Is this the same Tom Coburn who voted for TARP? Or is this a different Tom Coburn?

"Is this the same Tom Coburn who voted for TARP?"

TARP? ROTFLMAO!!

"In 2008, he (Gingrich) hailed John McCain's efforts in the crafting of the TARP legislation: Gingrich put out a statement hailing McCain's eleventh-hour intervention. "This is the greatest single act of responsibility ever taken by a presidential candidate and rivals President Eisenhower saying, ‘I will go to Korea'. Eisenhower's pledge was enough to reassure voters that if elected he would find a way to resolve the Korean conflict. McCain's high-octane involvement in the bailout is meant to convey the same sense of stature and leadership, and to provide cover to reluctant Republicans to support a deal that runs counter to everything they thought they stood for...here was Gingrich, in all his infinite political (un)wisdom, hailing McCain's idiocy as if it were both statesmanlike and genius."
