This was from that deficit commission that he's part of. Here's a link to the accompanying story :)

Fear the beard, national debt. FEAR IT!

I must be hungry, I thought the thread title had cornbread in it? :eek:

It might someday if he lets it grow out.

This was one of the lead stories on the news this morning. Really, a beard is news?

[picasso]

I talked to him at the airport in Tulsa circa Nov '98. He was in full Jeremiah Johnson growth then.

The guy on his right is either hypnotized by it, or afraid to look at it so much so he seems to have drifted off...

If Tom Coburn wants a beard, Tom Coburn will have a beard. That's what I like about Tom Coburn.

Seriously, Mike Crapo from Idaho?

Same goes for that center-part.

Starting to look like Colonel Sanders...

It was funny to see News 9 (GOPTV) defend him for being against unemployment benefits which affected millions of Americans right before Christmas.

It's easy to be all for balancing the budget when you have a government job, government transportation, government benefits, and government health care. Read my linked article "Empty chamber" to read some about TC's shenanigans, and how ineffective the senate generally is.

Yeah...terrible of him to want them to not spend money they DON'T HAVE!

There's more to it than that.

Your're redefining the issue here. He has no problem using governmental funds which profit his causes, but acts like a money saver when it comes to others. This post-Bush, new-found, desire to be accountable with money, I'm sure has nothing to do with the Dems being in the white house.

He and the state of Oklahoma have yet to return a single dollar from the stimulus money, yet in theory he's is against it. Read the article I have linked.

[badger]

He was angry with spending back when Bush was in office, even when Republicans were still in the majority and he'll continue to complain about overspending even if he's part of a 100-Republican Senate, 400-something Republican Congress and a Republican president. That's just how Dr. Coburn is.

[reflector]

That is a pretty cool beard.

That is a pretty cool beard.

Should he be proud?

[reflector]

Should he be proud?

Probably. I don't think I could grow a beard that cool.
