Comments on: Texas Businessman Files Lawsuit Claiming He Was Forced To Funnel $75,000 To Norm Coleman’s Wife http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/31/coleman-wife-lawsuits/ Fri, 27 Nov 2009 04:34:18 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: mmanion http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/31/coleman-wife-lawsuits/comment-page-1/#comment-5318786 mmanion Sat, 01 Nov 2008 19:25:25 +0000 http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/31/coleman-wife-lawsuits/#comment-5318786 Max-1 @ 1 No kidding. It's starting to look like Nieman Marcus in Mpls is simply a front operation for the GOP. So I guess I'm not dropping any bombshells by stating once again that Coleman is a sleaze. I blogged about a personal experience with him a few years back <a href="http://mickeymusing.vox.com/library/post/senator-coleman-votes-against-stem-cell-research.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>: . I'm surprised Laurie Coleman is working. She had big dreams of Hollywood stardom that apparently didn't pan out. For most of his early Senate career, she lived 2,000 miles away from him, not that he ever seemed particularly lonely. Max-1 @ 1
