Coburn's STD Lecture to Congressional Interns Put On Hold Due to Pizza Dispute

[Freddie Stubbs]

Capitol Hill interns might miss out this summer on a famed lecture from Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn on the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases -- all because of a dispute over who will pay for pizza.

The Senate Ethics Committee is requiring that Coburn, a Republican, buy the pizza for the 150 to 300 interns -- rather than have outside groups that have previously helped sponsor the event foot the bill.

Coburn spokesman John Hart said the "safe-sex slide show" -- which Coburn, a practicing obstetrician, has given annually since 1997 -- is on hold pending a decision over who will buy the pie.

"It's something we're going to be discussing," Hart told FOXNews.com.
