Tom Coburn Is A Phony

[berni_mccoy]

Oh Man Daily Show *just* did a double RIP on Trent Lott and Tom Coburn...

Tom Coburn nearly *cried* during the confirmation on the divisiveness of partisan politics and how it is hurting Merika. But John Stewart didn't let him get away with his PHONY Tears as he followed up Coburns dispicable display with quotes of Coburn's own partisan HATE TALK.

Then they showed an over-the shoulder camera shot of Trent Lott WHO WAS DOING A CROSSWORD PUZZLE During the hearing (unbelievable). Then adding thier own comedy to it, they showed a mocked-up zoom-in of Lott's puzzle showing filled in blanks that displayed "Tom Coburn Is A Phony"

ABSOLUTELY FRICKIN HILARIOUS!

:rofl:

1. Coburn's own partisan HATE TALK.

"Abortionists deserve capital punishment"

From the WP

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) showed exceptional emotional versatility, working a crossword puzzle during the hearing and then choking back a sob while making a prosaic statement about partisanship.
