High praise: Republican Senator calls Harry Reid an 'absolute asshole'

Report: Tom Coburn called Harry Reid an 'absolute a--hole'

Sen. Tom Coburn was clear Monday about certain Democrats he doesn’t get along with, calling Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid an “absoulte a—hole,” according to a report.

“I have great relationships with Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). I don’t say that in Oklahoma,” Coburn (R-Okla.) said at a gala at the New York Young Republican Club, the New York Daily News reported.

“There’s no comity with Harry Reid (D-Nev.). I think he’s an absolute a—hole,” he said.

The name-calling came after Coburn was asked about working across party lines. The Oklahoma senator reportedly listed a few other Democrats in addition to Schumer that he works well with.

If Republicans loathe you, you are either on the opposing side or they are jealous.

He promised to be only a two term senator. Unfortunately, the good folks here in OK will most likely elect an even bigger
nozzle than Mr. Coburn.

BTW, Inhofe has said he's running for another term. He turns 79 next month and is already brain dead.
