The Dude abides.. his time
Norm, Coleman says the darndest things:
Former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) has released a statement on the Sotomayor nomination, promising to make a thorough review of her record — as soon as he’s re-elected:
ST. PAUL – Senator Norm Coleman today released the following statement in response to President Obama’s nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court.
"When debating judges, I was firm that I would use the same standard to evaluate judges under a Democrat President as I would a Republican President. Are they intellectually competent, do they have a record of integrity, and most importantly, are they committed to following the Constitution rather than creating new law and policy. When I am re-elected, I intend to review Judge Sotomayor’s record using this process. Certainly, the nomination of a Hispanic woman to the nation’s highest court is something all American’s should applaud."
God, that is just adorable. And when he grows up he’s going to stay up all night and eat candy. Whenever. He. Wants.

Perhaps Justice Sotomayor will cast the deciding vote in the Coleman v. Franken case that finally puts Al in his rightful Senate seat.
Norm’s faculty for evaluating intellectual competence is right up there with W’s faculty for eloquence in ad libbing.
Re-elected to what?
Oh Normie’s so cute!
Repubs always say they’re about tough standards and “hard work,” yet they don’t seem to apply that to their English learnin’.
It’s DemocratIC President, you tool.
(yes, I know he’s advancing their little “Democrat Party” game…)
And when I make the major leagues next year at the age of 45 I’m going to whomp a hunnert’ homeruns! It’s going to be teh awesome!
I’ve grown to despise this shitstack. If there is karmic justice, he goes to jail for years…
And the guards snidely refer to him as “Mister Senator” the whole time.
I’m hoping that the Supreme Court case that finally tells Normy to shut up and sit down is Justice Sotomayor’s first ruling.
Normie’s also gonna build a spaceship in his backyard, and fly it to Jupiter where he will find a giant asteroid made all out of diamond, and he will bring it back to Earth and it will solve the global financial crisis, but first everyone has to agree to call Al Franken a Super Duper Poopyhead forever. Also, Normie gets to stay up late reading comics with a flashlight any time he wants to.
I guess being old enough and wealthy enough to buy a jar of marshmallow creme and eat the whole thing wasn’t quite enough for Senator Coleman.
I see that Norm got the memo –In any discussion of Sotomayor, you must draw an equivalence between “creating policy” and “creating law”. Because otherwise, her quote-out-of-context isn’t damaging at all.
Foul little flat faced pisstard. Shit on him.
