And the only thing Norm Coleman could draw was the interest of investigators. Seriously, though, how many Americans could draw an accurate map of the country? Or name 50 states? Or name more than five or six states?
Just think of everything President Obama hasn't done for gays just since Al Franken won—and Franken is only now considered the actual winner! It's almost time to go into re-election mode. Certify him, Pawlenty. Don't be a douche.
UPDATE: Coleman concedes. He should concede that he's a fucking undemocratic asshole and less pretty than Sarah Plain and Tall, too.
Al Franken is the declared, official victor of the Senate race in Minnesota. He barely won over a demonstrably crooked man with less charm than a corpse in a ditch, but that's what happens when you run as a comedian. (Not that Norm Coleman has conceded or anything.)
I'm still pleasantly shocked Franken was able to pull this one out—I just hope this doesn't mean fellow SNL alum Victoria Jacksonwill run and win as a Republican somewhere else...
Al Franken is pretty brilliant to highlight these personal stories of Minnesotans who did nothing wrong when they voted and yet whose votes remain officially uncounted:
Over here, check out some samples of contested ballots in the contentious Minnesota recount that is currently underway to determine whether Norm Coleman or Al Franken won that state's Senate race. Some of them are genuinely mystifying, whereas others seem obvious and are being objected to just for the sake of trying to stall. Let's go over to fool-proof and theft-proof electronic voting of some kind, shall we?
