Al Franken Has Won In The Minnesota Supreme Court

Man, I didn’t even realize this was still going on. Note to Bravo: please start putting a political news ticker at the bottom of Real Housewives. From the AP:

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Supreme Court has ordered that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state’s long-running Senate race.

The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining the Senate seat are dwindling.

Justices said Franken is entitled to the election certificate he needs to assume office. With Franken and the usual backing of two independents, Democrats will have a big enough majority to overcome Republican filibuster.

Yay!

Of course:

Coleman hasn’t ruled out seeking federal court intervention.

That guy. Totally one of the best guys. Cafe Press is actually sold out of “World’s Best Guy” mousepads because Norm Coleman’s friends made a run on the place.

Al Franken’s Campaign Ad Spoofs Are Terribly Serious And Unfunny

Al Franken is running against Norm Coleman in Minnesota’s Senate race this year. Good for him. He seems like a smart enough guy with some good ideas in his head. But it’s really hard to watch his campaign ads without thinking it’s some kind of parody.

“Did you guys see Saturday Night Live this weekend? It was weird how it was only 30 seconds long and it aired Sunday afternoon. Also it was kind of sad. I’m an idiot.”

More Al Franken ads after the jump.
