, Bunning declared:
"I'm trying to make a point to the people of the United States."
