[Politics/War] Normspank and the Smoking Gun

This was a fun read. And who might the Senator he was spanking, er speaking to be?... Norm Coleman, senator from my own state of Minnesota.

And, for those who have not read the most important news article in the last month (and possibly year), here it is.

Can we please, please, disown him? Citizens of greater Minnesota, you should have been forewarned when during the election, the former mayor of St. Paul (who ran for Senate on his mayoral record!) LOST the city he so ineptly governed. We voted for the other guy, and you should have, too.

I should add that if you get a chance to see the footage (CSPAN 2005-05-17) of Galloway's testimony, its even better. This guy took Coleman to town.

We should disown Norm. He's an opportunistic and venal puttana politician who came to Minnesota, ran as a Democrat, switched parties to the Republicans, and has moved ever rightward in his attempt to gain a base to support his naked policial ambitions. This guy's only real interest seems to be climbing the steps of power. I get the sense that he's willing to sell out any principle in order to get ahead. Having met him personally, the word that best comes to mind is 'smarmy'. There is an invisible layer of metaphoric greasy ooze that just covers this guy. Dump him next election. We can do better.
