now THAT is some damn funny stuff.

Awesome. Al should put up billboards thanking all the Republican donors who are now suddenly contributors to his campaign.

And Normie needs to start saving up for his legal defense fund for his upcoming corruption trial.

 
oldebayer [TotalFark] 2009-05-24 09:59:45 PM  
At this point I am hoping Coleman's first name is something like "Normchawski," or "Normbelius," or "Normtasteefreeze," since I would hate to have the same first name as such a complete tool.

Coleman and the RNC should have to repay the the entire state of Minnesota after this is all overfor denying the state the right of two senators.

 
beer4breakfast 2009-05-24 10:35:33 PM  
Coleman is starting to look like Lewis Black.

 
Britney Spear's Speculum 2009-05-24 10:40:56 PM  
If they try to take this to federal court, the GOP will look like a bunch of hypocrites.

They do already but this should seal the deal for the next 2 years.

 
Bucky Katt [TotalFark] 2009-05-24 10:42:13 PM  
FTFA: the two campaigns are busy litigating yet another point: How much Coleman's campaign will have to reimburse the Franken camp for legal costs under the loser-pays provision of the election law.

So Coleman is tacitly admitting he's a loser. Only 11 more steps to go.

For the umpteenth time in the umpteenth thread, what's the point of making 'every vote count' if the people can't be represented adequately?

Befuddled 2009-05-24 10:50:22 PM  
It's a win for Franken but that POS Murdoch will just throw a book deal Coleman's way to pay for this.

Loser pays should only be in effect when it's a richer party bringing legal action against a poorer party.

 
Harvey Manfrenjensenjen 2009-05-24 10:52:26 PM  
Nice. Just as with pretty much everything else, "loser pays" is OK for politicians but not the rest of us.

oldebayer: That whole "apology" thing is really going to stick in his craw.

Franken should issue a press release stating, "we will forego any claims of reimbursement for legal fees if Coleman will publicly apologize for wasting everyone's time and being a whiny little biatch."

 
holiday_inn_in_cambodia 2009-05-24 10:53:23 PM  
coleman should pay all of it for his asshattery, all the millions.

Being the rightful Senator from Minnesota should be worth a few bucks at the pawn shop.

Wii.Tard 2009-05-24 11:24:04 PM  
Sandelaphon: wat?

Norm's "reason" for pursuing this asshattery of a fiassco is so that every vote gets counted.

You must be new to the race or something.

 
Kevua 2009-05-24 11:26:06 PM  
No, based on past events, all votes should count as long as they aren't Military absentee votes, and votes in mostly republican districts in Florida.

Coleman lost. The only question is how much more he can embarrass himself before this matter in finally resolved. A lot, I'm thinking.

You can't possibly be serious.

Wii.Tard:

No, I forgot that part of Coleman's "reasoning" and thought he was making some roundabout argument I couldn't quite follow against Franken.

Of course not, hence the pawn shop

Time to drop out and join the lecture circuit, Norm. Maybe write a book about losing to a wrestler and a comedian.

Yes, they should, in fact, if I were the AG, I'd sue them on the behalf of the State of Minnesota.

The GOP completely agrees with you about not counting military votes.

 
bobbette [TotalFark] 2009-05-25 12:22:37 AM  
The argument finds no support in the law. Rule 54.04 provides that costs and disbursements may be taxed by the court administrator on two days' notice

Not sexy enough

Franken can suck a mean dick... Hence, he is quite qualified to be a democrat senator

 
HairBolus 2009-05-25 01:07:16 AM  
I hope the Republicans are funneling enough 'love' to Coleman, because they essentially have had him destroy his reputation.

Well since Coleman is attuned to eating out an asshole like nobody's business, I'd say he's quite qualified to being a republican senator.

Ahahhhhahhhahhhahhhaaa..

since you two (RevMercutio + HairBolus) are well versed in the art sucking a mean dick, I'll let you two give the details.

I on the other hand will sit back and enjoy your responses as you try to convince the rest of us that blatantly false accusations aren't true.

Once this is all over, a Mr. Lizard People is going to want his recount.

 
Avatox 2009-05-25 01:32:35 AM  
And my question to many of you is if there had not been a 3rd party in the election, how much would have Coleman won by? Yes, a drunk ran on the libertarian party line and the majority of them would have voted for Coleman (Sorry you Franken asshole lickers, the majority of those lib votes would have gone to Coleman- honestly, not the best choice) but it shows that many in MN would rather that neither Franken nor Coleman would be best for representing them. Barkley? took enough of the vote to make this election this close and tied up in the courts; add to his that many of our soldiers that where overseas never had there votes counted (they probaly wanted the non sober one) and MN should have honestly just done another election between the top 2. Fark all of them for wasting so much press time, when the media could have been covering more important issues like (insert ANY topic here, I am sick of this farking race).

Dude. I was joking about Lizard People.

 
themindiswatching 2009-05-25 01:35:46 AM  
It's not enough that Franken, with the help of an activist state elections board and judicial system, stole the election from Coleman, but now Coleman has to pay off the people responsible? This is extortion, plain and simple. Sadly, if Coleman does pay off this bribe, he still won't get this position. The only logical conclusion here is that Democrats are dishonest scum. Fight this all the way to the Supreme Court, Coleman. Don't let them get away with it.

/am I doing it right?

And since you aren't able to actually make a coherent point, I'll dismiss you as another obnoxious troll and remind myself why Fark doesn't receive money from me anymore.

I can't even describe how not gay you're sounding right now. No, seriously. No gayness there at all.

Franken will probably be President in 2016.
