Norm Coleman: "I'm A Winner"

Minnesota Independent:

U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman broke his silence on the recount in Minnesota's election for the seat he holds today, saying "I'm a winner" and predicting that most of the mounting number of challenged ballots -- including his campaign's apparently -- will be dismissed.

Of the Coleman and Al Franken campaigns' increasingly aggressive ballot challenges, Coleman said, "There are games being played on both sides and it would be great if people put the games aside." He disavowed personal involvement in the recount's nitty-gritty -- "I'm not involved in day-to-day recount stuff" -- but offered this apparently informed opinion: "I would bet that most of the challenges are going to be dismissed."

Asked about any awkwardness in his position as a sitting senator who may or may not have won re-election, Coleman responded: "I'm still senator. I believe I'm a winner. ... I'm proceeding with the belief that we prevailed the first night, prevailed in the certification and we'll prevail again."

"I'm a winner." Nothing like personalizing the election, Norm. FYI, the election is not a referendum on whether YOU are a "winner" or "loser." This sounds like you are trying too hard to prove that you are not the slimeball that you are.

[OGoodGrief]

And you are special too, Norm, just like your Momma told you.

What is wrong with the people in Minnesota?

First, they re-elect that knuckle-dragger, Michele Bachman, then, they vote in such numbers for this creep Coleman, that the election results are razor-thin. C'mon, people -- this isn't rocket science or brain surgery -- one guy is honest and the other guy isn't -- it's as simple as that, duhhhhh.

Is it the water, or the air, or the cold weather? I always thought people from Minnesota were smart and decent -- I think maybe I've been wrong.

They are dipshites like 90 percent of the USA/.

My research indicates that at least 66% of u.s. citizens are civilized, decent human beings. There is hope...

Hey Norm,

Jim Kerry wants his teeth back.

[Darsan54]

Norm, Reader's Digest says, "You may already be a weiner!"

[peacekitten]

reality check, norm.

no matter how many times you repeat a lie, it never makes it the truth.

"I'm a winner"

No, the word is "wiener" Norm. Get it right.

By the way, is your clothes fetish due to an abiding affection for being in the closet?

[notb observer]

You sure are Norm. And Sarah Palin was qualified to be VP, and the earth is 6.000 years old, and deregulation works, and John McCain suspended his campaign, and there were WMDs in Iraq, and....

Just keep repeating it over and over again. Eventually someone will believe you, but it won't affect the outcome of the vote.

[BlueStateMan]

he REALLY said, "I'm a WHINER"... as he'll continue to be as he treks down the road to obscurity where he belongs.

C'mon, Norm... repeat after me...

SENATOR AL FRANKEN.

There, feel better?

[JTyroler]

Check out his medicine cabinet - he needs to cut down on the Xanax.

[cyndeewi]

[bmwracer]

"I'm a Winner."

"And a Denture Wearer."

[KOisGod]

I can see Norm's fake teeth from my front step, and I live in CA

[scjk67]

[hopefulnana]

Does that make you a dentist?

[NewportJoey]

No is makes KOisGOD a wiener too!!

[KOisGod]

Coleman and Biden must go to the same dentist.

Not that there's anything wrong with that mind you -

[notb observer]

Are you an anti-dentite ?
;)

[richardwb]

"He's a RABID anti-dentite!"

[daedelus]

Norm looks like he'd have a knack for rattlesnake handling.

[Mort]
