5. Why would that be a surprise of any note?

Please tell me.

6. To you and me, it's not

But watch Fox and Drudgeland get all hot 'n bothered about it in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ...

It's got at least one news cycle of life in it, even though it should have none. With any luck, voters will be repulsed by the transparent attack and will vote for Obama in even larger numbers.

7. If bloggers don't give a shit, the news media can't go far.....

because it means nothing.

It's like if McCain's brother was an alcoholic. Who gives a shit...other than us.

Now, if we end up with 30 threads on it, than yeah.....it might become a Hot item.

3. Not for Norm: A second lawsuit filed against Norm Coleman!

(And Franken had nothing to do with it)

A second suit was filed Friday, alleging money was improperly sent to the senator's wife. The Franken campaign denies any link.


http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/senate/336...
A second lawsuit was filed Friday by minority shareholders who allege that a close family friend of Sen. Norm Coleman used a marine company in Texas to pay $75,000 to the senator via a Minneapolis insurance company where Coleman's wife, Laurie, is an independent contractor. The suit attributes the allegations to a "confidential source."


It is obvious that Norm's defamation lawsuit against Al Franken was filed just ahead of these lawsuits on purpose. He knew they were about to be made public. He is hoping to pull the wool over the eyes of MN voters by claiming that dirty politics is behind it all. Time for the media to take these allegations seriously. They are covering up for Norm. Write LTTE, TV stations, and Star and Trib demanding that the media cover this big story.
