Republicans and what they pray for

Via Think Progress, we learn about the very Christian values Tom Coburn put on display yesterday when he was discussing the upcoming cloture vote on the health care reform bill:

What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight. That’s what they ought to pray.

Nice sentiment he's got going there. Dick Durbin was disturbed enough by it to interrupt Sherrod Brown:

This statement troubles me, and I’m trying to reach him come back to the floor and explain exactly what he meant about a senator being unable to make the vote tonight.

Between praying/wishing his senatorial adversaries into the corn and helping fellow Republicans figure out how to buy off mistresses, the throwback senator from Oklahoma has quite the interesting view of what Jesus would do.
