It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. Or it could be that his head wasn't screwed on just right. But I think that the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
~ Dr. Seuss -- How the Grinch Stole Christmas
For 2010, it is a different doctor keeping the spirit of the Grinch alive. Senator Tom Coburn's supporters gleefully hail him as "Dr. No" while his detractors derisively call him the same. It is a fantastic nickname for a guy who has given up his career as a gynecologist (the "Doctor" part) to take up the fiscal conservative cause of keeping down government spending (the "No" part). In that latter role, he gleefully uses obscure senate rules to keep spending bills away from votes, in essence becoming a one man wrecking crew, causing consternation for his cohorts on both sides of the aisle.
Of course, it should probably be no surprise that a man who spent so much of his life around bajangos turned into such a dick.
Don't get me wrong. I actually think some of what Coburn does is perfectly noble. Gary England knows the federal government needs help reigning in spending. It's just...well, the times he chooses to put his foot down tend to be rather questionable.
