UPDATED with new video clip from Rachel Maddow’s show. UPDATED again with video of Klobuchar on CNN.

Norm Coleman isn’t the only Minnesota candidate for U.S. Senate to exhibit a mild case of hypocrisy while pressing his case in the media lately.

And on the fourth day they rested? Minnesota’s top two elected officials spent the last three days talking economic stimulus on the airwaves and cable lines of two supposed bastions of liberal media, MSNBC and National Public Radio.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty told MSNBC on Monday that Republicans need to allow President Barack Obama to carry out his agenda, particularly with regard to fixing the economy.
