Mark Ritchie: Minnesotan Douchebag

Posted by: Tristan

Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie is attempting to make Katherine Harris look good by comparison as he injects as much partisanship and incompetence into the vote counting for the election between Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) and Democrat Al Franken.

Asked about the Coleman campaign’s criticism of the recanvassing process, Ritchie said: “Their goal is to win at any price. They’ve invested millions and millions of dollars. We consider this part of the normal political rhetoric,” said Ritchie. “We’re used to the political rhetoric being amped up. That’s part of their job — to win at any price.”

Ritchie later denied making the comment at a press conference.
