Last week Bruce Lunsford's handlers took him to a gas station in Richmond, Kentucky for a quick photo op.  What he told reporters would be four hours’ work turned into slightly more than an hour before he left.

Not only did Mr. Lunsford demonstrate a shocking lack of understanding about Kentucky's universities (calling Eastern Kentucky University the "Eastern Kentucky Campus of U.K."), he also demonstrated that he apparently doesn't pump much gas.  Check out the video below.

Tomorrow, Lunsford takes his show to Mayfield, Kentucky.  Bruce's stunts, photo ops, and opposition to increasing American energy production aren’t helping to lower gas prices. 

The simple truth:   the Obama-Lunsford energy plan is wrong for Kentucky.  Unlike Bruce's DC buddies, Kentuckians don't think high gas prices are helpful.  And unlike Bruce himself, Kentuckians believe we should get more of our energy resources here at home instead of begging the leaders of Middle Eastern oil kingdoms for relief.

With Mitch McConnell, Kentuckians have a Senator who is fighting for real change beginning with a modern energy policy that focuses on producing more American energy and creating more American jobs to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.  Bruce Lunsford?  He is standing around getting his picture taken.

More than 10,000 people have signed a petition supporting Senator Mitch McConnell’s energy plan.
