You may have heard earlier this week about wingnut Senator Tom Coburn's wish that all the teabagging Christians would unite in prayer to exert Gawd's justice over the health care reform bill...by striking down one of the Democratic senators expected to vote "Yes" on the measure. This was seen as a particularly callous and cynical reference to the ails of West Virginia's aging Robert Byrd.
Needless to say, outraged Dems demanded an apology, which Coburn declined to provide, instead offering tepid claims he'd been misunderstood and had only wished that some unnamed senator's car wouldn't start (and if that isn't a euphemism for death I don't know what is). At any rate, Byrd survives.
This morning on C-SPAN, a panicky caller confronts Wyoming Republican Senator John Barrasso with the fear that his prayers were misheard and the wrong senator may have died. It seems Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe failed to show up to vote this morning, and the Gawd-fearing nutjob teabagger (or is it a prank?) thinks maybe the Man Upstairs got the wrong message...
