It’s really a toss-up for most ridiculous Tom Coburn moment of his brief tenure in the U.S. Senate.

His warnings about rampant lesbianism in Oklahoma schools will always be the sentimental favorite, seeing as how it was the one that put him on the map.

But them came his enthusiastic support for breast implants, going so far as to offer his opinion that women with implants were healthier than women with their real babylons.

While those examples would be plenty for a man in just his fifth month in the Senate, Coburn’s latest entry makes a strong case for the top spot. From his “Revenge of the STDs” sex-ed lecture to Congressional staffers:

Coburn got serious. He flipped to his next slide. It showed a part of the male anatomy but not as a science textbook drawing; this was the real thing, and a particularly sorry example; it looked like it had been left outside by mistake and then rusted in some unnatural way, with scaly dry spots, and warts on an angry red background.

Isn’t this the kind of thing Democrats do, usually leading to some kind of reprimand from either the press, Republicans, or both?

But, say what you will, Coburn seems to be reaching the truly clueless, and for that, our hat’s off:

“You keep mentioning the word ‘monogamy’,” a staffer named Roland Foster recalls one young woman asking after a lecture. “What is that?”

“That’s when you have sex with only one partner,” Coburn responded.

“You mean at a time?”
