Tom Coburn Knocks Fox News, Says Nancy Pelosi is a "Nice Person"

He's not my favorite because he said something bad about Fox News. He's my favorite because he has gone out on a limb with his party just to be a decent and respectful person. His political beliefs are 180 degrees away from mine, but I admire his decorum and his breaking away from the childish rivalry that has been coming from both parties for far too long.

I hope that Dr. Coburn gets a windfall of support from this, and that his display of professionalism catches on with both parties.

While I was pleased to hear that someone on today's right has a modicum of courtesy, it really says something about the state of the nation when it's big news that someone from one side of the aisle showed some civility toward the other.

It didn't take Fox News for me to know that Nancy Pelosi is a pompous, self-righteous windbag and it won't take Fox News for me to change my mind about that. You can see it in her actions and her attitude.
