Or, at the very least, needs to fire his press secretary:
Oklahoma Republican Sen. Tom Coburn will seek to offset federal aid to victims of amassive tornado that blasted through Oklahoma City suburbs on Monday with cuts elsewhere in the budget.
“That’s always been his position [to offset disaster aid],” a spokesman told theHuffington Post Monday night. “He supported offsets to the bill funding the OKC bombing recovery effort.”
Coburn, who intends to retire in 2016, joined his fellow Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe (R) last year in supporting an amendment that would have substantially cut a package of $60 billion dollars intended for reconstruction of the East Coast in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
If you are not a cactus-brained sociopath and actually want to help in OK, which gotnailedtoday, try here.

Hey, it’s not like Tom’s house got blown to flinders yesterday. So, his wealthy constituents need to see more suffering. That’s the way it works in Coburnville. Now, can we please get on to something important, like repealing job-killing government regulations, tax cuts for the rich, and cutting Social Security benefits? That’s what’s closest to Tom’s black little shriveled heart.
and yet, as i’ve said elsewhere, we’re he to run again the good people of OK would re-elect him in a landslide.
Oklahomans, like the dumbfucks they are, voted these assholes into office. Repeatedly. Maybe if they are forced to live with the consequences they’ll alter their behavior in the voting booth next time. But I won’t be holding my breath.
