ABC's Jonathan Karl attracted so much attention Monday when he confronted Jim Bunning as the doors of a Senate elevator were closing that he was sent back to the corridors of power to pester the Solon some more. Neither CBS nor NBC deemed Day Two of Bunning's objections to a month-long $10bn extension of funding for the unemployed worth an assignment. Karl kept at it, apparently more concerned about appearances than the substance. "Are you concerned about how this has played out?" he asked, in front of another elevator bank. "No, I am not concerned, except for the people." Karl was not just targeting Bunning. He seemed to think that the majority party was a pretty cynical bunch too: "As Democrats complain about Bunning's behavior, they are thrilled with the political fallout here, happy to be fighting an unpopular senator over a bill that has got a lot of popular support."
