MUST READ LTE: “FRANKEN DISHONEST ABOUT COLEMAN’S WORK WITH PSI”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | March 13, 2008
This letter to the editor from U.S. Senator Norm Coleman's campaign manager Cullen Sheehan is a must read.
"Al Franken's tirades about Norm Coleman's tenure as Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations chairman can be summed up in one word: dishonest.
As chairman, Coleman focused the subcommittee like a laser beam on three major problems: fixing weaknesses in America's homeland security; rooting out fraud, waste and abuse in government; and bolstering consumer protection for vulnerable Americans citizens.
In each of these areas, Norm Coleman has a distinguished record of success." Source: Bemidji Pioneer, March 13, 2008

"Franken says Norm Coleman should have used PSI to conduct oversight of the Iraq War and Iraq reconstruction. Franken neglects to mention that other committees were holding hearings on the Iraq War and no fewer than 12 independent agencies were conducting oversight — to have PSI conduct duplicate investigations would have simply cost taxpayers more money while not likely yielding new findings.
As a point of reference, current chairman and former ranking member, Carl Levin, never called for, nor initiated any such hearings through PSI.
Norm Coleman and Carl Levin have worked together to make PSI one of the most bipartisan investigative committees in Congress. Together, they’ve done aggressive oversight that’s benefited Minnesotans, and the country.
In the end, Al Franken would rather fight political battles and engage in partisan showmanship and Norm Coleman would rather get things done." Source: Bemidji Pioneer, March 13, 2008

Michael, from your link, and your letter:
“His groundbreaking investigation into the credit counseling industry revealed practices swindlers were using with not-for-profit charities to prey on thousands of Americans who were drowning in debt. ”
ROFLMAO!!!!
And, of course, that debt has NOTHING to do with the loan-shark interest rates creditors were charging??!?
Tell me about the investigations ol’ Smokescreen held concerning, say, Universal Default, would ya?
You’re gonna lose this one, Michael.
BIG time.

I got to tell you, when it comes to people I trust, a man’s campaign manager is someone whose unbiased opinion in whom I can put a lot of faith.
It’s getting funny how few (unpaid) people are talking about Norm anymore. It is almost as if he doesn’t exist except for in references as Franken’s challenger.

Thanks Bill.
Imitation is the insincerest form of flattery, and you resemble that.
