Minnesota Hires A Clown

In celebration of the state’s 150th birthday, the citizens of Minnesota have hired failed comedian / failed author / failed Air America windbag Al Franken as their Senatorial desginee. 

Franken, who currently has a 225-vote lead over Republican Norm Coleman, is expected to entertain Minnesota’s estimated 5.2 million inhabitants over the next six years:

 

Democrat Al Franken will be declared the winner of the tight U.S. Senate contest in Minnesota, emerging from a ballot recount with a slim margin over Republican Norm Coleman, state officials said on Sunday.

But Coleman, the incumbent, has asked Minnesota’s supreme court to require that a few hundred additional absentee ballots be included in the recount — and he could then ask the court to investigate the contest all over again.

“At the moment, Franken has a 225-vote lead,” after the weekend counting of what were deemed the last uncounted absentee ballots, said Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, a Democrat who oversaw the process.

Ritchie said unless the supreme court acts on Coleman’s request and orders more ballots to be counted, he will reconvene the state’s Canvassing Board on Monday to certify Franken as the winner of the November 4 contest.

Hey Minnesota, why don’t you pin the tail on this donkey:
