Gold winner Sen.Tom Coburn, R-Okla. is proud of his efforts to block the extension of unemployment benefits, who wouldn’t?!! Coburn labors under the delusion that the "relatively small group of people" affected, 212,000 to be exact, must not vote. Selfish gits, they’re merely "inconvenienced." This is a small price to pay to assure the financial future of their better-off neighbors, and Coburn, who has the big picture in mind, the back patting, and all of the money his state will save! Does anyone in Oklahoma remember being asked about the trillions Coburn voted for, along with the Bush war machine?
