Norm Coleman, the hobo senator from Minnesota, rents a basement room from a Republican campaign consultant so he doesn’t have to sleep in the back of a freight car when he’s in Washington.

Last week, there was a big controversy in the Minnesota Senate race between Norm Coleman and Al Franken in which some Liberal Bloggers thought that Coleman’s wife, Laurie, was edited into an ad for her husband. Laughable!, responded the Coleman campaign, which has gone so far as to produce a response ad of Al Franken “green-screened” into Minnesota. It is STAGGERING. Your Wonkette has not laughed this hard since the start of the Iraq War. [YouTube]

Here’s a new ad for Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman, who by all accounts should be losing his re-election bid this year but will win because the Democrats have nominated an unfunny hack comedian, Al Franken, to challenge him. None of this changes the fact that this ad is grating on all the usual levels, but there’s a special terrible twist in addition! MORE »

So Intern Greg Wasserstrom, the longest tenured member of Team Wonkette, finally managed to whisk away posting rights from the New York Overlords and is now contributing a few times a day.

Hey, remember that hee-larious Al Franken crack he made about… wait, no, we don’t remember it either. That might be because the Franken camp is finding that being too funny will lead to losing an election, according to this epic Post story. We wonder how much effort that’s really taking. MORE »

This week, Nick Farr, Norm Coleman, and Thomas DeFranck were all spotted being various degrees of famous at various places by our spies and operatives. Voyeuristic fun, as always, is after the jump. MORE »

President Bush traveled to Minnesota to raise money for dirtbag Senator Norm Coleman, and while he was there he did a little favor for Governor Tim Pawlenty, who hopes to make a career of this whole Republican up-and-comer thing. The weeks-old 35W bridge collapse is now a federal emergency, netting Minnesota instant millions in federal aid, and the help of America’s favorite agency, FEMA. MORE »

Sleazy prick Norm Coleman wants the money of, but not necessarily to be associated with, universally loathed loser President Bush. Hey, the GOP convention is being held out in Minnesota next year apparently, and they haven’t even confirmed that Bush will attend. [Strib]

You can say at least one thing about the quality of Senator Norm Coleman’s character: He surely had no intention of being a GOP politician when this college yearbook photo was taken in 1971. Not even the most brain-damaged pothead would be photographed like this if he had even the slightest intent of running for national office. This is the picture of a young man resigned to his fate at the auto body shop. MORE »
