WASHINGTON -- Sen. Jim Bunning's re-election campaign conceded Tuesday that the senator used a TelePrompTer during his opening and closing remarks during a television debate with his Democratic opponent, Daniel Mongiardo.

Bunning campaign manager David Young said the TelePrompTer use was permitted under the terms of a debate agreement worked out in advance between the two campaigns. Mongiardo's campaign, however, called the device "an outrageous violation of the agreement."

"Jim Bunning is so out of touch with Kentucky voters that he has to use a TelePrompTer as a crutch to address their concerns," said Mongiardo campaign manager Kim Geveden. "Jim Bunning cheated in the debate, just as he is cheating Kentucky's working families."

Young countered that Mongiardo's campaign is trying to turn the debate into "a circus issue" to avoid a discussion about other issues.

1. Bunning is a dirty lying piece of shit.

I don't even live in the same state but I live close enough that I see his campaign ads. They are offensive, slanderous bull shit. In one ad he essentially accused Dr. Mongiardo of robbing old people's Medicare money. I hope he gets his due come election day.

2. The fact that he admits to cheating

should be enough to sink his ass.
