Norm Coleman Has A New Job!

Always on the fence, har har.Norm Coleman, the humanoid Flowbee and lizard-king who represented Minnesota in the Senate, once, would like to be a senator again but the nasty courts are still legislating from the bench. So while he waits for whatever legal stuff to confirm that he is, in fact, a loser, he has taken a(nother) new, awesomer job.

Yes, America! There is still a single job left to be had in this country, and Norm Coleman took it.

He will be a consultant and strategic advisor to the Republican Jewish Coalition — a group so powerful that it managed to persuade a full 21 percent of Jewish voters to go for McCain in the 2008 presidential election. Norm Coleman will only add to their sterling lineup.

    Lots of elbow room at their balls.

    “Coleman would boost the group’s fundraising by tapping into his own network of donors.”

    Insert standard juvenile Republican sex scandal joke.

    Did Caroline Kennedy get shafted for this one too?!?

  4. bfstevie@yahoo.com says at 10:48 am, January 22nd, 2009

    Perhaps the Republican Jewish Coalition needs a new kitchen.

  5. Gopherit says at 10:49 am, January 22nd, 2009

    Eh, it pays the bills. See ya Norm. Don’t let that wife of your cuckold you too often now.

  6. Yes, the Jewish vote has always been really important in…. Minnesota?

  7. El Pinche says at 10:50 am, January 22nd, 2009

    I am very surprised !!
    Wait, ….I’m not.

  8. Special Agent Jack Mehoff says at 10:51 am, January 22nd, 2009

    The Republican Jewish Coalition would have done better at flipping voters, but who can get out in this humidity?

  9. magic titty says at 10:53 am, January 22nd, 2009

    Was this gig posted on Monster? Cuz I didn’t see shit …

  10. KristaJulieva says at 10:53 am, January 22nd, 2009

    Going off the picture, I was going to guess he was rehearsing for his role in a stage production of beloved nineties sitcom “Home Improvement.” But, no, Republican Jewish Coalition. That’s cool too.

  11. shanemacgowan: I read this as saying he will re-finance his house a 13th time.

  12. Darehead says at 10:57 am, January 22nd, 2009

    Great–he takes illegal money from Iranian businessmen and now works for the pro-Israel lobby….

  13. Doglessliberal says at 10:59 am, January 22nd, 2009

    He wants to move to Florida, where all the Republican Jews live, so he can be close to his new constituancy. Who can blame him? Minnesota in January…or Florida?

  14. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:00 am, January 22nd, 2009

    …Joe the “shyt for brains” Plumber must be pissed!

  15. Lets see, I think the pool does need a bit more algae cleaner added. That will be $1000 dollars for my consulting fee. Call anytime, my schedule looks pretty open for the next 6 years.

  16. grendel:
    I couldn’t make that connection, either.

  17. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:06 am, January 22nd, 2009

    “Strategic Advisor”? Hopefully this position requires him to relocate to the Gaza strip and wear a bulls-eye on his chest.

  18. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 11:06 am, January 22nd, 2009

    I could post a comment that is nothing more than me yelling “Norm!”, as a reference to an old teevee show I never watched, but I would get banned, and then beaten, aka “tenderized”, and roasted and fed to the lovely Sara K. Smith with some fine wine and delicious bread side dish. My point is, “Norm!”

    Humanoid Flowbees everywhere resent the comparison between them and this reject from “V.”

  21. Thegreatbacon says at 11:20 am, January 22nd, 2009

    They are actually showing him at his new job in the picture. He stands at a picket fence on Nicolet Mall in downtown Minneapolis, saying: “You look jewish. Come here. No, closer. Right up to the picket fence. That’s right. We’re like neighbors here, and that’s comforting. Now let me tell you about why we need to strategically control the oil production and distribution in the world in order to protect Isreal…”

  22. Thegreatbacon says at 11:22 am, January 22nd, 2009

    Also, politicians should travel with their own picket fences. They’d get a lot more votes if they were always glad-handing over a picket fence.

    Pictured above: Norm Coleman explains to bearded man how he caught his penis in picket fence. repeated use of the term “splinter” is used throughout.

  24. Noodle Salad says at 11:26 am, January 22nd, 2009

    Didn’t he just lose to a Jew? Does this mean Bush is going to be a strategic adviser to the Muslin Republican Coalition?

  25. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 11:28 am, January 22nd, 2009

    Norm needs a brick wall. That picket fence will never be able to hide his shame.

  26. OReillysVibrator says at 11:29 am, January 22nd, 2009

    This guy is remarkably douchey-looking, even for politicians. He looks like scientists tried to clone John Kerry but accidentally dropped fecal matter into the test tube.

  27. Cape Clod says at 11:29 am, January 22nd, 2009

    The Republican Jewish Coalition? I thought that was Lieberman’s gig.

    Here’s the article of Coleman’s housing financial fiasco. All those girl friends and high maintenance wife can’t be cheap. This just might be the closest thing he’s had to a real job.

    Oy that was a lotta snow!

    Wow, he must really have a lot of confidence in his eventual…oh waitaminnit…

    Or so I have heard

    Their inaugural ball was off the chain. I took a pic with Ron Silver and Snow brought the house down.

  34. GlennBecksFelch says at 12:02 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Norm Coleman = The Greatest Schlep

  35. Rodney Badger says at 12:06 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    I attended a debate between the head of the Republican Jewish Commission in California and some random Jewish guy picked up off the street. At any rate, all the RJC dude could talk about was how awesome it was to torture Muslims and how anyone who was against invading Iraq is a big pussy. In case you goyim don’t know, these sort of messages do not resonate with the Jewish community at large, and the one in Oakland in particular. Many people got up and angrily stormed out. The attendees were all extremely verklempt.

    My point: the RJC’s outreach is awesome and with Coleman at the helm, expect that 21% to plunge to single digits in the next election.

  36. you cannot be serious: The juxtaposition of “elbows” and “balls” makes me instictively cover mine.

  37. grendel: Somehow, that Senate seat has been held by one Jew or another since 1980 — Boschwitz, then (the sorely missed) Wellstone, then Coleman. Go figure.

    Kingbee:

    This is ’cause Jews are not required to wear those silly Viking helmets with the golden pigtails like everyone else in MN. This makes them appear more serious then their goyim counterparts.

  42. lawrenceofthedesert says at 1:11 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Coleman is taking over the position from Bernie Madoff, who retired recently.

  43. spymoose says at 1:23 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    I just got the invite to Norm’s Briss on the 29th.

  44. SpikeyDog says at 1:47 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    What a bag of crap this guy is. Slack mouthed poor looser. A Bush lap dog trying to find another master to suck.

  45. DeLand DeLakes says at 2:01 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    grendel: Sad but true, Grendel. In the shitty strip mall of a Minnesota town in which I grew up, I knew exactly two Jewish kids. This town of 60,000 has no temple, and the kids at the local state university still amuse themselves by drawing swastikas in the john. Scarab: Yet you are still 100% right on about the 1%. Must be all the oppression that drives them to succeed.

  46. Vanity Smurf says at 2:03 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Norm Coleman is the Baby Jane Hudson of the Senate.

  47. grendel: Despite Minnesota’s relatively small Jewish population, we’ve ended up with a Designated Jewish Senator seat: Coleman, Franken, Paul Wellstone, Rudy Boschwitz. One of the reasons Wellstone defeated Boschwitz was because Boschwitz sent his Jewish supporters a letter claiming that he was a “better Jew” than Wellstone, a letter that offended practically everybody.

    The political news here in Minnesota has two topics: 1) How the state is broke, and 2) How Norm Coleman is willing to spend an infinite amount of the state’s nonexistent money “to count every vote from people who would otherwise be disenfranchised.” Of course, last month Coleman’s strategy was to spend an infinite amount of the state’s money on guaranteeing that those votes would NOT be counted. Thank you, Norm, for being such a conscientious guardian of the taxpayers’ money.

    Republican Jewish Coalition: The most descriptive definition of a schande ever created!

  52. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:38 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    The important question is will Norm’s new job allow his wife to continue to live apart from him in California?

  53. peorgietirebiter says at 4:40 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    This can’t be a legit hire. Does anyone believe the Jewish Coalition needs Norm Coleman to buy Republicans wholesale? Come on people, you think they can’t figure the upfront savings against the costs of warehousing the irritating bastards until they’re back in office?
    Better to pay retail for Democrats, they got a nice selection and they’re in stock. They may seem a little pricey, but there’s no risk of being completely disappointed when you need them.

  54. Wont this conflict with his duties as Emperor of the Lizard people or do Jewish Republicans spend their days lounging on “hot rocks” and devouring crickets and baby mice also?

  55. blowhard says at 6:19 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    If 3% of Americans are Jewish, and 21% of them voted Republican, then doesn’t that mean that this coalition involves Norm, Norm’s bubbe, Eric Cantor, and Cantor’s bubbe? And Joe Lieberman.

  56. Oy vey Mr. Coleman. I am trying to remember why you represent Jews for McCain but I can’t remember why such a thing even exists. Who knew? Mechuggina, go find some respectable work and let Al do the heavy lifting. He’s a nice boy and knows from funny.

  57. DanginMpls says at 4:07 pm, January 24th, 2009

    Kingbee: Sadly, that streak was interrupted by a Goyish Dean Barkley for about 60 days in 2002-03.
    Jill7:Sadly, also Thomas Friedman.

    Naked Bunny with a Whip: Thank God you did it because I would’ve had to. Although, with Norm Coleman, it’s a tossup between that and “TEETH!”
