Minnesota's Least Popular Democrat Vanishes

Rick Kahn, the Democrat lawyer whose foaming-at-the-mouth speech at that partisan "memorial service" for Sen. Paul Wellstone helped defeat Senate wannabe Walter Mondale, is making himself mighty scarce these days.

Kahn "has largely disappeared," the pro-Democrat Minneapolis Star Tribune marveled today.

"Before the election and again Wednesday, Kahn did not return reporters' phone calls and said through friends and family members that he did not want to talk. Nobody responded Wednesday to knocks on the door of his Minnetonka house, where Kahn works from a home office."

Newsweek was able to track him down Tuesday night. He admitted to the magazine that he regretted the speech "and, worse, fears he may have lost the race he set out to revive."

Kahn implored, "All I hope is that people would find it in their heart to understand and forgive me."

Rest easy, Rick. No doubt Sen.-elect Norm Coleman forgives you. Just don't rent any airplanes from Democrats.

"Geeez they must smoke some potent stuff up there."

What do you expect from a state that elects (twice!) to have doctor-assisted suicide legalized?

[freebilly]

kahn (kon), verb. 1. The act of committing mass suicide at a memorial service. 2. To perform a ludicrous, self-destructive act of moral degeneracy. 3. To shoot oneself inadvertently while hunting elephants.....

[KneelBeforeZod]

no doubt, he is one of the clowns that reversed the "lowest turnout in years expected" Except in california. shame on them. (ok, us)

Kahn was like a little boy lighting off an M80 at the bottom of a snowpacked mountain. It really isn't Kahn or the M80 that wiped out the Democratic village, it's the pent up avalanche of vacuous ideology that was destined to come down the hill eventually. That said, I wish he had also campaigned in South Dakota and California.

Can Democrat political albatrosses be eligble for some sort of "witness protection program" ?

[L`enn]

Do not forget the face of Bubba laughing and guffawing all through the night. That resonated also.

The whole world got to see that unlike his phony cry at the Ron Brown funeral.

[Callahan]

Maybe Mr. Kahn could get a job on Jim Jeffords staff.

[ApesForEvolution]

Rest assured Kahn-man, you definitely were the icing on the MN and national cake.

But, if it's any consolation, the folly of your ways was merely a symptom that the entire democr@p 'party...er...rally on a corpse' is suffering mightily from.

Sheer power-lust leading to, if not total and complete, lunacy. The ideas, leadership, message, anti-Americanism, communist-policies, big government tax and spend, nanny-state, immoral trash-lovers that democr@ps are.

Still, some of us have already forgiven you and wish you the best.

Recommendation: Just don't step in front of the reality machine ever again. Getting run over is no fun.

I suppose a suicide watch isn't necessary, since the only thing a democr@p has the audacity to kill is a defenseless baby, in or near the womb...

[Helen]

That fun-e-rally will go down in history as the most stupid political ploy ever played - and with a big "Democrat" placard. Forgiveness isn't even a factor.

[ApesForEvolution]

No doubt that Kahn-man (with supporting roles from the 'boys', Harkin, former St.P mayor Latimer and the titulatory attitude of the xxxlintons, McAuliflower and Co.) was part of the 'final result' catalyst!

BTW, I simply LOVE Laura Ingraham! (complete side note as I listen to her and FReep..it's a good week!)

[Mike Darancette]

He's probably on one of those gay cruises....

No, he's back at his day job as an admin moderator for Democraticunderground.com.

Thank you very much, Mr.Kahn and your fellow travelers at the Plane Crash Jamboree. Really, though, it was not just you the nation was watching. The rest of the Democrat heroes were there too. You are simply the victim (scapegoat, now), having been caught up in the excitement of the funeral.

[okie01]

"The big celebrities were giddy, so it is strange they have picked out Kahn, a local guy, to be the goat."

The Big Celebrities need scapegoats. The fault can't be their's, y'know. The catastrophe was going to blamed on "the Wellstone boys" or Kahn. Or the janitor, or somebody.

Being a liberal means never having to say you're sorry...

A great week. Election results and the market. I bought Surebeam @$2.00. Sold it @$6.25. Bought back in this morning @$4.80. With all this good fortune, I am sure to get cocky and lose my shirt, but hey, I'm on a roll and loving it.

[MadIvan]

Typical bloody leftist. To quote "Gone With the Wind", he's like "the thief who isn't sorry he stole, but very, very sorry he's going to jail".

And indeed, he got caught out so badly that he not only took out Mondale, but the governor's race in Minnesota went the Republicans' way too.

Minnesota's reputation for niceness and decency has been re-established with this result.

Regards, Ivan

You know, last nite Geraldine Ferraro said something that should have been obvious to me but wasn't. She essentially said that the biggest factor of the funerally for Wellstone was the fact that Jesse Ventura walked out. Had he not done that, the press might have given the Dems a "pass".

Thanks Jesse!!!

[Spunky]

Did you become hypnotized after reading all of that? ;-)

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

HA HA HA!

I'm still gloating,
How about you?
I'm still gloating,
Woo Hoo Hoo!
