Challenges unprofessional?

No more than the unprofessional lies and deceptions of Boehner on amnesty, on the repeal of Obamacare, on budget issues, etc.

Coburn has always been a toss-up. But he, like too many, found too many new friends in DC and tends to side with the DC establishment on too many issues.

Correction to my post:

Cole, not Coburn

Attempted Republican Coup: Ready, Aim, Misfire

The gang that couldn’t shoot straight targets Newt Gingrich — but a G.O.P. upstart takes the hit instead

By James Carney/Washington

With reporting by Karen Tumulty/Washington

(TIME, July 28) — Congressman Tom Delay, the pest-control expert from Laredo, Texas, knows all about the black art of extermination. So how did the majority whip so thoroughly botch the job he undertook two weeks ago, when he tried to eradicate a king-size Newt?

In scheming to be rid of House Speaker Gingrich, DeLay and his co-conspirators showed all the talent for intrigue of Peter Sellers in his Pink Panther days. Depending on who’s doing the telling, the schemers included one, two or all three of the other House leaders ranked directly below the Speaker—majority leader Dick Armey, G.O.P. conference chairman John Boehner and leadership chairman Bill Paxon—not to mention 20 or more insurgents from the rank and file.

Are you confusing Sen. Tom Coburn with Congressman Tom Cole? OK is prolly the most Conservative State in the United States; with the possible exception of Texas. Sounds like both of these “Toms” have betrayed the people of Oklahoma.

Cole is not Coburn. Coburn was in the Senate. Cole is in the House. I know, it is confusing... their names start with the same two letters...
