Norm and fishing in Alaska: he keeps putting his foot in it

Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) is up to his eyeballs in filthy lucre. From campaign contributions from corporations to gifts from guys he does business with to donations from lobbyists who represent the murderous Myanmar government to corrupt politicians and their crooked cronies. He simply doesn't understand why anyone would think this is a big deal. All his Republican pals in Congress do it, why should anyone care? Don't you Minnesotans know how the government works?

BTW, here's the fish video the questioner refered to. BTW2, check out Norm's body language ... dishonest, slimy ... or what?

Norm is playing dumb on this because he doesn't want you to comprehend the significance. This trip in and of itself wasn't a big deal. However, it is one instance of a pattern. A pattern of rubbing elbows with the people who benefit when Norm votes the Republican Party line. A pattern of putting corporate and Republican partisan interests before his constituents.

So the guy who organized the trip was convicted on corruption charges. Norm won't return the guys donations and doesn't think this is a big deal. Combine it with cheerleading the Iraq War, supporting Bush's disastrous economic policies, ignoring all the Republican corruption, incompetence and lawlessness, voting to underfund our transportation infrastructure, ignoring the healthcare crisis and going along with the Bush Administration's denial of global climate change and it all adds up to a big deal.

Is this man worthy of representing the great state of Minnesota?
