Norm Coleman Doesn't Know What Day It Is

By Baxter

We cats have seen some pretty desperate spin over the course of our nine lives, but the Coleman take on today's court ruling against him is lame, lame, lame.

A Minnesota three-judge panel ruled that 400 absentee ballots be turned over to the Secretary of State’s Office to be counted by April 7. The Coleman forces wanted many more ballots to be considered, and to make matters worse, the 400 are from areas favoring Al Franken.

Faced with this latest blow, Coleman attorney Ben Ginsberg said the ruling was an "April Fool's Day order." Except — today isn't April Fool's Day.

Oops, sorry, Politico. Ginsberg actually called it an "almost April Fool's Day order." Sheesh. What a stretch.

We cats call on Norm Coleman to get a new calendar, realize how many months it's been since Election Day, and do what he wanted Al Franken to do on November 5: Throw in the towel so that the people of Minnesota can have two Senators again.

And we call on Harry Reid to look at his calendar and decide to seat Al Franken very soon. Like, sometime before Christmas.
