Civility

Coburn gets a little bit sloppy:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) office responded on Tuesday to Sen. Tom Coburn’s (R-OK) comment on Monday in which he called Reid an “absolute a–hole.”
“Nothing says ‘comity’ like childish playground name-calling, especially from a senator who has not sponsored a single piece of successful bipartisan legislation during his entire Senate career,” Reid’s spokesman Adam Jentleson told the Hill.
Coburn continued to bash Reid on Tuesday morning, according to the Hill.
“I think he’s done more damage to the Senate than any majority leader,” Coburn said.
But he’s such a nice bipartisan, Christian politician.
Let’s just hope Obama’s favorite Republican doesn’t decide to do an end-run and start talking to the White House on the budget. Reid is the one who’s holding the line on cutting “entitlements” right now.
