I think Coburn has found an ounce of sanity. He's slamming Norquist.
Watching Last Word on MSNBC and Sen. Coburn is belittling the influence of Grover Norquist and says he's "old news" and doesn't care about what he says.

8. His criticism of Fox News
At a town hall meeting, Sen. Tom Coburn criticized Fox News, saying it peddled false information about the health care bill.
Coburn also batted down constituents who raised ill-informed concerns about the health care bill. When one woman said she feared being thrown in jail if she didn’t get health insurance, Coburn advised turning off the TV.

“The intention is not to put any one in jail. That makes for good TV news on Fox but that isn’t the intention,” Coburn responded


He defended Pelosi.
In remarks at the town hall, Coburn referred to Pelosi, a California Democrat, as a “nice lady,” which prompted audible disagreement from Oklahomans. “Come on now. She is nice – how many of you all have met her? She’s a nice person,” Coburn said, according to Capitol News Connection.

5. Is that the same Coburn who works out the financial payoffs
for adulterous affairs at the Christian Dorm on C St? He's the one who tries to shut them up for the lowest number, finds the funds, and all of those basic pimping duties? If so, he's also a raving homophobe, a racist, a hypocrite and an idiot.

7. ODonnell very gently queried him about that, even naming numbers, but
didn't press him, as Coburn made it very clear he did NOT want to go over that territory ever again
