On Tuesday, a C-SPAN caller appeared to mock Senate Republicans and specifically Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma for a speech he made that seemed to wish death upon Democratic Senator Robert Byrd.
A caller named "Abraham" got through to C-SPAN during an interview with Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), and asked Barrasso if Coburn's call to prayer had backfired on Republicans--on Tuesday it was Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), not Sen. Byrd that failed to appear at a health care vote.
"We got our vigil together and took sen. coburn's instructions and prayed real hard that Sen. Byrd would either die or couldn't show up at the vote the other night. how hard did you pray, because I see one of our members is missing this morning. Did it backfire on us? Did one of our members die?!"
Watch the clip below and decide if the caller was joking, or being serious.
