Tom Coburn Unloads On Harry Reid: 'Dishonest, Not Truthful, Failure'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

By the end of Tom Coburn's Morning Joe appearance today, a panel member could be heard, off-camera, whistling in astonishment.

Not surprising, since the plain-talking Republican Senator from Oklahoma had just unloaded on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Coburn called Reid "dishonest" in his dealings with him, saying that Reid was "not truthful" and had "not kept his word." For good measure, Coburn added that Reid had been a "failure" as Majority Leader.

Reid is a mobster thug with an evil smile. Coburn is lying or a fool if he actually thinks he’s “nice”.

George McGovern was nice. Maybe even Coburn’s personal friend BH Obama was nice. Reid is a mean son of bitch.

” Coburn : “Harry Read is a nice guy I like him, but I ...’”

Pathetic....Reid was a bag man for the old Vegas mob, including Conforte : )

Coburn is a lame duck. A few of his votes of late have been disappointing to say the least. Hopefully we can get a “Cruz” type replacement for him.

Exactly how long have you been in the Senate? And after all that time, and sitting through and witnessing the multitude of lies, demogoguery, vile, and denigrating bilge spewed forth by this sub-human perversion from Nevada, YOU’RE JUST GETTING THIS NOW?! IDIOT!!!


Has your former Senate pal Obama treated you any differently?

Don’t just stand your ground, go on offense.

The best way to go on offense would be to prosecute their bundlers for campaign finance violations.

Or it would be, if too many Republicans weren't engaging in the exact same actions.
