Senator Tom Coburn (Lawful Evil, Oklahoma), is demanding that no aid go to Oklahoma without dollar for dollar cuts from other programs.

Words fail.

On a related note, a number of outraged Democrats on other forums are demanding that we take him at his word and refuse aid, since aid should not be used to punish people on medicare and Social Security. Dems are calling representatives (particularly in areas hit by Sandy last fall) to remand them that Coburn and Inhofe tried to block disaster aid to traditional democratic states.

This is how a country falls apart.

I’m cool with that as long as the budget cuts start with Coburn’s salary.
