Testifying before a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on AIDS and global health programs this morning, Sir Elton John attracted attention from reporters and staffers alike on Wednesday.

Six days after Head Coach Urban Meyer captured his second national championship in three years at the University of Florida, Sen. Tom Coburn found himself belting out Elton John’s famous tune, “Rocket Man,” with staff and CQ Roll Call on hand to capture the action.
