yendiPolitical memory is short, so for those who don't remember, here's the Senate vote on Hurricane Sandy relief.
Note the presence of Inhofe and Coburn in the "no" column.
When they inevitable request aid for OK, yes, they'll be a pair of hypocritical bastards.
No, it doesn't mean OK should be denied the aid; the request is legitimate, and the people need help, not a pointless lesson in what a pair of shits they've elected.
But the senators themselves damned well deserve to be raked over the fucking coals. And to get the fuck out of our government.
(FYI, for those who don't know, my roots are in OK; my mom grew up in OK, and although I no longer have any family near any of the affected areas, it's still a part of my childhood.)
