…Just too much comedy in this video of a Minnesota protest to summarize. So, one quote, from that goddamn Bachmann: “We have seen an orgy… The government spent its wad.” [YouTube, Dusty Trice]

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.

As Count Dracula and Oscar the Grouch wage their endless intergenerational war over who gets to be the other senator from Minnesota, current senator Amy Klobuchar has her hands full. You see, the good citizens of Minnesota have just one person to harass about their unemployment benefits or their third nipples or establishing a new holiday to celebrate cats. MORE »

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 child prison camps?, Ramesh Ponnuru dramatically makes the case that Coleman should give up the fight.

This woman, again! Paranoid imbecile and Minnesota baby-farmer Michele Bachmann has done the following things since we last wrote about her, probably a few days ago: She opposes foreclosure relief, even though her poor dumb district is, obviously, the hardest-hit part of Minnesota. Way to teach your constituents to buck up and get ready for armed revolt against the blacks, Michele! And, even better, she told some wingnut radio host over the weekend that all of America’s children — and many of them are also Michele’s children — will be forced into negroid re-education camps, exactly like Mao did to earlier generations, somewhere. You must listen to this. MORE »

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.” So in a few years Coleman could get a hearing date at the Supreme Court only to be beheaded by specially scarlet-robed crank John Paul Stevens.

Senator Norm Coleman is famous for so many dumb things: for getting his wife mysteriously teleported into a re-election campaign commercial, for sleeping in a drawer, for making publicly available all the information you would need to go on a million-dollar Truck Nutz shopping spree using his donors’ credit cards. Also he continues to fail at winning re-election to the Senate. With at track record like this, he’s only got one place to go in the Republican party: up. MORE »

We know that at least 89% of you were planning to donate to Norm Coleman’s campaign in Minnesota within the next five minutes but STOP STOP STOP AND BACK AWAY FROM THE INTERNET DONATION FORM!!! Because oh look at this, someone hacked into the Coleman donor list, accessed the *publicly available Coleman donor list* took down every donor’s credit card number and posted it all on Wikileaks in an Excel spreadsheet. Hmm, maybe Norm should take this humiliating opportunity to drop out of that 2008 election in which his loss has already been certified? MORE »

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. MORE »
