In the interest of balance...

Mallard Fillmore, which the Boston Globe runs as part of its sinister plan to make conservatives look silly, devoted today’s and yesterday’s strips to praising “maverick conservative” Tom Coburn, M.D., Republican Senator from Oklahoma. After reading the Senator’s entry on dKosopedia, I have to wonder what this man, out of all the Republicans in the Senate, has done to earn the cartoonist’s praise. Is it his remark that “if you have [silicone breast implants], you’re healthier than if you don’t”? Is it his claim that thanks to his medical training, he can tell whether or not a witness is lying at a Congressional hearing? Is it the resolution he sponsored congratulating Carrie Underwood for winning American Idol?
