Trying to avoid political posts, but there was some comedy in the Roberts confirmation hearings the other day. I have to admit, most of this was stuff that was observed on the Daily Show, but I find humorous enough to pass along.
There were a number of long-winded questions asked throughout the session, and a number of Hurricane Katrina references as well. But most amusing was Tom Coburn (R-OK) getting caught doing a crossword puzzle in the middle of the hearing!
Also, he gave this speech (click here for video)
"When I ponder our country and its greatness, its weaknesses, its potential, my heart aches for less divisiveness, less polarization, less finger pointing, less bitterness, less mindless partisanship, which at times sounds almost hateful to the ear of Americans."
Here are some great quotes from Coburn in the last year or so. Maybe he was talking about himself?
“I favor the death penalty for abortionists and other people who take life.”
“The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power..."
