Republican faithful misfire

TPM reports of a distressed caller to CSPAN worried that his prayer for Robert Byrd's death may have struck Jim Inhofe instead:

"Our small tea bag group here in Waycross, we got our vigil together and took Dr. Coburn's instructions and prayed real hard that Sen. Byrd would either die or couldn't show up at the vote the other night," the caller said.

"How hard did you pray because I see one of our members was missing this morning. Did it backfire on us? One of our members died? How hard did you pray senator? Did you pray hard enough?" he continued, his voice breaking.

Fortunately, it appears that both Sens. Byrd and Inhofe survived the prayer assault.
