LibertyLover wrote “I thought she was appointed after the change to the Patriot act, was she actually confirmed by the Senate?”

No, she was never formally confirmed by the Senate. Mash in a DailyKos diary explained that her confirmation vote by the Judiciary Commitee was bypassed by Senate Majority Leader Bill Fritst in a rare discharge resolution.

It helps that Palouse gave Coleman $1500 in campaign contributions, $500 after he recommended her for the very position she holds now.

I don’t find her horse-faced at all. She is attractive until she opens her mouth (which is only used for speaking, I might add).

Coleman also ran as a D, and after elected switched to R.

waffling is his game.

He’s an embarrassment to Minnesota.

Right up with this Pawlenty thief.

I was one of Rachel’s classmates at Yale Law School and can confirm that she had an undistinguished career in the classroom and in her extracurricular pursuits. She was not a member of the law review. She was quite active in the Federalist Society, though not a leader there, either.

Coleman is nothing but a rubbernecked brown shirted Dubya apologist. He is short termed for the Senate anyway. He has a snowballs chance of re-election after supporting failure for all these years. Dubya supporters are dead on arrival.

REMEMBER WHEN COLEMAN GOT ELECTED AS A DEMOCRATIC, AND THEN ONCE IN OFFICE HE SWITCHED TO REPUBLICAN?
FOR THE LAST YEAR HE HAS SLOWLY BEEN REMOVING HIS HEAD FROM UP BUSH’S ASS AND TRYING TO LOOK LIKE A MODERATE.
SORRY NORM, WE REMEMBER ALL THOSE TIMES YOU VOTED IN LOCK-STEP WITH THE REST OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.

AL FRANKEN HAS MY VOTE IN 2008!

don’t shoot the messenger, worfeus…

i actually would have like to have seen him squirm a bit longer…
kept the discussion going a LOT longer…
and spread the “love” to all the other hate mongers on the teevee…

this may have the effect of sweeping the problem under the rug…
there are too many REAL racists and bigots out there…

kind of curious why imus was picked on…

Katy. Imus had a large liberal fan base.

In fact, he was one of the most vocal critics of the Bush administration we had.

Oh well.

Looks like you guys managed to push your little scapegoat right off the cliff.

Guess race relations are all better now.

#25…there is a hope that Al Franken can win….If Jesse The body Vetura can be a governor of Minnesota, Al Franken can also be a Senator in the same state.

MSNBC has fired IMUSâ€¦

Talk show host Don Imus’ situation worsened Wednesday, when MSNBC announced that it would no longer simulcast the “Imus in the Morning” radio programâ€¦read on

When will all the other racist talk show hosts on Conservative radio be fired? They spew garbage all day long like Limbaugh and Beck with never any consequences. Instead, they get to go to the White House for message control.

Ahh good old Norm Coleman.

He’s what we got after Paul Wellstone’s plane mysteriously went down, killing everyone onboard.

His seat, is the one that tipped the balance of power and sealed the dual house majority for Bush.

I miss Paul Wellstone.

Methinks Sen. Coleman is afraid of winding up a one-term senator.

Hey, anyone hear any more about Guckert/GannonGate or PalfreyGate (The DC Madame who has everyone quaking in Congress….can’t wait to get those little black book details!)….Stay tuned….next week it will be the “Scandal (Flavor) Of The Week”! Bring ‘em on! heh-heh.

Sen Coleman turned Rachel Paulose into a speed bump.

Actually, once the depth of corruption is unearthed for everyone to see the ugly, disgusting state of affairs in all key positions staffed by Repugs, it will take twenty congresses to investigate all of the filth.

By: veritas

veritas — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 22:46:09 +0000

Maybe Paulose was “working under the covers” for her position? I wonder how many GOPigs she was sleeping with to get ahead? Time will tell as the whistleblowers and the book deals begin flying around.
