Al Franken can't be seated soon enough

The only thing one wonders is why on earth Minnesotans elected Norm Coleman in the first place.

Joe Sudbay:

Never a dull moment with sleazy Norm Coleman. Norm is in some hot water because his top campaign benefactor, Nasser Kazeminy, was accused of funneling money to Norm's wife. That accusation was reaffirmed in a sworn deposition from Kazeminy's business partner. These lawsuits had nothing to do with politics -- just business.

Now, Norm is asking the FEC to let him use campaign money to pay the legal costs from that lawsuit. Joe Bodell at MN Progressive Project asks a key question:

Is this what donors thought they were funding when they wrote a check to Norm Coleman's campaign for the recount and legal challenge?
