Nobody in Minnesota even cares about this dumb recount deal anymore, they would be happy to have as their second senator Jesse Ventura in a tutu and a stocking cap, but Norm Coleman and Al Franken still want “the courts” to decide the election that happened seven months ago: you know, the one that hinges [...]
Possibly former senator Norm Coleman has fought valiantly for nearly half a year to secure a return ticket to Washington, DC, where he sleeps in an airless subterranean closet known as “the gimp chamber.” But he has lost his latest legal effort, and the Democratic National Committee is just rubbing salt in the wound.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, CLOWN?
What is this, the famous journal of conservative thought (now begging you to subscribe for HALF OFF!) is calling on Brave Norm Coleman to actually give up fighting this election he lost to an actual teevee clown? In one of the typical remedial-blog-posting bits which make “The Corner” required reading in, we don’t know, maybe [...]
Homosexual cowboy John Cornyn, head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, says that everyone’s favorite November 2008 election between Norm Coleman and Al Franken could take “years” to resolve if he and his friends just want act like assholes. Apparently once Coleman’s challenge is rejected in state courts, there is another level called “federal courts.” [...]
The St. Paul Saints made a funny Larry Craig souvenir to hand out at their games last year, and what better to follow it up with this year than a bobblehead showing Al Franken and Norm Coleman joined at the cranium and wearing a Sesame Street costume? (This is the image that Hugh Hewitt masturbates [...]
FRANKEN-COLEMAN DEATH MATCH STILL IN COURT: Minnesota’s single senator says she expects this will be resolved when the polar ice caps melt; meanwhile, the secretary of state says any hope of a revote is “pure fantasy, pure baloney.” Suggestion: Appoint Roland Burris as interim senator. [Time]
Al Franken! Norm Coleman! Who will win this epic battle for the Senate? And more importantly, who cares who will win this epic battle for the Senate? The answer is both sides, equally. This is why the Senate stalemate is so goddamned stale.
We are very fond of the Talking Points Memo, and their many auxiliary sites that do reporting-type things for us to parasitize. So it is in the spirit of great love and affection that we must point out to David Kurtz, who wonders why the endless Coleman/Franken recount drama “still seems to be flying below [...]
This is an actual panel, being held today, at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. There are no words. [CPAC 2009]
It’s so easy to confuse the Als Sharpton and Franken, with the one being a black Baptist minister and the other being a white Jew from Minnesota. (Thank you master proofreader “Vic” for bringing this to our attention!) [Huffington Post]
Today is Day 1 of the Coleman-Franken battle royale. The real winners are the people of Minnesota, and also probably Al Franken. [The Corner] Most New Yorkers blame Caroline Kennedy for Caroline Kennedy’s decision to ruin democracy and publicly disgracing the esteemed office of Chuck Schumer’s intern by failing to get a Senate appointment. [CNN [...]
Wow, this is a kind of a weird thing to say: Norm Coleman told the AP that anybody besides Al Franken would have really kicked his ass in that Senate race. Why is Norm Coleman pointing out that he could have been an even bigger loser than he already is, locked in an endless recount [...]
Well, the Minnesota state canvassing board is set to certify Al Franken the winner of the Senate race against Norm Coleman. But maybe because it is Minnesota and the cold slows everything down (?), it will take a week for those certified results to show up … on a certificate. That gives Coleman the opportunity [...]
Tomorrow is the anniversary — or “cumpleanos”, in Muslim — of Castro’s Cuban revolution. [Hit & Run] Douglas M. Elmendorf, some sort of lesser-known Lord of the Rings character, was selected by Democrats to direct the Congressional Budget Office. Nancy Pelosi is such a loser. [The Caucus] Michael Bloomberg has purchased the Clintons for New [...]
