DNC To Coleman: Just Give Up

Why so pouty?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.

“Enough is enough,” a female voice says in a new DNC radio ad that is set to begin airing in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

[...] The DNC ad encourages radio listeners to call Coleman – even providing his phone number — and tell him “to stop putting his political ambition ahead of what is right for Minnesota.”

Remember when Minnesota used to have fun politics, or at least fun politicians?

  1. I think he should give up on the recount and appeals and dedicate himself full time to becoming Sarah Palin’s VP candidate in the next Presidential election.

    Go gracefully Norm. Find a bridge and take a jump. Just be sure and do right the first time. Because nothing is worse than a suicide chump.

  3. What is a “Minnesota”?

    Perhaps the ex-senator sould embrace his status as a D-lister and join Blago in Costa Rica:

    I actually feel for the guy. I had hair just like that when I was in high school and it hurts to lose — your hair.

    Today we are all the unemployed who aren’t relatives to the family outdoors fortune.

    Looking forward to seeing Mrs. Coleman’s hologram at the concession speech. Can they beam in an image of one of the Santorum kids, too, just for kicks?

    They should play that Aimee Mann song from “Magnolia” in the background of the ad. . .

  10. Mustang says at 10:34 am, April 15th, 2009

    Don’t you hate that female voice that is the “voice of reason” on all the political ads?

  11. ManchuCandidate says at 10:36 am, April 15th, 2009

    For some reason Normie with hair reminds me of this:

    And the sign said long haired sucky faced people need not apply
    So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
    He said you look like a fine corruptible young man, I’ll pay bills for you
    So I took off my hat I said imagine that, huh, me bribed by you

    woah!

    Sign Sign everywhere a Sign
    Dealing with Lizard People breaking my mind
    Count this, don’t count that, I’ll just ignore all the signs

    And the sign said anybody with fewer votes won’t be elected tonight
    So I jumped on the fence and yelled at the Senate, Hey! what gives you the right
    To put up a rule to keep me out or to seat my hated rival in
    If Yaweh was here, he’d tell you to your face, man Norm’s some kinda Winner…

    Sign Sign everywhere a Sign
    Dealing with Lizard People breaking my mind
    Count this, don’t count that, I’ll just ignore all the signs

    Now, hey you Mister! can’t you read, you got to be Republican and lie to get a seat
    You can’t even watch, no you can’t vote, you ain’t suppose to be here
    Sign said you got to have win a stupid election to get inside Uh!

    And the sign said only losers welcome, come in, kneel down and bend over
    After Repubs whacked my ass with a paddle by the end of it all,
    I didn’t have anything to say, so I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
    I said Fuck you lizard people for not electing me, I’ll see you in court assholes

    Sign Sign everywhere a Sign
    Dealing with Lizard People breaking my mind
    Count this, don’t count that, I’ll just ignore all the signs

    Coleman, a career politician, was beaten by both a professional wrestler and a comedian. Now, his skills as a lawyer have been bested by that same comedian. Is there anything else he thinks he’s good at, cause maybe we can find a mime or something to beat him at that.

  13. magic titty says at 10:39 am, April 15th, 2009

    SmutBoffin: Christ.

  14. Come here a minute says at 10:40 am, April 15th, 2009

    Norm needs to give it up, so he can work as a consultant on the Jim Tedisco for Congress election stealing project.

    Murphy Wins In Landslide, Unless Tedisco Does!

  15. engulfedinflames says at 10:43 am, April 15th, 2009

    norm used to be a dem. the opportunistic little bastard thought he knew which way the wind was blowing. his wife left him, his kids are assholes and he’s never seen a waitress he didn’t try to fuck. he’s an icky, icky nasty rotten oxygen thief. he can,however, chew through a log faster than a beaver.

    Last blood of the revolution!

    I’ve been saving this link for a time when it was good to celebrate what a douchebag Normy is.

    ManchuCandidate: Weird Al Yankovic?

  18. Cape Clod says at 10:49 am, April 15th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: Given that it is Minnesota, shouldn’t he just walk out to the middle of a bridge and simply wait for it to collapse?

  19. Brendan M. says at 10:57 am, April 15th, 2009

    Cape Clod: Too soon, bro. Besides, the stimulus package fixed all the bridges and stuff.

  20. Plasmasmell says at 11:15 am, April 15th, 2009

    The reason this is dragging on so long, to be honest, is because the official suicide bridge of Minneapolis is under construction (it was about to collapse, apparently!). Obviously Norm can’t kill himself until the Washington Ave Bridge opens up, because that is how we do it around these parts. So, blame Obama!

  21. LittlePig says at 11:23 am, April 15th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Some of your finest work. Bravo!

  22. LaughingLark says at 11:28 am, April 15th, 2009

    Internally valid: Your comment made my day. As much as I’d love to see Normy go away, I’d pay good money to see him defeated by a mime.

  23. spymoose says at 11:30 am, April 15th, 2009

    I’m confused. Isn’t that a photo of Ann “Cooter” Coulter?

  24. proudgrampa says at 11:41 am, April 15th, 2009
  25. WadISay says at 11:42 am, April 15th, 2009

    This could go on for a while. It’s worth a lot to both Norm and Laurie not to have to live with each other.

  26. hobospacejunkie says at 11:43 am, April 15th, 2009

    Let’s not forget to thank mullet-haired governor Pawlenty, that ‘dignified’ new-style republican who McCain almost picked for VP candidate, who refuses to certify “Me, Al Franken.” Pawlenty is putting country first, just like all republicans. I say whoever loses the next round of lawyering gets bukkaked on national TV. And Pawlently should get bukkaked just for being (not having) a huge fucking dick and inexplicably, a media darling. Fuck them right in the ear.

  27. Texan Bulldoggette says at 11:53 am, April 15th, 2009

    Don’t worry, Norm. We still have Bachmann to represent your fine state. (Snicker, snicker…)

  28. President Beeblebrox says at 12:01 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Meanwhile, at of this morning, Scott Murphy is up by 168 votes over “Landslide” Tedisco in NY-20. That urban-suburban hip-hop off-the-wall strategy is doing wonders for both Coleman and Tedisco, amirite?

  29. DeLand DeLakes says at 12:12 pm, April 15th, 2009

    engulfedinflames: One of my BF’s coworkers went to elementary school with one of Coleman’s kids. When asked what he was like, she responded, “I don’t know, he was always in the nurse’s office crying.”
    And just a minor correction, it was Coleman’s DAD who actually got caught fucking a waitress, in an alley. Also.

  30. Some day soon, Norm, the wrath of Saturday Night Live will fall on your head. You make Al Franken look statesmanlike even before he is given the office.

  31. rev_matt_y says at 12:23 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Internally valid: Most appropriate would be for a mime to beat him in a debate.

  32. erectiledisfunction says at 12:34 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Once, I dressed up my dick with a long haired wig and it looked just like Norm Coleman.

  33. Tommmcatt says at 12:37 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Cape Clod:

    Win, I say, win.

  34. Tommmcatt says at 12:37 pm, April 15th, 2009

    erectiledisfunction:

    That’s odd. I did the same thing with my ass.

  35. The photo’s great. Got one of Franken doing coke back on SNL?

  36. Joey Ratz says at 1:34 pm, April 15th, 2009

    BillyClubb: Yeah, me too. If Coleman had been blond, that pic’s not unlike me at 17. Of course, I’m bald now.

    ManchuCandidate: Fantastic. I’m still waiting for that album.

    BillyClubb: The original is by Five Man Electrical Band. I like the Tesla version myself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0tu_4Y_b_w

  37. LittlePinky82 says at 1:56 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I remember when Coleman said that he wouldn’t go to the Courts cause he was winning. Now he’s losing he’s disenfranchising the people of Minnesota. That’s enough of a reason to kick him out of that seat. LOL at Coleman’s hair. He’s he a punk?

  38. engulfedinflames says at 2:01 pm, April 15th, 2009

    DeLand DeLakes: i didn’t know about his dad. i have a friend who was working at a quality restaurant and he was RELENTLESS in pursuing her. also there’s the story of drunken norm thrusting his tongue down local “t.v. personality” robyn williams throat.also

  39. katrina says at 3:03 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Nahm’s dad got caught with a sex worker in a parking lot. Nahm hisself goes after waitresses,
    women shopping for grocery’s late at nite, and other “females” at parties in the western ‘burbs.
    He wears nice suits, tho. Even ask the FBI.

  40. Chuckie Jesus says at 9:48 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Minnesota politics has sucked ever since they killed Wellstone. I say this as a Mpls transplant.

  41. Ohio Wonkette Fan says at 9:53 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Wow, Norm’s picture looks totally like he is a fag/bitch who is looking for a “wide stance” encounter at the Minnesota airport with the former punk/homo Repug Senator from Dakota; I bet he swallows
