Coleman On Cheap DC Rent: Minnesotans Are Glad I Live So Humbly
By Eric Kleefeld - August 15, 2008 - http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/08/coleman_on_cheap_dc_rent_minne.php

Norm Coleman took some tough questions today from the press back in Minnesota about his interesting housing deal in Washington, which involves him renting a studio apartment on Capitol Hill from a political contributor for only $600 per month.
For months, the senator had no written lease and paid no utility bills.
Coleman's answer: People appreciate that he's living so humbly.

As Minnesotans face record the skyrocketing prices at the gas pump, and as oil companies continue to post record profits, the Minnesota DFL Party today released a spoof web video featuring W. Ralston Biggs Jr., CEO of Biggs Oil, talking about Norm Coleman's record of supporting special interests over the interests of working Minnesotans.
