When even the unapologetic, rightwing, "Franken is stealing the election!" nutcases and conspiracy theorists at Powerline describe Coleman's legal case as being of "Three Stooges quality", you know these guys must really be falling apart.

2. Perfect photos!
I'm actually kind of surprised that Coleman can actually close his lips into a frown, over his gigantic teeth. I would have thought a grimace would have been his style.
