Norm never answered the question in the debate about whether he had proof of Franken’s or the DFL’s involvement in his legal troubles. That’s because he’s lying about that and he can’t offer proof. Norm knew this was coming and mentioned it almost a month ago. He could have dealt with it then.The jig’s up, Norm. You and Teddy Stevens will make nice cellmates.

The DSCC’s roll in Norm’s lawsuit?!

How about laughter that they just have to sit back and watch it play out?!

Anybody buy any insurance from Laurie lately???

MinnyDem, how is a person supposed to come clean about something he didn’t know about? So, if you aren’t clairvoyant you should go to jail or be tossed out of office? I’d also like to know how ambitious you and your circle of friends are, if you are shocked that a person can have several jobs and hopes.

If Norm wanted to make sure this wasn’t an 11th hour surprise in the campaign, why didn’t he come clean about it weeks ago? And what’s this about Laurie Coleman being a licensed insurance agent? I thought she sold Blo-and-Go, or was an “actress,” or something.

What are they accusing the Star Tribune of? Huh? This is the same paper that just endorsed Coleman, isn’t it?

I love to see Norm spend his final days defending his level of corruption rather than talking to the people about why they should vote for him (despite said corruption).

Why didn't the DFL and the MN GOP have a joint press conference on this one? I think we're all asking these questions. Considering the reporters on the story never saw those documents:

â€œNobody sent an anonymous package to me[, Paul McEnroe] or Tony [Kennedy]. And Tony and I have never talked to anyone in the Coleman campaign about where we get our information. We have no idea what he based that statement on. If he cares to share it, weâ€™d love to hear from him about it.â€

So who at the Star Tribune is helping the Coleman campaign by sitting on these documents and allowing Coleman to create this bizarre link? Coleman even put it in his attack ad! Also, the DSCC and the Star Tribune had no role collaborating in this. In fact, the Star Tribune condemns the use of their reporters in the DSCC piece. The real question here: why were those two reporters yelling out the story in front of all the rolling cameras from the media (as well as trackers)? They basically gave their story to the world right there! This is a story that has been worked on, not just by the Star Tribune but by many for a long time. Even Norm Coleman admits this story's being worked on as early as October 10th. So yeah, I'm curious why there's this whole Star Tribune envelope story, especially because Coleman uses it in his attack ad. Weird, isn't it? Seems like a planted distraction from the actual allegations.
