Mr Coburn, who said he's known as "the bam's bampot", was asked why pensioners are so moany despite receiving free bus passes.
He said: "With all the expensive windmills they have been putting up all over the place, old age pensioners like to sit in front of their three-bar fires and they can't afford it. It's just ridiculous."
During his interview with Kezia Dugdale last week, Gary was left in no doubt about the Labour leader's feelings about Mr Coburn.
Ms Dugdale said: “Everything he stands for is g*sh. He thinks Europe holds back the development of toasters.”
But the UKIP man didn't take the time to hit back and instead joked about the "North Korean" SNP's climate change policy adding that warmer weather would make Scotland a better holiday destination.
A 30 minute special with all the party leaders will be aired on BBC Two Scotland at 10pm tonight.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
