Is this What Jesus Would Do If He Was A Senator?

A particularly heated exchange took place recently. As senators prepared for a major vote on health reform, Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma called on Americans to pray that a Democratic colleague would be unable to make it to the floor so that the bill could not reach the needed 60-vote threshold, stepped up to the microphone on the Senate floor and requested a prayer. "What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can't make the vote tonight," he said. "That's what they ought to pray." Predictably, many took offense to Coburn's remark, which many think was aimed squarely at ailing 92-year-old Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
