R-Oklahoma. After reading the GQ profile of him, I have a lot more respect for him. He's an asshole, and I think he's wrong about a lot, but he at least seems to be a vaguely principled asshole, which is more than I can say for most of Congress.
Also highlights the terrifying state of the federal budget. As Paul Krugman has pointed out, the state of US finances look a lot like Argentina's prior to their financial collapse, and the only reason ours hasn't collapsed yet is because we are who we are. Pretty soon, however, the rest of the world is going to stop giving us the benefit of the doubt.
