Good News, America: 14 Senators Don't Have BB's
Ed Frank / Americans for Prosperity
Yesterday Americans for Prosperity joined U.S. Senators Jim DeMint (R) of South Carolina and Tom Coburn (R) of Oklahoma, along with our friends at several other pro-taxpayer groups, for a Capitol Hill news conference spotlighting the shortcomings of the ethics, lobbying and earmark reform legislation Congress is considering this week.
Sen. Coburn had the line of the day, and perhaps one of the best lines ever, when he pointed out that many Senators don't have the, um, political courage to vote against a lackluster reform bill:
"They have reproductive organs the size of B-Bs that won't allow them to do the right thing."
Well, as Sen. Coburn predicted, the Senate just passed the ethics reform bill by an overwhelming margin, 83-14. The American people may be pleased to know that at least 14 members of the upper chamber are (reportedly) equipped with something more substantial than BB's.
Penance for Tom DeLay's K-Street? Embarrassed by a Don Young's Bridge to Nowhere? Not on your life!
