>>Did Leaky Leahy find out Batman’s secret identity in a early, early morning meeting with Commissioner Gordon so that he could announce it on Good Morning Gotham? <<

I think that was the part that was not shown!
They did show, however, him nearly getting his mouth slashed open by the Joker, for being overly bold and smarmy.

And there it is! These pro-choice people are so evil that they don’t want any babies to be born,they have to be under some evil influence to go as far as they do. 55 million dead American children because of abortion.

I guess I just don’t get the problem here. He is doing pro bono work like a lot of lawyers do.

“In May, Coburn received a strongly worded “final determination” memo threatening him with a Senate censure if he did not stop delivering babies for free….”

Senate ethics is a contradiction in terms. Our Democrat brethren are totally amoral, except when it comes to imposing demands on someone else. They don’t have the first clue about ethical behavior.

Coburn would be McPain’s best pick for VP, and he even endorsed McPain early in the cycle.

Coburn is what a member of Congress should be. The Democrats hate him for derailing their gravy train. The Democrats think the purpose of government is to give federal handouts to people, who will in turn vote for the Dems at election time.

Dr. Coburn, my Senator, has committed himself to serve only 2 terms in the Senate. He did the same thing when he served in the House of Representatives, 6 terms, 12 years. He is up for re-election in 2010, and, no doubt, will be re-elected. But he will end his Senate service in 2016. After that there has been speculation he would run for Governor of Oklahoma but its only speculation.
When Dr. Coburn leaves the Senate in 2016 Senator Byrd will be 187 years old!

In May, Coburn received a strongly worded “final determination”
memo threatening him with a Senate censure if he did not stop delivering
babies for free….

I’m hazy on this, but I think the pukes were hassling Coburn even
when he was delivering babies for pay!
I think the claim was something like he violated some rules by getting
compensation while serving as a US Senator.
I remember hearing about this at least a year ago...it was just as
unbelievable as this current attack on him.

But the stinkers in the Senate have to do what they can to muzzle him.
Coburn delivered a really good speech on the Senate floor last Saturday...
basically ripping the lack of debate on the current omnibus bill
and the inaction by the Dems on increasing drilling (oil supply).

Anyway, the Dems have to hate him...he served as a deacon in a
Southern Baptist congregation!

Washington, D.C. is an ethical septic tank, where people do the most shameless things to obtain and hold on to positions of power.

explain to me where there is any sort of “ethics” violations for a Doctor to deliver babies for free

He "should be" killing them for free.

Frist is out of the Senate. There a couple of others in the House besides Paul.

I still do not understand Coburn’s support of McCain...because Coburn is a real maverick while McCain is a faux maverick (and liberal)

That said...Coburn would be a great VP choice

McCain unfortunately will not choose him. Coburn is too pro-American for McCain

I think the Republicans should start running against the Democrat corruption using Coburn’s case.
Voice over: The democrats in congress have charged a republican senator with ethics violation. His crime delivering babies for free. The democrat congress never cared about these wrong doing democrats. One with $90,000 in bribe money in his freezer, several who received special low interest loans, one whose husband received hundred’s of millions of dollars in military contracts, a congressman’s whose home was turned into a gay brothel, a senator who leaked classified information which got several CIA agents killed, one who killed a woman in drunken driving accident and didn’t call police for 12 hours. They found nothing wrong with any of these actions. They find delivering babies for free to be corruption. Haven’t you had enough?

What’s Coburn doing wrong? I thought the Dems wanted “free” health care for everyone.”

Good Point.

All of us have done something “for free” in our lifetimes.
I am a bookkeeper.
It is entirely my choice if I want to do something for someone and not charge them or reduce my charges. It isn’t anyone else’s business.

I hope the reasoning behind the ethics complaint is that the practice amounts to buying votes, not just being kindhearted.

Rebuplican National Committee has to look hard at this and use it, IMO.
