I call on the distinguished gentleman from Illinois, Senator Durbin to take his foot out of Sen. Coburn's ass

Today the pride of Springfield, Illinois, Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL), called out Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) on the United States Senate floor for asking that the American people pray that a US Senator not be able to make it to the late night/early morning vote on health care reform. Despite Durbin's request that Coburn come out the Senate floor to explain his comments, the cowardly Senator from Oklahoma went into hiding.

1. Too bad Coburn wasn't there or it could have been interesting.

3. Durbin would have been level headed

but Coburn would have been down right nasty.

My parents, years and years ago, called Repukes like Coburn
"Black hearted Republicans".

2. Thanks. I've been waiting for this.

4. Let's pray that COBURN can't make it for the vote.

10. I've often said

be careful what you pray or wish for, as it could come back to you. People like Coburn tempt the gods too often!

17. In the name of all that's holy, make it so. Amen

[Cass]

5. He also mentioned the republicans were blocking having this vote at a reasonable time

instead of 1 am. I wish Durbin's statement would be played on the cable news channels...it was very good.

Thank you for posting this!

9. And they're doing this, knowing full well how hard it is on Sen Byrd.

Nasty bastards. Nothing like "compassionate conservatism". Of course, if anything happens to Byrd, they'll be knocking each other down to get to an open mic to offer their prayers for their "friend" from WV.

Coburn's a member of the "Family", that lowlife pos.

[Arkansas Granny]

19. I wish they would play it also, especially after hearing a couple of Republicans

on the Sunday talk shows complain that the Democrats had chosen this time. Hypocritical as always.

6. He's such a decent man.

Thank you for posting. I am very proud he represents me.

7. I live in Oklahoma and I have zero representation in the senate.

They are both fools and liars, and they are beloved here.

8. Same here in SC. n/t

11. Cropssed the line?? They've dug a trench filled with gators and are trying to pull U into it.

[bjobotts]

12. Coburn and DeMint are too hypocritical to have friends-Just those they want God to condemn

[bjobotts]

13. Like some intent closed eyed worshippers of Apollo praying to kill their enemies.Delusional

[bjobotts]

14. They only change when their whole family is plagued by disease to the point of poverty

[bjobotts]

15. Here's to multimillionaire McCain still collecting disability with his senator pay.STFU

[burning rain]

16. Their kind has no friends--just cronies.

18. Listen to Bill Cosby's For Adults only album and this makes alot of sense

Kinda hard to find, I only found it on tape. (anybody know what a magnetic tape is??? lol) Imagine Reel to Reel :)


But anyway. Lots of God jokes at the blackjack table...

20. Let's cut to the chase

Members of the republic party always use dog-whistle politics. Meaning they say things "without really saying them." There seems to be a lot of republic party members that hope, wish and pray for illness, destruction and misfortune upon members of the Democratic Party.
When in charge of people I used to get frustrated when they would show up late. But I would never condemn them. For example, how bad would I feel after doing a thirty minute diatribe about Joe showing up late, only to find out that "Joe" was not on time because he was bleeding to death in a ditch someplace. I have learned to bite my tongue on such issues. I only wish that our republic party representation would grow up as much as I have over the years.I doubt they will....

21. sure would like to see this.

But it keeps stopping at 0:28, and it won't seem to load past that point. Same with the direct link at You Tube.
