Maybe Laurie Coleman worked for a company that had so little support that it went bankrupt and couldn’t pay her what she wanted. Oh, wait, that was Al Franken’s employer.

Attacking a candidate’s wife is pretty deranged. Maybe you should look into getting booster shots for rabies.

Maybe you should rename your blog incorporating your new handle. I think we should all have a contest to help old Flounder out.

Looking forward to the “Name Flounder’s Blog” contest.

Please start submitting your entries.

So, what you’re sayin’ here, is ol’ Smokescreen has never held a private sector job, and his wife is a failure in private businesss (otherwise, she’d have some income from Blo ‘n Go).

Sounds to me like you’re backin’ a chump.

I was referring to MDE Exposer.

Go ahead and attack Coleman’s wife over this baseless B.S. you’re peddling. I can imagine how many professional women will take great offense to this smear. Given Franken’s failure to pay taxes in over 17 states, your party has no credibility on this issue.

And anything that pays the bills should be reported as income. I think it’s time for Norm to come clean with his wife’s income. Thousands of law-abiding Minnesotans dutifully report all their household income when the law requires it. Does Norm Coleman? It appears he doesn’t on his Senate disclosure form. Does he report it on his taxes? Let’s have a look.

Where’s the DFL on this anyway? Is anybody home over there? Hello?

Including her husband, she says. “He’s proud of me. He’s happy as can be — in fact, he’s used it. Every once in a while, he gets out of the shower and uses it.

“Anything that helps the family and pays the bills is good.”

Press secretary LeRoy Coleman (no relation) confirms that the senator is “indeed proud of his wife and proud of the product.”

But after a little thought, he changed his mind about rounding up a quote from his boss — thus depriving us of a public record of Sen. Norman Coleman (R-Minn.), up for reelection this year, commenting on a Blo & Go”.
Sounds like Mrs. Coleman might have contributed more than $1000 to the family budget.
Team Coleman knows this is BIG:
Did Norm Coleman misrepresent his wife’s business income on federal forms?
Is Blo & Go a flop and there is no income from sales?
Do Al and Norm have the same accountant?
Can Team Coleman spin this away?
Will the Sheeple fall in line and not question the Coleman’s possible federal tax problems?
Should the DFL demand an investigation into this?

Wolf Wolf

That’ll do Sheeple that’ll do

Republicans seem to always have such hot wives, yet look at what the poor left gets, Pelosi, Clinton, Rowley, Wilde…

Is that what has you so upset puddles?

I wonder how many Minnesotans are gonna see THAT picture, this election cycle??!?

Oh, and BTW – Did Laurie report that income?

Funny, talk about brown shirts and censorship, the only banning I know of going on is MN Pooplius and democRat underground.

Uh, no, No Kahunas, the only banning ever being done is at Minnesota Rethuglican conventions, remember?

And you wanna know what’s funny about all this Blo and Go stuff? Laurie’s business partner in Blo and Go is the same p.r. flak who pimped Laurie’s Penthouse photos to the Washington Post:

And you’re saying this guy isn’t above using sexual innuendo to sell Laurie Coleman?

Seems only a guilty person would hide from this request.

What is Laurie Coleman hiding?

Did Andy give you dolts a cookie on the way out?

Brodkorb, your headline on this story says that this is a fact-based response. What facts do you have to know that Coleman’s wife did not receive over $1,000 of earned income from this venture. Are you saying that she licensed the rights to this product and that’s not “earned” income? What facts do you have to know that Coleman received no income from letting his name be used to endorse a product? There is probably implied income that he is liable to report for such an endorsement (unless you want to acknowledge that there is zero value to Senator Coleman’s name!).

At this point, nobody has any facts on their side to substantiate any of the accusations against either Coleman or Franken. A pox on both your houses until you get some real facts.

You respond to two different people. You didn’t see where I showed that you don’t know what happened in Florida.

Oh I forgot when the facts aren’t on your side you just lie or ignore it.

What unprofessionalism!

I do believe that she does pay taxes. I think the Coleman’s (and somebody correct me if I’m wrong) files a joint return and she reports her income as part of the joint return. Thus the taxes are paid.

Oh lets not forget properly reported and paid on time!

Good to know how sexist you all are in implying that laws are only intended to be followed by men.

Funny, talk about brown shirts and censorship, the only banning I know of going on is MN Pooplius and democRat underground, I believe those are lefty blogs there little puddles.

How’s the “man up” going for you puddles? Did you exchange your combat medals for more real looking set yet?

Chris, you don’t KNOW that. Pure speculation, or -if you will – tossin’ crap up against the wall and hopin’ it sticks.

republiCon Ron repeated several times HE didn’t “kow” that; but you do?

GMA(C)B.

republiCon Ron (who has his own Shoddy Paperwork problems, with the FEC) throws crap against the wall, and you’re all over it.

I throw crap on the wall, and you have a hissy fit.

What a wuss.

Maybe we can get everyone to hound Michael to do just that.

He was hating life when no one would go read his shit blog, thus, he hangs out here for exposure, take that away and watch him have a Hatch like meltdown.

Unlike Franken who reported California business activity on his U.S. Senate disclosure form (after saying he had no business activity in California), you have no evidence that Mrs. Coleman has anything to do with the company that markets Blo and Go. Just because she created the product (as indicated by the web site) doesn’t mean she has anything to do with the day to day operations or receives ongoing income from that particular company. Two Putz, for all of your name calling and B.S., you put the RAT in DemocRATs.

I have shown that it was Al Gore who cheated to win Florida not Bush. You then never made an effort to refute the facts and instead repeated your lies!!!!!

So you liar why don’t you go to your website and post your lies there. This website only cares about the truth.

Again, Tom has proved to us that the public schools in MN are just as bad as Education MN makes them out to be (at least during budget years).

An adult male who sits around a computer all day, trying to scream harder and louder than the rest of the kids, just to get himself noticed.

Seems to be some underlying psychological problems with Tom here…..maybe the DFL can find enough time in their busy committee schedules to continue screwing the taxpayers by implementing some sort of government managed and funded program to aid Tom in his misery.

How can life in Minnesota be so awful and tough if you are a committed Democrat?

Tom will find a way to piss and moan at Republicans for his life’s problems though.

Damn—this is why I don’t want to have kids.

ROFLMAO!!!

Yes, MtPC, this is a real playground, here…..

I am kind of surprised the VFW has not barred you from coming in with the lies you tell.

did you have a point to make, MtPC?

Somehow, I don’t remember you ever criticizin’ little stones, NotSoSwiftly, ChestNuts, rePete, or any of the other Usual Suspects that congregate here.

IOW – sour grapes from a clown that’s fine when his side does it, but bitches and moans when the other side does.

Laurie Coleman has 2 sources of earned income listed on Norm’s disclosure form.

The first is a salary with the Hays Companies in Minneapolis. That is an insurance firm in the IDS Center.

The second is a salary with Bell Phillip Telephone in Los Angeles. That is a production company.

That means there is no disclosure of Blo N Go income.

Sounds to me that the letter sent to California authorities by Two Putt raises the exact same issues as the one sent by Carey.

The only way that Brodkorb can make this a non-issue is by knowing that 30 of these things have never been sold in California in the same year. Mikey, what facts do you have to know that isn’t the case? Why can’t people speculate with Coleman in the same manner as speculation as done with Franken? It seems that Coleman needs to answer the same questions being put to Franken about potential unreported sources of income.

I read your post. I also know that I couldn’t even look at my own Mom if I made the kind of comments you have made against someone else’s Mother — or made the post that you made. You may not like that you are now having to defend your degrading comments about some guy’s wife or some kid’s wife — but, you made the post, now live with it.

I will tell you that my brothers would have kicked the snot out of me for ever having made the kind of comments you made about a woman, a Mom and a wife — and my Mom and Dad would have both been ashamed.

Of course, you are proud of your post, so shame really isn’t an option for you.

I thought not.

Well, the republiCons are busy, tossin’ crap up against the wall, to see what sticks.

Wait’ll the state o’ California gets my letter!!!

The GreedOverPrinciples party throws crap up against the wall to see what sticks, and then bitches when it’s done back to ‘em.

What a bunch of wusses.

And for the record: I did e-mail that letter to the State of California.

Chairman Ron (who has a big ol’ Shoddy Paperwork problem, himself) stated clearly and repeatedly he did not know if Franken had a problemo in California; likewise, I never claimed Coleman has a problem.

I’m just doin’ what republiCon Ron did, and am challenging the State Of California to investigate.

By the way, nice to see Laurie is using the office of U.S. Senate to sell her little Blo and Go. Nothing like a prominent spouse to get your sales humming.

It takes a pretty weak person to attack some guy’s family. I don’t care who does it, Democrat or Republican. It lacks courage and it lacks character. You should feel pretty proud of yourself for doing the same kind of garbage that you “….got that stuff from your side” from.

I thought they’d started a comedy club for shortbus members.

You remember, doncha? El Druggo, callin’ Chelsea “The White House dog”?

Doin’ the ol’ push-poll deal to McCain, in South Carolina in 2000? Remember that one, where republiCons insinuated McCain’s adopted kid was black, and illegitimate to boot?

You republiCons go ballistic when the crap you do unto others, is done unto you.

Cry me a river, pal.

And then go (cheney) yourself.

Somehow, I figure you’ll get a fake ID before then, ’cause that’s the kind of punk you are.
