Long profile of Tom Coburn in the Post today. I liked this:
The rules they learned in the orientation session on ethics? “Ridiculous,” he says. “Crazy.” He can fly his wife home from Washington with frequent-flier miles, but not to Washington. He can dine with a lobbyist, but only once. “Just think about it,” he says. “I’m 56 years of age. I’ve had three jobs, raised three kids. If somebody can buy my vote for a dinner, I shouldn’t be here in the first place.
The man’s typically just good sense…may he prosper in his Beltway return.
