A cottonmouth is nice until you disagree with it.

Seriously, this article is much ado about nothing. Coburn even says he is 180 degrees the opposite of her. She might well be a nice person on a face-to-face level, and still be an absolute git in her media statements about Tea Partiers, etc. Kinda like how a lot of the FReepers on here who come off like complete, unadulterated jerks may well be nice people if you met them face to face. People can be different when they have that artificial barrier of a camera or a keyboard.

A lot of politicians are that way. They will smile and slap you on the back a couple of times and then stab you there the next time. I don't like it when either nice or nasty people use the Constitution for toilet paper.
