Harry Reid and Tom Coburn Represent Everything That Is Grand and Stately About the Senate

Just another usual day on the U.S. Senate floor…

The feud between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) flared up again Wednesday over Coburn’s objection to a bill protecting sharks.

"Honey, how was work today?"

"Same old, same old. Ya know, continued engaging my political nemesis in protracted trench warfare over a non-controversial bill to protect fish with big teeth. The regular."

"Would you like peas as a side dish with dinner tonight?"

"No! I object to the consumption of peas alongside my roast beef tonight. On this matter, I will not budge!"
