Senator Tom Coburn on the floor of the Senate

“Condoms and teenagers work about 50% of the time, if you count all of the studies up.”


Throughout my teen years, I always had either a summer or part-time job. And thanks to condoms, I have never been a partner to an unintended pregnancy or had an STD. So fuck you Senator Coburn. This remark is dismissive of kids that do work and unbelievably ignorant regarding the effectiveness of condoms. Bravura performance Senator - a double shot of bullshit.

Good Lord – how do spiteful morons like this get elected?

Hat tip to Atrios.
