Here's something we can all agree is kind of cool and funny! For all that we complain about our Senators and Representatives, here's something we probably all, or most of us at least, have in common with them - WE CAN'T SING For $HIT...lol! Hear for yourself: http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/senator-settles-bcs-bet-by-singing-rocket-man/13471414 Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Bill Nelson (D-FL) made a friendly wager on the BCS National Championship football game between Coburn's Oklahoma Sooners and Nelson's Florida Gators. Since Nelson is a former astronaut he chose for Coburn to sing Elton John's "Rocket Man" and Coburn chose for Nelson to sing the Broadway show tune "Oklahoma". In case you haven't heard, Florida defeated Oklahoma 24-14. Can we all agree Coburn better not quit his day job...lol? Annie

LOL At least they are making news for illegal gambling. It's a nice political story that doesn't include mudslinging lol

Yes, I agree. I never would have accepted a bet like that, would you?
