    Dr Wacky Tom Coburn

    Don't forget about our fine Oklahoma Senator's other special notable statements:

    He believes in the death penalty for doctors (or anyone else) who perform abortions. (Pay no attention to the fact that he performed plenty himself. Details! Details!)

    Dr. Tom can read minds. He told Tim Russert on "Meet the Press" that he can always tell when someone is lying.

    BTW, as far as we Okies know, those lesbians in Oklahoma schools must have moved to Kansas or something. Our teenage birthrate is pretty high. But, maybe not. Dr. Tom says teenage pregnancy is part of the homosexual 'agenda.'

    There is much, much more....

    Now, what was that about crazy doctors in the Senate?
