Here is a perfect example of what is wrong with those who worship power.

Bob Novak is the best. Today he shows us that Republican politicians are morons too.

Senate plots to get rid of doc
Dr. Tom Coburn, a U.S. senator from Oklahoma for less than four months, last week was up to old tricks he started playing in the House a decade ago. He was making colleagues' lives miserable by exposing wasteful, unnecessary spending that is supposed to stay hidden. The Senate establishment, like its House counterpart, has retaliated by bringing ethics charges against the obstetrician-senator for going home to Muskogee, Okla., to deliver babies.


Senator Coburn sounds like my kind of guy. I guess the citizen-legislator of yore is long gone. We are ruled by a political class. What each member of this class chooses to call himself appears to be accidental.
