How Do We Elect These Guys?
Tom Coburn, new Senator from Oklahoma, spouts more of his medical wisdom and this from the man who claimed that high schools in a area of Oklahoma were being run over by lesbians and female students were afraid of going to the bathroom as a result.
From the Washington Post via Buzzflash:
Weird Science
"Speaking of doctors, physician-Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), a new member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was at last week's meeting on a bill restricting class-action suits. "You know," he said, "I immediately thought about silicone breast implants and the legal wrangling and the class-action suits off that.
"And I thought I would just share with you what science says today about silicone breast implants. If you have them, you're healthier than if you don't. That is what the ultimate science shows. . . . In fact, there's no science that shows that silicone breast implants are detrimental and, in fact, they make you healthier."
So bigger really is better? Who knew?"
(Emphasis Mine)
