Reluctant GOP Senators Beg For Money On Loser Norm Coleman’s Behalf

Oh look, Norm Coleman’s still trying to be a Senator. Well, what does he want now? Here are his Republican friends telling us how important it is for Norm Coleman to keep his Senate seat. Uhh isn’t that up to the courts to decide? Then, at :58, Sen. Jim Inhofe gets to the point, that we should give Norm Coleman lots of money, presumably for his legal funds. Get to it, America! You may not have a job or a house or savings or even a SINGLE AMERICAN DOLLAR, but Norm Coleman needs some cash ASAP! [YouTube]

    Chop chop people, Norm’s Botox ain’t gonna pay for itself!

    What is it about Lindsey’s face that makes me so simultaneously furious and nauseated? He has to be the only man that I have this much loathing for who is not an ex.

    Can we send them cans of hobo beans and truck nutz?

  4. I was going to play a “oooh, who do I hate the most???” game with all the speakers, but then McConnell kicked it off, so that question was answered in the first 3 seconds.

    Al Franken is the Republican’s ANTICHRIST!!
    Pony up are be part of the ‘Left Behind’!

    Begging? Begging only works if you are a dog, have puppy dog eyes, great legs/boobs and know how to use them.

    This Youtube equivalent of foot tapping or humping my leg doesn’t work.

    Inhofe is so cute when he tries to pronounce “accurate”.

  9. Hooray For Anything says at 5:06 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Luckily, now that the stimulus bill has passed, people will have the extra money lying around to help Norm Coleman’s legal fees.

  10. gjdodger says at 5:07 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Instead of giving Norm Coleman money, can I just use the money to wipe my ass and flush it down the toilet? It’ll have the same effect.

  11. lulzmonger says at 5:08 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Only way he’s going to get any serious green is if he registers himself as a charity (which I wouldn’t put past him) - assuming he can get his “Charge Of The Light-Headed Brigade” thang on before the indictments come down, that is.

    Keep your money … you know it’ll all go to rent-boys & drugs anyway.

  12. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:09 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Meh. I’m not convinced until Lindsey’s mascara runs like Tammy Faye Bakker on a crying binge.

  13. Gorillionaire says at 5:11 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Victoria Jackson has cut back to four tubs of butter a day so that she can send the savings to Norm.

  14. Mr Blifil says at 5:14 pm, February 18th, 2009

    If he needs some quick scratch, Norm could consider putting his teeth up on eBay. Worked for Sister Sarah’s plane. Except for it didn’t (nobody bid on the plane).

  15. Gopherit says at 5:14 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Shit, the republicans don’t need any help. The spineless senate dems are handing them everything they want anyway.

  16. SayItWithWookies says at 5:15 pm, February 18th, 2009

    “Remember — only your money can help this member of the anti-trial lawyer party have his day in court so he can overturn the will of the peo — uh, fight for you.”

  17. Monsieur Grumpe says at 5:16 pm, February 18th, 2009

    The Norm/Franken ruckus is on the news daily here in Minnesota and it has gotten very old and boring. It’s time for a Midwest Wrestling Death Match complete with a molten hot dish pit, an icy sidewalk race and Fargo style wood chipper duel.

  18. Boy, Lamar Alexander sure isn’t looking so hot. I can see why the exclamation mark has long been removed from his first name.

  19. Internally valid says at 5:21 pm, February 18th, 2009

    I liked the last guy from NC the best (Burr or something? Never heard of him). He couldn’t keep a straight face and almost laughed every time he said “Republican.”

  20. Internally valid says at 5:23 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: That may be the best way to get Jesse Ventura in this race, at long last.

  21. Red Zeppelin says at 5:27 pm, February 18th, 2009

    I was going to tell Lindsey to eat a bag of dicks, but I think he would enjoy it.

  22. qwerty42 says at 5:27 pm, February 18th, 2009

    maybe we could send money/drugs/whatever to Michele Bachmann

  23. Styrofoam Boots says at 5:28 pm, February 18th, 2009

    So, if I give Norm some money, what percentage goes to his wife?

  24. SayItWithWookies says at 5:29 pm, February 18th, 2009

    AnnieGetYourFun: He’s got a rare mix — baby fat in the face plus the pulled-back skin of someone who’s had a lift done. It belies both callow insecurity and the unfulfilled vanity of a fading gay dandy. Clearly anyone who spends as much time as he does in front of a mirror every morning with a “natural” bronzer and a powder puff has managed to snuff out any native intelligence that might’ve been struggling towards the sunlight in that little rodent brain of his. Not that I’ve given this much thought or anything.

  25. V572625694 says at 5:31 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Josh Fruhlinger: Who knew he was still in the Senate? After you get a demeaning nickname (”Plaid Man Walking”) from Mary Matalin, it’s pretty much obligatory that you disappear. But think about what might have been had he won in — what was it — 1992?

  26. Judas Peckerwood says at 5:50 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Norm is so sure that he’ll be staying in the Senate that he went out and got a new job shilling for the Republican Jewish Coalition. Talk about unshakable faith and commitment!

  27. Hey Wonkette, how about a warning for those of us who can’t stand to see one after another Southern white middle aged jowly male face drawling on about how us’ns need to buy this old boy back from them Jew-boys he’s working fo’ now?

    Internally valid: I think he was supressing a snicker thinking about how pathetic it was to say, “We need 42 Republicans in the US Senate.”

  28. AnnieGetYourFun says at 6:08 pm, February 18th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: OMFG. The bronzer. I can’t believe I didn’t notice that. I worked at Sephora, for fuck’s sake.

  29. hockeymom says at 6:16 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Norm needs money, but it’s for a new addition on his house. PAY UP, TAXPAYERS! MASTER SUITES DON’T PAY FOR THEMSELVES!1!1

  30. nrkeyqueer says at 6:42 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Lindsey sounds jutht THUPER!

  31. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 6:48 pm, February 18th, 2009

    Come on, people. If Norm can’t stay in the Senate, he will have to live with his wife. Hell, you might as well just throw him out of the Republican party then.

  32. The is ad was paid for by Coleman in ‘08. Nice.

  33. DustBowlBlues says at 7:40 pm, February 18th, 2009

    A little bit of money could make a difference, my own Sen. Inhofe? What? Are you suddenly channeling out of work UAW workers? Fuck you, fuckers.

    And from now on, Lindsay Graham has to be represented as R-Closet. Still can’t remember the member of the wonkeratti who invented that one, but it’s genius. BTW–Lindsay sounds a lot gayer than he did before he started campaigning with his best pal, John. Coincidence?

  34. DustBowlBlues says at 8:38 pm, February 18th, 2009

    whiskey tango foxtrot: Inhofe does have trouble with accurate, doesn’t he? What a moron.

  35. Is this the same Norm Coleman that couldn’t beat Al “our pal” Franken in one-on-one or is this a new, improved lawyered-up Norm Coleman? Is there any significance to the fact that only Thune, Murkwoski, and Burr are up for re-election in two years? Isn’t Murkowski a furrin name? Ruski, perhaps? Why didn’t Dr. No (R-OK) and St. Ron of Paul (R-Tx) appear in this video? For that matter, why didn’t Norm make an appearance?

  36. Norm Coleman, man. I don’t know. Have you seen this guy? I mean, he’s ugly and that’s a big deal, but I don’t feel bad saying so because he’s such an asshole.

    But he sort of HAS to be, doesn’t he? A life spent being pelted by fruit and forced to live in the sewer will do that to you. His only friends are the rats, who don’t realize what an abomination he is. They don’t judge him. And yet he must eat to survive, and so he is forced each day to devour a few of his companions, sobbing between bites.

    And all of that fat just goes straight to his enormous monster head.

    Tragic ugly bastard. Even if you don’t win, you’ll always be Senator of the Sewer Mutants.

  37. Excellent photo below considering how long it took to floss the dog pubic hair from his dentures and then soak them overnight in Lucky Strikes butts.

    BTW: Boehner sounds like he is testifying at his own federal indictment.
    Time.

    i just can’t get over how gay lindsey graham is.

  39. Ronnie Dobbs says at 12:17 am, February 19th, 2009

    not that there is anything wrong with that…

    He should just ask Burris. He’s a great fundraiser, I hear. Or at least willing.
