Why is Sen. Jim Bunning blocking bailout oversight nomination?

A block by an anonymous senator has been placed on the nomination of Barofsky to the position that would manage oversight of the bailout. After much investigative work by bloggers and journalists, it appears that the likely senate blocker is Republican senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky.

Why? Who twisted his arm to get him to do this?

Why would ANY Republican who's really concerned about the future of our country think it a good idea to block oversight of hundreds of billions of taxpayer money?

He should be made the poster boy for flagrant Republican contempt for well-managed government.

And the next time ANY Republican tells you that they're in favor of good government, laugh in their face and let them know you won't being buying that bridge to nowhere.
