Norm Coleman couldn’t whip himself out of a wet paper bag.
“Norm Coleman couldn’t whip himself out of a wet paper bag.”
For the decades I’ve been involved in Minnesota politics, I’ve rarely seen a campaign as poorly run as Norm Coleman’s was.
The unofficial slogan seemed to be “Vote For Me! I’m Not Al Franken!”
His six years in the Senate were all but invisible. I rarely, if ever, had an idea of what he was doing in DC. That’s alarming because I could likely tell you what Senators like Coburn and DeMint were involved with - but not my own Senator.
It was shameful because electing an unfunny former comedian to the Senate only helped to reinforce Minnesota’s reputation as Buffoonville.
