Wingnut science: Breast implants are good for you?

Sen. Tom Coburn, fresh from battling teenage lesbians in Oklahoma is teaching us new science (from Altercation):

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."

Emphasis mine.  I'm a scientist, and I sure as heck haven't heard that breast implants make you healthier.  Do you think Coburn is qualified for an IgNobel Prize now?
