Satire, which is what Al Franken does, can only be created by smart people. &amp;nbsp;Really.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Coleman said that for the good of MN the loser should step aside gracefully. &amp;nbsp;Remember that Normie? So, step aside. Wait, that would require class and intelligence personal characteristics that pathetic Normie does &amp;nbsp;not possess. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am glad that a personal friend of Senator Wellstone has reclaimed his seat from the aberration that Norm Coleman was and is. &amp;nbsp;Now, let the FBI finish the investigation of dear Normie and his wife so that they can face justice.</description></item><item><title>Downballot: Franken the winner?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/05/1731905.aspx#1732047</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:44:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1732047</guid><dc:creator>Jeff B.</dc:creator><description>He's good enough, smart enough and gosh-darn-it, people like to vote for someone who has partied with John Belushi.
