Shameless

If there is a hell, Senator Tom Coburn will be going there. Read this powerful post by Meteor Blades if you doubt me.

It shouldn’t surprise us that Coburn would put a hold on something like the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act. He is, after all, the same fellow who sterilized women against their will and said “lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in Southeast Oklahoma that they’ll only let one girl go to the bathroom.” But it should make us ashamed that someone like him is one of the most powerful men in the US government. I don’t know what Oklahoma Republicans have against this country but it’s hard to see how the two troglodytes they’ve sent to the US Senate (Inhofe being the other one) can be interpreted as anything but hatred for their fellow countrymen.
