    "Norm Coleman Has No Balls"

    MN GOP PRESS RELEASE: “FRANKEN’S YOU TUBE MOMENT”
    By Michael B. Brodkorb December 19, 2007
    The Republican Party of Minnesota has released a press release blasting comments made by Larry David about U.S. Senator Norm Coleman while David was speaking at a fundraiser for Al Franken's campaign.

    St. Paul - Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Ron Carey today issued the following statement regarding Hollywood liberal Larry David’s negative personal attacks on Senator Norm Coleman and Al Franken’s response.
    "Last night at a ritzy fundraiser for Al Franken in Minneapolis, Hollywood liberal Larry David personally attacked Senator Norm Coleman in language offensive to all Minnesotans. Franken promised he would run a positive, issue oriented campaign but his laughing reaction to David’s personal attacks again shows why he lacks the maturity, temperament and judgment necessary for the U.S. Senate."

    Coleman and his brainless followers claim to be engaging in a serious campaign. Yet, they are going to spend the next ten months - first flooding us with and then commenting on - such mundane drivel.

    Apparently, It is Al Franken's fault that Larry David said what he said. And worse yet, Al laughed. No speculation on whether this was the kind of uncomfortable laugh one might engage in when a guest makes an off color joke in front of the children. And one might also comment on the hypocrisy of a Republican- the ilk who support the vile spewing Dick Cheney ( remember his "f-bomb' on the senate floor) or the brasen attitude of ol' W. "He's an Asshole!"

    Larry David, by contrast, said that "Norm Coleman, on the other hand, has no balls... he doesn't even have one ball." As a comedian supporting a friend and apparenntly speaking to entertain the crowd he said, "Norm Coleman, on the other hand, has no balls... "

    Something before hand, such as the context in which this comment is offered, must make it very amusing because on its own it is just not so funny. The indication that something else exists is the "on the other hand' part of the quote.

    I had the opportunity to attend this supposedly glamorous high -dollar fundraiser but had a scheduling conflict. I think it was for contributors who contributed $100 or more. It was nothing like the $1500/person handshake with the Prez that Coleman put on last summer. If it were the sort of high end fundraiser that the GOP is implying I would not have even known about it.

    Follow the link to see for yourself- although I have described the clip and the quote pretty accurately- and you will see this is a something of nothing moment of the part of Coleman- who is obviously running scared. Perhaps as a result of his ball deficit. But maybe not.

    If the clip is to be taken on its face and indeed there was not some double meaning or other way that the quote becomes more humorous, it is fair to say that the attack is unfounded.

    I have not seen Norm Coleman's balls, nor would I want to. But I can assume they are probably there. What else could Cheney be holding on to that would make Norm such a puppet for this current administration?
