Too early for

congrats to Al Franken but the democratic senatorial candidate has taken a giant leap towards assuming office...someday soon.
And if Norm Coleman is at long last out of a job, well it couldn't happen to a nicer guy short of seeing Saxby Chambliss finally getting the political punch in the nose he richly deserves.
Both these jerks are charter members of the infamous GOP class of 2002 a veritable schoolyard bully senatorial caucus devoted to the cause of their patron, President Bush. They said no to very little when at all and we have suffered daily because of it.
Coleman of course, had the "good fortune" to have his then opponent Paul Wellstone die in a plane crash late in the campaign, he managed to beat replacement candidate Fritz Mondale but only after using every Rovean trick in the book up to and including politicizing Wellstone's damn memorial service.
Class all the way.

Lackey's can be grimly amusing to watch in politics (think Scary Kerry Healey and her gubernatorial run in '06) unless they claw their way into any sort of power in which case they become insufferable and haughty. Well, as I always say, win ugly, govern ugly...and now it looks like Coleman is about to lose ugly.

Anyway, good luck to Franken, I hope he can hang tough.
