Kentucky's busy senators, Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul

A good editorial in today's Courier-Journal:
Mr. McConnell wasn’t too busy (last) week to send a bizarre letter to commissioners of the nation’s major sports leagues, bullying them to stay out of promoting health care reform, which became law in 2010 and will be more widely accessible Oct. 1 through state health insurance exchanges.

...Mr. Paul found time last week to comment on last week’s landmark Supreme Court ruling striking down the federal law against same-sex marriage. Unfortunately, his comments included wondering whether the ruling could lead to marriage between humans and, well, non-humans.

We’d all be better off if Kentucky’s senators could stick to business — the business of working on behalf of Kentucky voters who elected them.
