The prayer controversy in the Senate was the right request at the right time and for all the right reasons.

Senator Coburn a Republican from the great desolate state of Oklahoma couldn't have been more on the money when he asked everyone to pray that some of the Democratic Senators that were about to sell us down the river to a socialist inspired health care program, wouldn't be able to find their way down to the Senate floor to vote. Now I personally don't think he was asking that these people meet their end or get their just reward even though there wouldn't be much along the lines of a day of mourning if they did make their way to the great beyond.

My best guess is that he was praying and requesting that we all do the same and request in our prayers that each and every Democratic Senator lose track of time while dallying with their mistresses and whatever, or overstay their welcome at their favorite watering hole and while away the evening in the same drunken stupor most of them are in the majority of the time. The Democrats on the other hand immediately reach for their Alinsky handbooks and start throwing the usual accusations, first insinuating that he meant the ailing 92 year old Senator from West Virginia, Robert Byrd who probably sleeps through most Senate votes and more than likely has a string attached that one of his colleagues uses to raise his hand when his vote is needed. My real question is, how do these guy's keep getting elected to office when it's generally quite apparent that they should have moved on years ago. Byrd in the Senate must be like Douglas was in the Supreme court at the end of his agonizing tenure.

One of the best parts of this show was Senator Durbin, an abortion loving Senator from the great and corrupt state of Illinois, a religion basher in that as a good Democrat he is for the removal of all signs of Religion in public places, taking a pot shot at Senator Coburn for 'invoking God's name in prayer for political proposes', in God's name Dick even a Senator like yourself, can't pull that one off. In the end the vote went through but the shows not over yet. There is time to pray that this horrid bill doesn't make it in it's current or House form. Pray that America wakes up and writes their Congressmen and Senators and let them know how they feel about getting screwed, also that they won't forget this when elections come up in 2010 and 1012.
