On the first day of John Roberts confirmation hearings Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) pulled a Rodney King "Why can't we all just get along?" Roberts broke down in tears, complaining, "When I ponder our country and its greatness, its weakness, its potential, my heart aches for less divisiveness, less polarization, less finger-pointing, less bitterness, less mindless partisanship."

Judging from his deeds what he means is that he wants these things to end on the left, but not the right. Christy, at ThinkProgress.org pointed out the following actions of Senator Coburn:

Coburn on his 2004 opponent: It’s a "battle of good vs. evil."

Coburn on the Oklahoma legislature: "You have a bunch of crapheads in Oklahoma City that have killed the vision of anybody wanting to invest in Oklahoma."

Coburn on doctors: "I favor the death penalty for abortionists and other people who take life."

Coburn on homosexuality: "The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power. Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That's a gay agenda."

Shortly before speaking news cameras caught Coburn working on a crossword puzzle tucked in his lap.
