LOL

Here’s a taste of the second link

The Sixth District is White Trash living in Single Wides. The biggest fear of the Minnesota Department of Disaster Related Stuff is that one of our famous tornadoes decides to travel down the Route Ten Corridor. Almost all human-made objects bigger than a car along this corridor are boats for sale, boats in storage, RV’s for sale, gazebos for sale, or trailers people live in. You know what they say in Sixth District?

[Switch to slack-jawed-hick accent]

“What’s the difference between a toe-nado and a dee-vorce?”

“I dunno, Jethro, what’s the difference between a toe-nado and a dee-vorce?”

“Nothin’, Jeeter! Either way, somebody’s gonna lose ‘emselves a tray-lor!”

[/end accent]

The Sixth District is beer bellied hairy motorcycle papas and mamas. Country style crack houses. Crotch rockets and good ol’ American Built Pickup Trucks usually incapable of driving at more than 55 miles per hour. Which is OK because the dog in the back of the truck prefers it this way.

hold off from having you sign and us file your affidavit at this time to avoid tying you down to any particular testimony

at a bare minimum, that’s reserving the right to commit and suborn perjury

and I don’t think lawyers have a right to commit or suborn perjury

I believe we call that MALFEASANCE, and OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE

oh yeah, it also violates the rules of disclosure

I’m pretty sure we don’t want slimy fuckers like this to be members of our courts

DISBARMENT is the only reasonable solution

It’s about OUR RIGHT to have our Courts staffed by DECENT AND HONEST HUMAN BEINGS

In Daily Kos, daveinchi has an entertaining account of this legal meltdown. He quotes one of the memos: “Pam, the legal team and campaign have made a strategic litigation decision to hold off from having you sign and us file your affidavit at this time to avoid tying you down to any particular testimony [emphasis mine] and to avoid having to disclose your name and statement.” Call me cynical, or maybe paranoid, but that sounds to me like they went way beyond merely hiding a witness and withholding her testimony from the other side into conspiring with her to fabricate testimony based on the tactic they decide to pursue depending on how the case goes.

Coleman is going to be history in a very short period of time. At least until he tries to appeal what looks like an adverse decision against him in Minnesota. It is a great result for Franken and a just result for Coleman who is one of the dirties people in Congress.

Coleman is a loser in a collection of them. No ideas, not a care in the world but getting power back. Problem is they are losers and if we are lucky it will be an eternity before these losers are trusted again.

I agree. In the RNC’s mind, their only hope is to block Franken’s seating (D-#59) long enough to scuttle the new administration’s agenda. Their litany of republican failures continues by minority obstruction in the face of dire threats to the country. We need this contrast now so that 2010 brings them another massive rejection at the polls. Obama knows that in politics, there is no destruction like self destruction. And the party of Limbaugh, Dobson, Rove, Norquist, DeLay, Gingrich & Joe the Plumber is driving itself off a cliff.

I’m sure Minnesotans are sick of him and will gladly pull the lever against him behind the curtain.

more like the whole repuglitard party, for a generation or two, maybe more

I think the repuglitards mistook Minnesota Nice for Minnesota Stupid

get a clue, Minnesotans are not stupid

and I think they’re gonna politely IGNORE SHUN the repuglitards for the next 50 years

maybe more …

people keep saying the repuglitards are not trying to win this, just prolong it

are they ever gonna try to win an election again, ANYWHERE IN AMERICA ???

and good luck with that, ya DICKWADS

To say nothing of how having to shell out for a new state-wide election would influence the voters. Particularly now.
