Beryl, you might forgive Normie, but the rest of us will never forgive him until he is behind bars for the rest of his life.

He and Bushco caused so many of us poor to die – they are murderers and T-Paw is going to cause people to die in the streets with his unallotment.

I will never rest until all of those neo-cons are in prison.

God bless Barack. I can keep my house & get our from under my bills with help from the stimulus program. Colemen, T-paw, and Bushco tried to bury me. I and the American people are too smart to fall for their tricks. That is why we elected our hero, Barack Obama. And Michelle will occupy the Whilte House for 8 years and Barack’s 8 years.

Take that, you slimy Republicans.

One thing I’ve got to give Coleman credit for…he knows how to look like a martyr for public effect; like one last hurrah?

Consider this…first this blatantly bitter-faced ex-candidate managed to squeeze some wierd kind of martyrdom position out of his ugly, drag-out, vote counting, ad nausem bid to win; damming the process.

After closure from this elongated delay; after conceding in a most ‘humble’ manner, he managed to build his own cross in the process; polish up the two boards and then nail himself on the same two, for some kind of public sympathy? Wow…what can one say as he hangs there trying to look like J.C. himself maybe.

But in all honesty, he looks more like one of those other two guys who, historically, were hanging up behind (as the old story goes, hear what I’m
saying?)…the two behind J.C….robbers, weren’t they?

Now J.C. good man that he always was (’as foretold’ you could say)…would certainly forgive N. C for trying to fudge, copycat another’s martyrdom?
J.C. says I should too,so…

I forgive you Norm.

Gee, Mike, it sounds like you think that all lawsuits should be completely secret until they are finished? Or should just lawsuits involving politicians be secret? Were you in favor of keeping the Whitewater investigation secret until the proceeding was over? How about the impeachment hearing against Clinton? Shouldn’t that have been a secret until “all the facts were out”?

So let me understand the thinking here… it is ok to have these articles out there before all of the facts are presented but now before we have all of the facts in it is to soon to jump to the conclusion that Norm and the Texas firm did nothing wrong. (Sometimes I really wish I could live in this world.)

As for Norm making an apology to the Angry Al camp, why, all of the facts are not in, they could have orchestrated this. Wait, now I am confused, is this when we care about facts or not care about facts??

Alan is right. What justification is there for Norm’s wife to have a job with this company? It is simply a political payoff. She has no skills, that is why she is an unemployed actress.

And Norm is guilty. He should be put in jail and serve the rest of his life with a boyfriend rather than a bottle blonde at his side.

T-Paw needs to join Norm in prison. T-Paw & Norm lied. People died!

Having the company declare that it did nothing wrong is not surprising. It’s rather like Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney saying they didn’t do anything wrong in the decision making that lead to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Not surprising.

But also not the source I’d trust to learn the truth of the matter. It would be assuring to learn that the Colemans were not interested in such bribery attempts and refused them. Short of that, this piece is rather like a ‘dog bites man’ news story. T

And we still don’t know what Laurie Coleman actually does to get paid by this insurance company. Does she have any skills they’d want to pay for? Why isn’t anyone asking that question?

Hey Minnesota Independent – here’s another “HEADLINE” for you:

What a joke.

A “special litigation committee” named by “the company” says “the company did no wrong”. No members of the “special litigation committee” are identified. Are they all board members? Why not say who they are?

You want an apology based on that? Or didn’t you bother to read the details?

If the company has so much great evidence, then they can ask for summary judgment. Which they won’t get. If they had everything needed to get a summary judgment, they wouldn’t be dragging this out.

It will get settled out of court, with no one accepting blame. And everyone will be prohibited from ever discussing the case. It ends with a whimper, not a bang, as usual, in this thing we call a legal system.
