Today, largely thru the bi-partisan pressure applied to Sen.Tom Coburn
a compromised was reached with this America Hater whackjob, to
withdraw his hold on the bill IF he were allowed to enter a BS
amendment to take US contributed money away from the UN and other
international aide orgs. Pretending his hold was based on his concern
about the deficit (Strangely he had no compelling concern pre- Obama)
Coburn's embarrassed Republican colleagues helped with the face-saving
compromise that freed up efforts to improve care of the most severely
wounded post 9/11 Vets, care for raped military women and fill other
critical vet health needs.

Ironically, today it was also announced that the DC rooming house
where Coburn has lived for years, also lost its tax free status as a
"church" run by the ultra secretive christian rightwing "Fellowship,"
a group thought to be a front of the "Family" a subversive theocracy
unit of Dr. Dobson's "Focus on the Family" cult based in Colorado.

Known as the "C Street House" for "bible study", this house gained
considerable notoriety last summer as the home for several
philandering congressmen. Coburn said he was just "counseling" the
other men. Right.
