But age does not ennoble the practice, it's still shameful.<br /> <br /> Politicians like Coburn disgust me. They're happy to arm them. They're happy to send them into harm's way. But after that, they've outlived their usefulness, and they're on their own.<br /> <br /> These aren't robots. They're fellow-citizens. When they go out on our behalf, we have an obligation to see to the wounds they bear on our behalf. To offer them less is a shameful, despicable, loathsome act.<br />
