Sen. Tom Coburn to 9/11 First Responders: Drop Dead

By Joe Consumer

After all the progress made following last week?s powerfully embarrassing Daily Show coverage (clips here and here), culminating in outrage by media figures both left and right, and compromises by New York Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer to satisfy the GOP,  Oklahoman Republican Senator Tom Coburn ? a physician no less ? still intends to keep the sick and dying Ground Zero workers from getting relief.  A few days before Christmas. Using blocking procedures. 

Either I'm having a nightmare, or we're living out a Dicken's novel.  Or both.

 

Bob Cratchit Mr. Scrooge?
Scrooge I'm busy.
Bob Cratchit: Well, it's about Mr. Marley, sir! He's dying!
Scrooge:Well, what do you want me to do about it? If he's dying, he's dying.

Some people were meant to live in the 1840s.
