Dr. Coburn Came to Washington

New US senators are similar to little children, in that they should be seen and not heard. They must also be obedient.

Someone, though, forgot to tell this to Dr. Tom Coburn. Since coming to Washington, he has had the audacity to speak out against wasteful spending. This alone is impardonable, but when the waste was iniated by his own party, it's treasonable.

But now he's getting his comeuppance. The Senate Ethics Committee is investigating Coburn for the vilest of sins: he went home to deliver a baby. What fiendish behavior, entirely unbecoming a senator.

Capra himself couldn't write a better plot; although he once came close.
