Empty Suit Thursday: Award winning hackery
Sen. Smilin' Norm Coleman (R-MN) won a lame award this week. He's the national "Righty of the Week" for his pursuit of the oil for food investigation (which seems dead in the water for now) and for his defense of Karl Rove (which is as shameful as it is opportunistic). Here are the rest of this week's Smilin' Norm low lights:- Because 6 stem cell bills aren't enough, Coleman introduced his own stem cell legislation. Coleman opposed stem cell research as a candidate, but favors it now. MN Publius sees Coleman's move as part of a trend of Minnesota Republicans distancing themselves from Bush.
- Clever Peasantry points out that Coleman was officially undecided about his stem cell position on July 6. Sometime after July 6, Coleman realized that the tragic death of two of his children years earlier changed his position on stem cell research in the last fortnight. Coleman's pain is undoubtedly real, but he has politicized his personal tragedy before.
- Smilin' Norm made a funny to Hugo Chavez. Coleman should let Al Franken tell the jokes from here on out.
- Business Week magazine reminds us that the sugar protections Coleman brags about are promises easily broken.
