And you can thank Tom Coburn for inviting this discussion, by willing appearing on MSNBC (of all places) to whine and bitch about his fellow Republican, or--- "eating his own," if you will.

and....... not only that he went on CBS and praised Nancy Pelosi....... today he trashes Ted Cruz on MSNBC and in 2010 he went on CBS to praise Nancy Pelosi and trash Fox News... and we are supposed to be mad at Cruz?
