"Let the healing begin" - Norm Coleman asking Franken to waive his right to a recount after initial election day results showed the incumbent in the lead by less than 1%
"While our campaign remains focused on the recount, it's clear the Franken campaign is more interested in court challenges, U.S. Senate intervention, and making new commercials attacking local election officials." - Norm Coleman, November '08
Looks like the best advice for EX-Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman at the moment is his own.
After a state-appointed 3-judge panel declared Democrat Al Franken the winner of last November's senatorial race on Monday, Coleman now has 10-days to take his hissy fit/senatorial cock-block to the MN Supreme Court, wasting even more tax payer money and GOP credibility (oxymoron?) in the process. Coleman lawyer Ben Ginsberg (who HAS to keep a ready supply of shame-scrubbing Brillo pads in his briefcase) has already told the public he's planning on taking this dead horse - flies and all - to the Minnesota Supreme Court. I know if I were (MN Senior Justice/Greatest Defensive Tackle of All-Time) Alan Page, I'd probably say something along the lines of "Fuck your mother, Norm."

Elocution so often eludes me at crunch time.
(Also, whining to a man who lost 4 Super Bowls about losing just seems like it would be a fruitless endeavor.)
<<--- you wanna talk to THIS man about losing?

<<--- you wanna talk to THIS man about losing?Lucky for me, there are other people out there who are much more capable of verbalizing their dismay with the situation then myself. Fellow GOPer and former MN Governor Arne Carlson calls Coleman's constant appealing a "gross misuse of the American judicial system."
Former Republican congressman Joe Scarborough also elaborated on his MSNBC morning show (Jesus H. Christ on a Segway, who the fuck voluntarily wakes up to Joe Fuckin' Scarborough?): "When are the Republicans going to give up the ghost on this? Seriously. Norm, I like you. You lost, OK? It is seriously not fair to constituents in Minnesota to drag this out any longer. It's over Norm, OK? It's over."
So what does this all mean to you US citizens outside of the Land of 10,000 Lakes? Basically, what Coleman's tax payer-funded (can't stress this enough) temper tantrum is accomplishing is delaying the inevitable seating of Democrat number 59 in the senate, 1 less than needed for a filibuster-proof majority. That's it. He wants the Dems to have to work for TWO Republican votes instead of one.
Everywhere ol' Normy turns, the reply is "You lost." Not because of voter fraud. Not because of miscalculated ballots. But because YOU FUCKING LOST. Politician "A" (Franken) received more votes than Politician "B" (Coleman). That's all. That's what the Supreme Courts - state or federal - will tell you too. Unequivocally. You FUCKING LOST.

So keep kickin' and screamin', Norm. Please. Your less-than-elementary actions may cost the Dems one more vote for the time being, but the votes your asinine behavior may be taking away from GOP candidates in future elections are steadily piling up.
If I was Ben Ginsberg, I'd say it's time to pack it in and start your new career as a Crest White Strips model as soon as possible.
Also, fuck your mother.
