Senator Patty Murray (Dem WA) is now threatening (like in actually threatening) anyone who votes for the Coburn amendment:

Patty Murray is now speaking against the Coburn Amendment, and has just issued a threat against any Senators who vote for the amendment.

Is she to be feared? Is she going to do something? Well she is an extreme leftist and once told a group of high-school students that the U.S. should adopt Osama bin Laden's nation-building tactics; she voted against using military force agains him in both Iraq and Afghanistan; and can be counted on for every Leftist proposal. Government pork increases the dependency of the recipients, which is just what every big government lefty wants. What can she do? Well she can always go to her pals in the media and plant stories about people she doesn't like.
