Not a Republican virtue

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/02/coleman-lawyer-were-finding-more-votes.php

I see that an appreciation of irony is not a Republican virtue. Here we have Ben Ginsburg of the Florida recount debacle, arguing that votes in the Minnesota Senate race should be counted once, twice and then some more. Unlike in the Florida 2000 election, the votes have been actually recounted. How do these people live with themselves? Easy, they believe that whatever they do to get power is the right thing to do. Meanwhile, the election haggling goes on and on, which is of course what the Republican's want. The longer it goes on, the more it will seem as though Franken's victory is somehow tainted, and the other important benefit is that there is one less Democratic vote, and a liberal one at that, in the Senate. Where is the ethics probe of Norm and why is it languishing? You would think that a business man funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to Norm through his cheezeball wife would make some news, not to mention his sweet rental deal, but these ethics issues are rarely mentioned by the MSM. Al Franken is generally refered to as former SNL performer, why isn't Norm mentioned as Current Senate Grifter?
