Right-wing temper tantrum of the day

Found an interesting headline today in Minnesota's Star Tribune: "Coleman camp asks that election result be 'set aside.'"

Uh, Norm?

In a democratic republic, we don't "set aside" election results just because you lost.

This is the Coleman camp's way of admitting their challenge to the election result has no basis, so they think a court should let the embattled Republican incumbent be declared the winner just because.

Did Katherine Harris move to Minnesota?

Even more hilariously, judges ordered Coleman to pay a $7,500 fine for failing to disclose an important document regarding the vote count.

Good ol' dumpster-divin' Norm. Yes, this is the senator who in 2007 climbed into a dumpster and pawed around in it, claiming he was searching for an antique lamp his wife threw away. When he showed up for an important meeting covered with trash, it drew unhelpful comparisons to Pigpen and Oscar the Grouch.
