Tom Coburn: 'Good Thing I Can't Pack a Gun on the Senate Floor'
By David

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) said Thursday that he was only joking when he suggested that he might shoot lawmakers over U.S. financial problems.

At a town hall event in Langley, Oklahoma Wednesday, Coburn pushed back on criticism of President Barack Obama and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, placing the blame for tough economic times on "a class of career elitists" and "cowards."

"It's just a good thing I can't pack a gun on the Senate floor," he said, according to The Tulsa World.

Coburn's remarks came less than a month after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), who had suffered a gunshot wound to the head in January, briefly returned to Congress.

1. He's just everywhere today, wall-to-wall offensive bullshit. I hope he's

planning to throw his hat in the ring. What's one more clown in the car?

2. Did his doctor change his prescriptions?

He is acting really odd.

3. Coburn is an insane homophobe

Obama has long touted their good working relationship and friendship:
"I would also seek out people like Tom Coburn, who is probably the most conservative member of the U.S. Senate,” Obama said at a campaign event in 2007. "He has become a friend of mine.”

5. Might want to reconsider that friendship, Mr. President.

6. Stop your whining you professional leftist...

:sarcasm:

He's just being "bi-partisan"....

I don't care how "reasonable" a person can be for the other 99% of the time, if 1% of their time is spent being a frothing-at-the-mouth homophobe/racist dickwad, we are not going to be "friends". EVER.

4. He apparently also wants people to pay for healthcare with chickens, & has racist thoughts to share

7. Maybe Alzheimers is in the beginning stages for Coburn.

8. Isn't he the one who landed an airplane on a closed airstrip?

I can't remember which one of the Republican Senators that did that, but it seems like it was ol' Tommy Gunz here.

9. Isn't that a necessary qualification for being a Republican politician?
