With the swearing-in of Kirsten Gillibrand as the new Senator from New York, Minnesota will be the only state represented by one Senator. That's because former Sen. Norm "Sore Loser" Coleman is dragging the process out for as long as possible, despite a recount that he lost by 225 votes to former Saturday Night Live comedian Al Franken. His lawyer predicts a "very, very tedious proceeding" beginning with today's lawsuit by Sore Loser. Not surprisingly, he's also enlisted the infamous Rethug lawyer Ben "Screw Democracy" Ginsberg, who was one of the malefactors in the Bush v. Gore Florida recount farce; if you can't win fairly, cheat and steal.
