Heh, heh, heh: Funny Business in Minnesota - WSJ.com.
I love the smell of the WSJ editorial pages fuming.
Now if the WSJ news pages were concerned I'd pay attention. But the editorial pages?
That's just delightful in a wickedly funny sort of way.
Senator Franken. Ahhhh.
I voted for him of course, but when the Minneapolis Star Tribune double-crossed the state and endorsed Coleman (a notorious weasel) I figured he was toast. Despite working very hard and despite the state going strongly to Obama he didn't seem to be getting a lot of traction -- so I wasn't optimistic.
Happily I was wrong. This is a very good day, though the lawsuits may go on. (Some insiders seem to think Coleman will give up rather than incur large legal bills in pursuit of a lost cause, but my native pessimism assumes a long hard battle.)
Update 1/5/09: 538 dismantles the WSJ OpEd. Wow. I knew the WSJ editors were slimeballs, but they really outdid themselves this time. Murdoch is famous for calibrating to power. How longer before some of those scum join the breadlines?

If Coleman raises money for an election challenge, can he drop that and use the money for his other legal problems? That would work well for him, I'm sure lots of Republicans would donate to keep the Democrats from 'stealing' a senate seat.
