It’s really a toss-up for most ridiculous Tom Coburn moment of his brief tenure in the U.S. Senate.
His warnings about rampant lesbianism in Oklahoma schools will always be the sentimental favorite, seeing as how it was the one that put him on the map.
But them came his enthusiastic support for breast implants, going so far as to offer his opinion that women with implants were healthier than women with their real babylons.
While those examples would be plenty for a man in just his fifth month in the Senate, Coburn’s latest entry makes a strong case for the top spot. From his “Revenge of the STDs” sex-ed lecture to Congressional staffers.
I find it unbelievable that this guy hasn’t been run out of office! I suppose it is just a sign of our very ignorant times. Is our national level of education diminishing? Or is the quality of our education in the U.S. decreasing? One of these two must be the case given the political climate in this country.
