BRIEF
Senator Coburn Apologizes to Senator Reid
By presidential-politics.com
August 1, 2012
In
a call-in show with C-SPAN last month U.S. Senator from Oklahoma Tom
Coburn called the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid incompetent. He
called Mr. Read by name and added the ultimate insult that the
Majority Leader is incapable of carrying on the tradition of the
Senate.
On Monday, on the floor of the U.S. senate, Mr.Coburn
apologized to Mr. read. Well, he did as he should have. Insulting
another Senator by name is hardly keeping with Senate tradition.
