Norm Coleman kicked off his Senate campaign by describing his opponent as a "partisan disease."  Coleman then described himself as "the cure" to that partisan disease. (Norm clearly must have forgotten about calling himself a ‘rah rah’ guy for the GOP in 2003…and the entire year of 2004 when he served as Bush’s attack dog during the Presidential campaign…or 2005 when he was a principal defender of Karl Rove…maybe these are the "mistakes" he admitted to during his speech…?)

And yes, while some might point to the fact that Norm’s record is one of partisan loyalty to the Bush-Cheney-Rove team that got him elected in the first place, we’d like to point out Norm’s pattern of fiercely attacking his opponents, and then praising himself – in a Donald Trump-like move – as a "cure" and "prophet of hope":

Norm’s partisan rhetoric begs the question:

Who’s the real comedian in Minnesota’s Senate race?
