Al Franken, who won the Minnesota Senatorial election in November, again in February after a recount, again in April after another couple of challenges, and again in June after the Minnesota Supreme Court concurred with every single other ruling so far, is now the new junior Senator from Minnesota.
So the question is this…how can one concede “graciously” after dragging this out halfway into the next year? Yet if you google “coleman gracious concede” you will get all kinds of hits from commentors on various news stories around cyberspace. Not the stories themselves, mind you, but the citizen commentary following the stories.
Are people really this partisan as to think that Coleman is being “gracious” in any way after the crap he and his people have pulled for seven months? Wait, that answer is yes. How about this: are people really this stupid? Sadly, I fear I know the answer to that one, too.

Bush is ahead by a small margin, Gore wants to fight in court, Supreme Court says no you lost, Bush was SELECTED.
Same thing happens with the tables reversed and the Democrat WON!
Nice double standard.

Um, Bush lost by a million votes when the whole country is considered, hence the “selected” tag.
Franken didn’t lose the vote count.
I’d say that’s a pretty significant difference, wouldn’t you?
To put it so you might understand it…Tony Stewart wins a race, Jeff Gordon finishes second by several hundred feet. Under the Franken scenario, Tony Stewart wins. Under the 2000 Bush scenario, Jeff Gordon is selected as the winner and Tony Stewart grows a beard and starts making documentaries to save the planet while Gordon does his best to destroy said planet.

This scenario is not far fetched. Jeff Gordon is a good candidate for being the Anti-Christ, if you ask me. Milk-drinking planet-destroying bastard.

You sure Bush won Florida? I’m not. I’m pretty sure he didn’t, as a matter of fact. But he was indeed selected, there’s no denying that. The last eight years of stupidity are proof he was indeed selected and put somewhere he shouldn’t have been.

You are a hoot, Stoner.
