1. “Thanks, Nasser, but I’m a size 9 1/2.”
2. Later, Coleman traded this in for 250 pairs of Bruno Magli loafers.
3. The Kazeminy recovery plan: Inflate the Shoe Bubble
4. “So THAT’S where they stashed the missing ballots. And there are apparently 877 of them.”
5. Norm Coleman’s new housing plan is designed to appeal to old women with many children.

There was a Norm Coleman who lived in a shoe
He had so many lobbyists, he didn’t know what to do.
He gave them some pork without any bread,
Then whipped Barkley soundly and put Franken to bed.

~ I guess I could have went with a sole/soul joke.

Despite evidence to the contrary, Coleman was confident he could fill Wellstone’s shoes.

Feeling emboldened, Norm ended the press conference, by displaying his evidence for the existence of ‘Bigfoot’.

Although, Norm’s secret six year project was impressive it failed to answer the one burning question…..why?

A few more:
The real source of Norm’s love for nuclear power – his love of giant mutated shoes, and the women who where them.
Step one of the GOP’s “Paul Bunyan Enforcer Bot” construction efforts were finally complete.
“One more of these and I will finally get Blue Ox daddy promised me for missing all my little league games.”
