You have held a grudge against Norm ever since he circumvented the Minnesota Democratic hierchy by getting elected mayor of St. paul without your backing. He further frustrated you by becoming the most succesful mayor the city ever had even after leaving your party in the dust. Now your rage is palpable as he continues to be a thorn in your side by out working your current stiff. By the way...when does your guy, Angry Al, plan to show his face in a public forum next? Missed him at Grand Ol' Days and have'nt seen too many scheduled appearances on his website for any upcoming city parades or July 4th events. Admit it lefties.

Republicans obviously don't care about ethics or integrity, and this isn't gonna sway them. This is small on Norm's long list of disgusting political manuvers. BUT it will have some sway with Independents, and disaffected Repubs. Nice. Where is swiftboat in all of this? I'm waiting for his reality dodge on these posts....Seriously, If they don't care about FISA or war crimes, they won't have any trouble looking the other way on this one.

Could it be that she doesn't ever stay with Norm in DC?

Norm has made two fatal flaws in has career that will forever haunt him with the left: 1. Having the nerve to leave the Democratic party 2. Not voting exactly like Wellstone For that, people in the left-most 1/5 of the idealogical spectrum will attack him every chance they get.

I mean, if someone who Norm steered 1.6 Million in business to, helped to secure the Repub Convention - wants to save Norm $1700 a month in rent, by giving him an apartment for free, who are WE to question that? If he wants to not see his wife but once every 18 months - and have a reputation for ass-grabbing - again - who are we to wonder about Senator Snake-Oil's ethics.. I mean, ethics aren't important any more. that's so 90's/Bill Clinton hate-speech thinking. Oh, Matt, you’re values are so ‘yesterday’.

With that I take absolutely no issue whatsoever; what is problematic is that Norm isn't paying this guy anything, it's just a favor. Chuck Schumer splits that rent both because it's the right thing to do and because taking it as a gift may be a violation of the Senate ethics rules.

To them, this is simply bidness as usual. And making the rest of America care is a tough call. We have been so conditioned to the illegal and immoral in No Integrity Land for the past eight years, nothing shocks us any more. Not even this. Norm Coleman is living the BushCo dream.
