full article at link.

here's the gist:

Norm Coleman is a fool.

Not an ideological nutcase, not a partisan whack, not even a useful idiot -- just a plain old-fashioned, drool-on-his-tie fool.

The U.S. media, which thrives on official sound bites, was more than willing to lend credence to Coleman's overblown claims about wrongdoing in the UN program...

Even as Coleman's claims became more and more fantastic, he faced few challenges from the cowering Democrats in Congress.

But when Coleman started slandering foreign politicians he exposed the dramatic vulnerability of his claims that the supposed scandal was much more than a blatant example of U.S. corporations taking advantage of their powerful connections in Washington to undermine official U.S. policy, harm the national interest and profit off the suffering of the poor.

The Senate investigation that Coleman sought regarding the Oil-for-Food program has already revealed that the Bush administration failed to crack down on widespread abuse of the oil-for-food program by U.S. energy companies, and that U.S. oil purchases accounted for the majority of the kickbacks paid to Saddam.

2. I watched the video of his performance with Tweety

and commented that somebody needs to tell him "speed kills." Honestly, he was completely incapable of stringing words together to form a simple declarative sentence, and was speed rapping and rambling just like all the meth heads I remember from the 60s.

On edit, this is the link I found: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/thenation/20050518/cm_thenation/12544_1

The whole article is a scorcher.
