I wonder for how long. RT @GlennThrush: It is striking that #OK senators are 1) a federal spending skeptic and 2) global warming denier

Don’t judge Politico’s Glenn Thrush for judging Oklahoma senators Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe. Coburn invited criticism by voting against the pork-filled Sandy aid package and then revealing he’d seek spending offsets to pay for any federal assistance with tornado disaster recovery. It was shocking that Coburn would even think of money at a time like this — particularly to those waiting for Coburn to announce if he’d seek spending offsets.
Left's already busy scoring points w/tragedy by needling Coburn abt offsets. If he doesn't respond, he's a hypocrite; if he does, a monster.

Read the twitters Coburn already called for offsetting aid RT “@Tark31: I mean really, @glennthrush. Are you FUCKING serious?”

@AlanLCross I stated the policy position that defines Inhofe's political career. Why is that off limits? I'm disrespecting victims?

Climate change? That speaks for itself, doesn’t it? Those senators were practically begging to be hit with a tornado by denying man-made climate change.
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure Oklahoma had tornadoes before anyone had ever heard of global warming. Just saying. @GlennThrush

Go ahead, @GlennThrush, please explain what climate change has to do with tornadoes?

Are we sure the sequester isn't to blame, too? @FilmLadd @GlennThrush

Is this sarcasm or a rare incidence of self-awareness?
I'm a douche low-life scumbag jackhole ghoul for noting Coburn already wants offsets to fed aid and Inhofe is climate change denier.

Here’s one of those questions journalists like Thrush never seem to ask.

There wouldn’t need to be offsets for emergency spending if the government wasn’t running trillion dollar yearly deficits, @GlennThrush.
