		<description>Well, that may be, Leroy - but ol&#039; Scrotee was the only one to post a link to full frontal male nudity.

Obviously, he has a vast collection.</description>

		<description>Does anyone else wish that Swiftee and Tommy would just have sex and get it over with? 

Or better yet start their own blog where they can talk in private to one another?  

Every post on here seems to degenerate into the two of them debating each other&#039;s genitalia.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;â€œSave them empty..â€&lt;/em&gt;

Scrotee, I just happen to write in a vernacular JackPineSavages* such as yourself can unnerstand.

*down south, they&#039;re called &quot;rednecks.&quot;

Others just call &#039;em trailer trash.

When Scrotee grows up, maybe he can salvage enough empties to buy one.</description>

		<description>&quot;&lt;i&gt;Save them empty&lt;/i&gt;..&quot;

Another proud graduate of public schools. HA!

Oh well, I don&#039;t expect my plow truck drivers to be that bright...just so long as they get it done curb to curb.

You go curb to curb, don&#039;t you Cheeto boy?

Sure you do.

Pffft.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t &quot;worry&quot; &#039;bout you, Scrotee.  Really.

&quot;pity&quot; would be close, though.


BWAHAHAHAhahahahaHAHAHAHAhahahaha!

Save them empty beer cans, Scrotee - sooner or later, you&#039;ll need &#039;em for bail.</description>

		<description>Pffft. I love to come here and learn new and exciting news about myself.

I never knew I owned an imported, ratty motorcycle, or that I have a mullet, or that I&#039;m bald, or that I have &quot;whiskey&quot; license plates..HA!

It&#039;s really fascinating to learn what boatee and Cheeto boy like to fantisize about while teabagging each other in the basement.

HAHAHA!

Say, Cheeto boy? You know, instead of worrying about my driving record, what I ride, or what Al Franken is doing, you better get out there and plow some parking lots, boy.</description>

Close, &lt;em&gt;&lt;b&gt;but, no cigar!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

Scrotee won that title long ago.  The whereabouts of the trophy are unknown; urban legend has it Scrotee hocked the trophy after one of his many DUI busts....</description>

		<description>What a stupid video.  Tommy talking about running a clean campaign? Now that is a joke.  Tommy is the rudest little pussy troll there is on the web. Proof once again that the Democrat party is full of liars and cheats.</description>

		<description>Sorry Tommy, but the video doesn&#039;t show you &quot;pay at the pump,&quot; and the only credit card you&#039;ve ever used is your mommy&#039;s.

What I witnessed on the video, was a &quot;pump and run&quot;  The dumbest criminals used to be the ones that simply recorded their acts on camera.  Now they take the extra step of putting in on youtube!

John Walsh:  &quot; Our next fugitive is a part-time painter, caddy, and snow shoveler who goes by the name &#039;CheetoBoy&#039;.</description>

		<description>Dan Brome and Tommy Johnson:  Tale of Two Idiots.

Swiftee, Tommy doesn&#039;t drive a Chevy ... his mom bought him a shiny red Ford!
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RU5pUIjDqI4
 
Notice that Tommy drives off without paying for his gas!  (A gallon of gas was more expensive then, about as much as a jumbo bag of Cheetos.)  Tommy must feel guilty when he goes back to plow their parking lot.
 
As Tommy talks with lots of drool-covered Cheetos in his mouth, he claims he&#039;s a veteran.  A veteran of what, Cheetos?</description>

		<description>This election needs a full trial with unlimited discovery to answer all the questions that remain.  Who has to be in a hurry to seat someone that the majority of Minnesotans did not support in the first place.  I want a clear and unequivocal result from the court system.  No BS and do not duck like the Supreme Court did.</description>

		<description>Susan.  I understand what you are saying but I do not agree with you completely.  Republicans are to often willing to accept candidates that are not true conservatives and in the end we elect people that are not much better than Democrats.  It is my belief that people put Republicans in power to put a stop to all the liberal policies.  Unfortunately the Republicans began acting just like the Democrats and the people threw them out of office.  The only way to get back in the game is to return to our conservative roots and stop electing Republicans that act like Democrats.  It is time for conservatives to take the party back.</description>

		<description>&quot;As a republican I have become sick of this race a long time ago. It is a race Coleman should have won by a land slide after all it was Al (vulgarity deleted)Franken running against him. 

If there is another vote for senate it is the first time I will not vote in an election.&quot;

This is the kind of thinking that made it so difficult for SENATOR COLEMAN. Many voters didn&#039;t realize the overwhelming numbers of new voters that Obama would be bringing out to the polls mostly urban voters who overwhelmingly voted a straight DEM party ticket. If this were an off year Norm would have creamed Franken. If there were a runoff vote today SENATOR COLEMAN would win easily. 
Conservatives are so good at cannibalizing their own if a candidate does anything they disagree with - Or they stay home as you suggest.. Something the Libs are good at is they stick together thick or thin -- they seem to understand what is at stake!</description>

		<description>Tommy Johnson you are very rude and disrespectful. There is NOTHING corrupt about SENATOR COLEMAN. There is NO LAWSUIT against him. He has served our state honorably. That is more than can be said for the way Mark Ritchie and the Dems handled the PAPER BALLOT RECOUNT.</description>

		<description>&quot;It is rude and uninformed to call him the former Senator from Minnesota whether you believer he has won the election or not.&quot;

And by &quot;rude and uninformed,&quot; you must mean &quot;precisely accurate,&quot; since former senator Coleman does not currently hold the office of senator, thereby making him former senator Coleman.</description>

		<description>Senator Norm Coleman is just that a Senator.  Whether the current or past office holder. Please see   http://englishplus.com/news/news1200.htm.

It is rude and uninformed to call him the former Senator from Minnesota whether you believer he has won the election or not.  We would not expect any less, though, from the Dems.

The Senate is a very small club.  Only 100 of them help control the fate of the nation.  Their status is revered in many countries.  Senators are men and women of distinction.  (Another reason that someone like Franken should never have even gotten as close as he has)  As such, along with Presidents, they retain their title for the remainder of their life.</description>

That&#039;s terribly ignorant of you to make such a statement. Nothing I said above supports a competency test before voting.

What I stated was an absolute fact. Many useful idiots (aka young voters) went to the polls for the reasons I described above. 

I know a number of these useful idiots. I work with them on a daily basis. I listened to them for the few months before the election. And trust me, my comments are 100% accurate. 

You don&#039;t have to like my reasons - and frankly, I don&#039;t care if you do.

Now in the future (if I&#039;m not asking too of you), please don&#039;t ascribe to me motives (a competency test) that you can&#039;t back up.</description>

		<description>MplsSteve...

&quot;In Colemanâ€™s defense, there was nothing he could do about the large influx of useful idiots (aka young voters) who went to the polls telling their friends â€œOh Dude, wouldnâ€™t if be freaking cool to have a comedian in the Senate?â€ Those voters, already having been suckered in by Obamaâ€™s promises of Change, IOW, a free handout, willingly voted for Franken too.&quot;

Doesn&#039;t democracy suck?  I suppose you are in the camp that says all voters must take a test before voting too, right?

		<description>I think that both D and JohnA made valid points about Coleman&#039;s campaign.

There&#039;s absolutely no way in hell that Coleman should have lost to a spectacularly unfunny and unqualified individual like Al Franken. If I were Coleman, I&#039;d be deeply and horrifically embarrassed.

I was a volunteer for Coleman back in &#039;02 and have been a small financial contributor for years. But I have said it on other web sites and I&#039;ll say it again here...

Not many Minnesotans can tell you about one thing that Norm Coleman accomplished in his six years in the Senate. Coleman loved to play inside ball while there, something that most Minnesotans (of all political stripes) find infuriating.

Norm Coleman was (and remains) pure vanilla pablum in words and deeds. Now, I certainly didn&#039;t expect him to be a firebrand or an agitator in the Senate. That&#039;s not his type of personality. But I did expect more than what I saw. Even in his apearances on 1280 The Patriot, his words and comments were always vacuous and empty. So much so that they were the words of a man who was afraid to take a stand on anything for fear of upsetting someone.

His campaign was poorly run. His TV ads were empty. He had nothing to run on other than &quot;Hi, I&#039;m Norm Coleman and I&#039;m running for re-election&quot;. He looked like a tired punching bag in his debates with Franken and Barkley. I&#039;d find myself saying to the TV set &quot;Damnit, Coleman! Fight back! Stand up for yourself!&quot;

In Coleman&#039;s defense, there was nothing he could do about the large influx of useful idiots (aka young voters) who went to the polls telling their friends &quot;Oh Dude, wouldn&#039;t if be freaking cool to have a comedian in the Senate?&quot; Those voters, already having been suckered in by Obama&#039;s promises of Change, IOW, a free handout, willingly voted for Franken too.

If you believe the words of the guys at the Powerline blog, they seem to believe that the Coleman Team&#039;s approach to the recount has not been too dis-similiar to the way Coleman conducted himself in the Senate and on the campaign trail - ambiguous and unmotivated.

I believe that if Franken does survive the court challenge, it won&#039;t be long before a large chunk of Minnesota begins to have buyers&#039; remorse - the type of buyers remorse that occurred back in 2000 after listening to a bloviating ex-wrestler who just happened to be our Governor.

Minnesota, will you ever learn?</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think that both D and JohnA made valid points about Coleman&#8217;s campaign.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s absolutely no way in hell that Coleman should have lost to a spectacularly unfunny and unqualified individual like Al Franken. If I were Coleman, I&#8217;d be deeply and horrifically embarrassed.</p>
<p>I was a volunteer for Coleman back in &#8217;02 and have been a small financial contributor for years. But I have said it on other web sites and I&#8217;ll say it again here&#8230;</p>
<p>Not many Minnesotans can tell you about one thing that Norm Coleman accomplished in his six years in the Senate. Coleman loved to play inside ball while there, something that most Minnesotans (of all political stripes) find infuriating.</p>
<p>Norm Coleman was (and remains) pure vanilla pablum in words and deeds. Now, I certainly didn&#8217;t expect him to be a firebrand or an agitator in the Senate. That&#8217;s not his type of personality. But I did expect more than what I saw. Even in his apearances on 1280 The Patriot, his words and comments were always vacuous and empty. So much so that they were the words of a man who was afraid to take a stand on anything for fear of upsetting someone.</p>
<p>His campaign was poorly run. His TV ads were empty. He had nothing to run on other than &#8220;Hi, I&#8217;m Norm Coleman and I&#8217;m running for re-election&#8221;. He looked like a tired punching bag in his debates with Franken and Barkley. I&#8217;d find myself saying to the TV set &#8220;Damnit, Coleman! Fight back! Stand up for yourself!&#8221;</p>
<p>In Coleman&#8217;s defense, there was nothing he could do about the large influx of useful idiots (aka young voters) who went to the polls telling their friends &#8220;Oh Dude, wouldn&#8217;t if be freaking cool to have a comedian in the Senate?&#8221; Those voters, already having been suckered in by Obama&#8217;s promises of Change, IOW, a free handout, willingly voted for Franken too.</p>

		<description>It&#039;s funny you mention that Mike.

When Norm ran for Gov., the sole reason he didn&#039;t get my vote was because he was pushing for a publicly funded baseball staduim...in effect, a bailout for Carl Pohlad.

History repeats itself? Maybe.</description>

		<description>Norm Coleman press confrence way cooler then Franken.

If Norm didn&#039;t vote for the bailout he would have won by a quarter million votes, but now your worried about whos press confrence is more interesting.

Your a joke man.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re such a fraud, Brodkorb. How many of your Republican staffer colleagues were rallying for Norm on state time in Room 181? Were you there? To suggest Norm&#039;s &quot;star power&quot; somehow generated throngs of interested media is a joke. And so is your boss. Just remember it this way: Al Franken is the comedian and senator. Norm Coleman is the joke and former senator.</description>

		<description>&quot;Al Franken sounded confidant, even certain that he will be going to Washington DC as our senator.&quot;

Rod Blagojevitch, Jesse Jackson Jr., Bill Richardson, Ed Rendell, Rahm Emmanual...they&#039;re all sportin&#039; that same look of confidence.

It&#039;s a Democrat thang.</description>

		<description>Lets be fair about this.  Norm Coleman and the Republican Party actively recruited supporters to show up at his press conference.  Al Franken and the DFL did not do that.   

In my opinion, the big difference between the two press conferences was attitude. Al Franken sounded confidant, even certain that he will be going to Washington DC as our senator.  Norm Coleman was much more subdued, even resigned to his fate.  One could sense that he may be pursuing his court case reluctantly,already aware that he is not likely to prevail or receive the remedies that he is seeking.  He is a lawyer after all.

I was told that Al Franken would prefer to have taken questions but was advised by his legal counsel to say nothing outside of the prepared remarks, lest he say something that could be used in the pending court proceeeding.  Coleman also stuck very closely to the points in his script.</description>
