Norm Coleman: Key To Republican Success Lies In The "Ethernet"

Clearly, Norm Coleman isn't exactly tech-savvy. After a speaking engagement in St. Louis this week, he told a video-camera wielding supporter that the key to success for Republicans "lies in the ethernet."

Coleman, who was in Minnesota Supreme Court this week appealing the Senate election results, was in St. Louis to give a speech at the Conservative Heartland Leadership Conference.

Minnesota Public Radio has audio of Coleman's remarks to reporters Thursday.

Oh my. Another GOP gettin' jiggy moment. Hip and happenin'. You're gellin' Normie.

If Norm can tear himself away from the ethernet I'd love to see his new state of the art hifi stereo. I'll bring over my new 8 track player and we'll get groovy.

Hey Normy how about signing up for a few classes at your local college soon you'll have enough time to take a few computer classes!

[Bushisgone]

Just shows how out of touch the Republicans are

Or that they really aren't intelligent

For all you non-tech types "ethernet" is the most widely-installed local area network technology. Specified in a standard, IEEE 802.3 and was originally developed by Xerox.

He's just a politician so you need to cut him some slack.

if they don't change the party -- that won't help

BRUSSELS – Europe was leaning to the right ahead of European Parliament elections Sunday, with voters in many countries favoring conservative parties against a backdrop of economic crisis.

Opinion polling showed right-leaning governments with edges over their opposition in Germany, Italy and France. Conservative opposition parties were tied or ahead in Britain, Spain, and some smaller countries.

wow-nice dentures--Mc Cain needs them instead of the yellow teeth he has

[mick7191]

How about just ether?

[rbarry647]

[mick7191]

Norm-
You over whitened your teeth. Now, they look like false teeth.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. "

[TFlint]

Nobody died when Clinton lied.

[Pammy2]

No, Norm. Not the ethernet - the interwebs.

[signwrite]

no, no, its a series of tubes

[rogerthornhill1959]

and Obama thinks there are 57 states!

[Gladys1963]

There are seven designated "territories" of the U.S., including Guam, Puerto Rico, Samoa, Marianas, Wake Island Midway. and a couple others--add those to the 50 states, you get 57, so President Obama wasn't too far off base when he said that. I think we can forgive him, considering the stress of the campaign trail.

Now,now, it's his dentures.

[ObservantDem]

This is the same thing as Bush Sr. saying the Googles

[noamjunior]

[yellowdoggie]

LOL

[blueshield]

Awright, this is absolutely unfair.

[edtheengineer]

Not only were the telegraph lines down, but the carrier pigeon got lost!

[babyboomerorig]

ROFLMAO!!

They walk among us.....and breed.

[edtheengineer]

I wasn't too upset until you mentioned the fact that they are breeding. Sort of like fleas.
