Tom Coburn said that Americans should pray for “some Senator” to be unable to make it in to vote for the health care bill on Sunday. He said this during a dangerous snowstorm, transparently hoping that someone (such as 92 year old Senator Byrd) would have a car crash or worse, since that is what it would take for the 60 Senator total needed to overcome the minority filibuster not to be assembled. This morning, during the second and crucial procedural vote, his prayers were answered. Jim Inhofe didn’t bother to show up.
