Just making the point again for Mark Craft – that Paul McKim isn’t the Paul McKim we’re talking about.

Still, the “right” Paul McKim is a Republican, his lawyer says:

Al Frankens commercial is incorrect.

Norm Coleman is not the 4th most corrupt congressman he is definitely #1.

This isn’t some sort of smear effort by the Democrats.

The plaintiff, Paul McKim, is a prominent REPUBLICAN businessman who has donated repeatedly for the Republican party!

And yet, Coleman’s people call this lawsuit “vicious” and “defamatory”, filed for political purposes. By a Republican…

“Defamatory” is a codeword for saying that Coleman’s lawyers might once more waste the Minnesota taxpayer’s money by filing a frivilous defamation lawsuit against Mr. McKee of Houston, TX… only to drop the lawsuit later, after they get their publicallly indignant posturing out of the way, because they *KNOW* they don’t want this going to court!

Expect Coleman’s close friend Nasser to bail him out on this by offering McKim a lot of money to drop the lawsuit, on the condition that McKee can’t ever discuss the case or the terms of the settlement again.

“My wife has been devastated by this. She turns on her computer and reads on the blogs the most personal, vicious attacks impugning her integrity and trying to destroy her ability to do her job.”

Does Laurie Coleman google herself a lot, or what?

I’m not giving any credence to the Texas lawsuit, but how the heck is Norm conflating that with the Franken campaign without any real evidence? Franken’s claim of “fourth most-corrupt senator” may be bogus, but so is Coleman’s accusation that Franken had anything to do with the Texas lawsuit, much less than he has attacked Coleman’s wife or family. Contrary to Coleman’s recent pledge, it sounds like he is still firmly planted in “gutter politics” with Franken.

I bet Jesse is wishing he would have entered this race!
