The U.S. Senate's Dr. "No" was Dr. "Noise" for a few minutes Wednesday afternoon. Sen. Tom Coburn, the Oklahoma freshman known for his penchant for obstructing legislation in the Senate, was forced to belt out a few lines of Elton John's "Rocketman" after losing a bet to Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, Dem. The two wagered on the outcome of the BCS National Championship Game between Florida and Oklahoma, which Florida won 24-14. The "concert" took place in Nelson's Senate office in Washington in front of a gather of both senators' staff and journalists.
