The election panel’s stamp of approval is unlikely to bring an end to the contest. A lawyer for the Coleman campaign, Fritz Knaak, issued a statement today calling the court’s ruling “disappointing and disheartening” and vowed to challenge the outcome of the recount.

Anyone who identifies Rush Limbaugh as a “Big, Fat, Idiot”, will certainly be a beneficial addition to the U.S. Senate.
A satirist such as Al strikes terror into bamboozlers such as Limbaugh and his acolytes. They don’t dare listen to him, or they would discern the very deep intelligence and, gasp, truth behind the wit. Franken will be a deeply valuable addition to the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Government. Having him speaking on the Senate floor will truly be a thrill!
FYI — The TITLE of Franken’s book (“Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot”)was a PARODY of Rush Limbaugh. That’s how Limbaugh talks, and Franken was making fun of that. Franken doesn’t talk that way about people. He’s actually a very nice person. I’ve been amazed by the Republican’s success in making some voters think that that Franken’s choice of the book title shows that he’s an offensive loudmouth (as Limbaugh surely is), rather than that he’s an effective satirist. It went clear over their heads, I guess.
I agree Coleman is a sore loser… geez, I mean if the guy was truly, truly in this for the people- he would lay down on this and let there be some resolve to something that has been going on for far too long. It’s clear he’s all about the power now.. he’s only in it for himself.
Doesn’t Coleman realize that the public opinion of him is getting lower and lower with each act of desperation he pulls, He needs to learn from Al Gore who had the dignity to concede from a stolen election,
