What a slob.Norm Coleman is the apparent loser of a thirty-year war in Minnesota against the unfairly diapered comedian Al Franken. Coleman does not believe he has lost, though, so Democrats are doing their best to drive that message home by totally fucking with him in a million petty little ways.

First, they took him out of the Senate phone book, ZING. Mean old Dianne Feinstein says he’ll be locked out of his offices in the Hart Senate Office building forever. Even his own Web site has dumped him, which means his Web site is a Democrat. Truly, this is the saddest day for Norm Coleman since his wife hologrammed in from another city and told him to take out the trash.

So he was the guy in Clerks.

Wait, Coleman is a PUMA?

…cue the music from the end of the 1980′s “Incredible Hulk” TV show!

God, that picture!! He looks like the dirty hippie boy in my high school who got routinely dragged into the principal’s office for wearing a dress to school and threatening another Columbine.

I’ll bet you his mother is looking at that photo of Norm and muttering, “I tried to tell him.”

Where will he go now where everybody knows his name?

Isn’t Norm Coleman related to that creepy sportscaster, Sid somebody, who was on Imus and said something (I forget what) so disgusting even Imus fired him?

[re=214147]PsycGirl[/re]: No, he’s the mad PUMAs dream of. He won’t ask to have sex with them and will treat them like nice (beard) wives.

This is a sad tale, as old as time. Falling from the top of the world to Viagra addict, washing car windows and begging for hand jobs.

Terry January 9, 2009 at 11:21 am

From that photo, you’d expect that young Norm (he HAD to have a nickname) had extensive knowledge in the construction of homemade bongs.

Advocatus_Diaboli January 9, 2009 at 11:22 am

It’s over, Norm, so just sit back and spark a doobie (or as they said in Maine, “spaahk a doooob”)

HairyIckey January 9, 2009 at 11:22 am

Oh sweet Jesus tittyfucking Christ, that’s actually him?!? For realz? I thought you clever folks ‘shopped his face onto a promo pic for that Bigfoot movie from the 80′s!

Norm Coleman is proof that reefer is harmful; it will transform you from a metal head to a slimy Republican tool.

[re=214157]Violenza[/re]: He looks just like the guy at my college who wore a sword strapped to his waist and a long cape every day. He, of course, lived in the Dungeons & Dragons people’s off campus house.

Ahneta January 9, 2009 at 11:27 am

Minnesota’s got to be the saddest state to be unelected in. They’ll vote for Ventura or vaguely humanoid lizards, but not poor Norm. Then again, if he’d flashed this picture around, he could have passed for a Wayne’s World side character and made this an all-SNL race.

At least this picture pre-dates his horrible Cosmetic Dentistry Gone Wrong. It freaks me out that every time he shows up on TV, his teeth are longer. I think Dr. Milnar implanted beaver teeth that just keep growing and growing. Norm needs to spend more time with a big, fat piece of firewood.

Rosenberg on Kylie Minogue: “She ain’t gonna be so beautiful when the bitch got bald head and one titty,” which is patently untrue. He now has his own show in Miami, which will presumably be co-hosted by Coleman once this election is over, in 2136.

Too bad for Norm. If he needs something to take his mind off things, me and my buddies were going to buy some beer at the 7-11 and listen to Pentagram records. Maybe he could join us and rediscover his roots.

[re=214189]Ahneta[/re]: Some de-elected Minnesotans simply become un-persons, Jesse “The Mind” Ventura and Wendall Anderson being examples. Wendy was governor in the early ’70s, famously on the cover of Time, then he appointed himself to the US Senate, which we don’t do here. Now he pads around in Hushpuppies in downtown Minneapolis, to no apparent purpose, smiling amiably and hoping to be recognized. I see a future for Norm in sex tourism.

Norm Coleman is easily one of the douche-iest-looking politicians of our time. He looks like scientists tried to clone John Kerry but somebody didn’t wash their hands and got fecal matter in the test tube.

TheUptightMidwesterner January 9, 2009 at 1:04 pm

This is the history of the dink in one large run on sentence.

Norman- radical campus hippie prstestor, took over a campus office or building, roadie for 10 years after, “community organizer” attorney, moved to Minnesota for whatever reason, bright and shiny democrat, ardent admirer of Wellstone, recruited by Repubs for better chance at higher office, made the switch, called Wellstone “radical” and “dangerous”, somehow morphed into Lurch from Addams Family, said he had a religious awakening during Yom Kipuur and called for a halt to negative ads only after polls showed he was losing points due to the ads, called for Franken to concede and do the right thing for Minnesota, now has 15 lawyers tying up everything to drag this damn thing out.

Good job, and may I add: the 80-something dad getting caught with the hooker in the parking lot, Nahm’s well
known, but completely ignored by the MN media “skirt chasing antics” including trolling grocery stores at nite l
looking for action, AND whilst decrying the neg ads publicly, was running (reportedly not MN Nicely, either)
for the Rep. Senatorial Committee chairmanship that was running said ads–too bad Cornyn was running for
that, too…..that’s about the time the head of the TX company came out with the still pending charges of
horrible horrible payola to the Blow and Go “wife”.
Oh, and getting bitchslapped publicly by the silver tongued Galloway a few years back.
Plus, he has no trucknutz.
