Coburn Doesn't Like AmeriCorps And We Can Prove It

Here’s another good one from Tom Coburn, the ornery Republican senator from Oklahoma, reports Politico's Ryan Grim. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) zipped a resolution around the Senate, which had already passed the House, asking for unanimous consent to applaud AmeriCorps, a national service program.

Coburn took the unusual step of putting a hold on the senatorial platitude, but told its backers that he would consent to it as long as he could make some edits.
