Did Coburn opt out of the "Gang of Six" because of his entanglement in Ensign-gate?
Just wondering. It was rather an abrupt departure and the timing suggests that possibility.
Plus his stated reason was on the order of - "we had reached an impasse" - which seems kind of goofy given that the reason for the group was to break the impasse so how does him dropping out help do that?

1. He wants out of the spotlight it appears.
I hope the DOJ nails his lying ass too.

2. Me thinks he is responding to pressure from the House.
Demand Big Cuts or nothing.
