Strange bedfellows...

http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/senate/35382149.html?elr=KArks8c7PaP3E77K_3c::D3aDhUec7PaP3E77K_0c::D3aDhUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUU

Now "The Pendulum Swings to Franken" is a nice headline. To me it is an outrage that the curiously repellent Norm Coleman holds the Senate seat formerly held by Paul Wellstone, who was truly a liberal/progressive voice in the Senate. There is definitely something weird about Coleman, and it is not just because his ancient dad was arrested having sex with a woman outside a pizzeria, or because his wife has shady dealings, or that he has strange sleeping arrangements in D.C., or his teeth are strangely large and fake looking. I am surprised that the voters of Minnesota don't assert their good, clean mid-western values and send him packing, back to Minnesota.
