SO PAINFUL BUT SO GOOD FOR AL FRANKEN

A must see. Posted from washingtonnote.com.
Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) in Serious "Ted Stevens-Style Trouble"? Did He Buy His Own Suits and Pay His Own Power Bill?

Thanks to Politico's Ben Smith for sending this our way.

This is the most painful press engagement between a campaign spokesman and a "polite, but persistent" group of media I have ever seen.

Let's just hope that Al Franken buys all of his own suits.

As American Prospect executive editor Mark Schmitt just wrote in a note, the media between now and election day will just keep asking "who was paying for [Norm Coleman's] suits, his gas bill, his rent, his wife's salary, etc."

Adding to the fun, Mark Leon Goldberg of UN Dispatch shared with me, "Oh, how I wish Kofi Annan would travel to Minneapolis to demand Coleman's resignation." That is exactly what John Bolton's best friend in the Senate, Norm Coleman, did to Annan.

More later.
