TPM also commented on Norm’s tales of economic hardship at the hands of the awful media. TPM wonders how Norm could have incurred expense when he never ever replied to any of their inquiries to either his senate office or his campaign staff.

Cue up Tammy Wynette

Sometimes its hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You’ll have bad times
And he’ll have good times
Doing things that you don’t understand
But if you love him you’ll forgive him
Even though he’s hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh be proud of him
‘Cause after all he’s just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

“Quick, Ma, hide the still,I think the Feds are comin’”…

If it wasn’t for the political poster/literature in the background, the image of Ma,Pa Coleman could be a photo image from the thirties…Appalachia during the Depression and the ‘family of man’, whomever, hoping to look natural for an unexpected photo-op with a roving cameraman looking for local color, “some of those down home hill folk”…and he found it.

I am wondering if there is some family connection between him and Rod Blagojevich. He is smelling more and more like him.

He needs to be tossed out on his ear!

There is a Huff Post article about Norm and the FBI today.

Here in fantasy land the apparent lack of integrity by our recently defeated senator seems to be nothing more than a footnote to the more important issues. Should we be surprised by this desperate move? Not really since Norm’s continuing effort to overturn the election results has sucked up millions. He’s not got much left and when he loses the appeal the carpetbaggers funding his legal team might decide to spend their money elsewhere. It’s s tough situation to be facing but I’m not shedding any tears.

The suit was brought by key employees in the Houston underwater services (oil rig repair) company, and stockholders who learned of how Coleman’s friend was using company profits. The suit was brought in the summer, but the judge imposed the standard 90 day cooling off period, which brought the actual filing date to about a week before the election.
In other words, there was nothing political about the suit. Also, how would the folks in Texas know that Coleman had a wife working in the insurance industry when no one in the Minnesota media knew about it until the lawsuit broke. Mr. K said, he was giving this money to the Coleman’s via this insurance firm, which had never before done business with the Houston firm.
As far as insurance is concerned. Not hard to get a license. Interesting that the brokerage the aspiring actress went to work gained its prominence in the field from cherry-picking top talent from downsizing alphabet houses in Chicago and New York City. The types of coverage these folks write is far more complicated than a homeowners or auto policy, and they have to know how to underwrite it, it’s not textbook.
Besides keeping Minnesota from having its two Senators, Coleman’s on K Street peddling for the far right extremists in Israel to stay engaged and pay off the Ted Steven’s -like remodelling he’s having trouble accounting for on his Minnesota home. No doubt, Norm’s got problems.

Yeah, that whole “blame the media” tactic worked great for Jesse Ventura too, didn’t it Norm? At least now Jesse can sit under a cloudless sky and comment accurately on your failed political career and gutless personality. What say you, Norm? You gonna sue Jesse for definition of character?

I need to buy some insurance. Does anyone have Laurie’s direct number? She’s the hardest workin’ insurance broker in Minnesota.
