Coburn: Philandering Senators Don’t Tear Families Apart—Media Do

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) lashed out at reporters on Capitol Hill who were asking him questions about his role in the Ensign affair:

You’ve got two families that are back together and you guys are going to help tear them apart. What do you think their kids think about what you’re writing right now? You’re helping tear two families apart that are back together. You need to quit. It’s all manipulation.
