By Betsy Rothstein on Mar 01, 2010 03:44 PM Most senators amicably allow reporters onto elevators dubbed "Senators Only." Not Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) . ABC's Jonathan Karl had a bristly exchange with Bunning just outside one such elevator in the Hart Building -- Bunning was in the elevator and Karl was trying to get in there with him and pose a question about the senator's blocking a bill extending employment benefits. Bunning wasn't having it. Not only did he forbid Karl from entering the elevator, but, as reported by Politico's Glenn Thrush , gave an ABC producer, Zach Wolf , the finger. (In our photograph we see Bunning's use of his pointer finger.) Bunning has been in a foul mood as of late. Some may remember his "Tough Sh-t" utterance on the Senate floor last week.
