Reply #9: That's the worst-kept secret in the state

Coleman used to live in DC. His wife lived in California with a "budding acting career". It's an unfortunate fact about Hollywood that for women, the older you get, the less roles you are offered. And if you're a relative unknown, your odds on "making it big" are that much more slim the older you get. According to IMDB, Laurie Coleman has acted in six roles since 1998.

Norm apparently likes Asian women, and has been seen numerous times with women not his wife in bars around St. Paul when he was mayor. (He switched parties in the middle of his term 'cause he knew that he couldn't defeat Wellstone in a primary.)

We don't call him "Zipper" 'cause he invented it.

But after all these years, nothing's come of Norm's extra-marital efforts. I don't think anything will.
