Al Franken has petitioned the Minnesota Supreme Court to provisionally seat him, after Governor Pawlenty (A Republican) and Ritchie (A Democrat) refused to issue a certificate. At this time, Franken is attempting to force their hand through the Minnesota Supreme Court.

In Minnesota law, the winner cannot be seated until legal challenges have been worked out. That is explicitly what the law says. But Franken knows that once he is seated, even provisionally, he won't be going back to Minnesota. No way, no how. This is clearly an attempt at an end run around the legal process. Coleman knows this too, which is why he is fighting it.

Those who have called Coleman a litigious SOB don't know Franken very well, because he is also a litigious SOB. Kudos to Pawlenty for standing pat, and kudos to Ritchie who, although a Democrat, has put the law above partisanship, as he promised before he was elected. And what do Pawlenty and Ritchie know that asshats Franken and Coleman don't? The law, of course. I think a remedial course in basic law should be recommended for both Asshat F and Asshat C.

Article is here.

They both are. whomever wins, Minnesota loses.
 
As long as the idiot Colemen loses then I dont care who gets the seat.

Alright Petey...put up or shut up. What makes Coleman an idiot or corrupt or any of the other things you listed?

(I have all ideas it is simply the R behind his name and Petey is just blindly cheerleading as usual)
 
am I the only one to find this a little unsettling?

I don't. I am not surprised at all by any of Petey's rabid outbursts. They are damned near pathological...he can't help himself.

1. He is under one if not several corruption investigations.

2. His handling of the Oil for Food hearings was... laughable.

Links, reports, sources. Anything but your rabid opinion?

You forgot also, Coleman murdered 6 million Jews. :roll:
 
Since when is this forum humor-free? Petey's not the guy who brought up Hitler in the first place, and whoever did so was baiting him by posting the picture.

No, Petey mouthfoamed all over the chance to compare a conservative to Hitler. It's his M.O.

And now we have it, folks. Coleman murders babies. Franken makes baby Jesus cry. Missing in all the hubris is the fact both are a couple of asshats.
