Tom Coburn for prez? Why the hell not?
Sen. Tom Coburn is mulling an entry into the Republican presidential primary, according to sources inside and outside the Senate. Coburn, a senator from Oklahoma, is believed to be receiving encouragement from a small group of wealthy businessmen and philanthropists in the Oklahoma-Kansas-Texas region of the country.
"He's all about faith, lower taxes, and staying the course in Iraq," says an adviser outside of the Senate who has been speaking to Coburn.
Read all about it from The American Spectator.
Read some snark from Wonkette.
Read some anti-snark from Reason Magazine.
Coburn's reputation as a maverick is only half-right. He's a right-wing maverick.
Dr. ER and I sorts kinda like havin' him around, though, for comic relief -- which should tell y'all all how much rightier a person the great state of Oklahoma is capable of sending to the U.S. Senate.

Will Roger once said, evry time he made a joke it didn't hurt no one, but everytime Congress made a joke it was a law.
Tom Coburn is not comic relief he is as serious as a heart attack. Tom Coburn's ascendency would require that we, as Jefferson advised, norish anew the Tree Of Liberty.
