Coleman: Democrats blocking constituent service
By FREDERIC J. FROMMER , Associated Press

Last update: January 9, 2009 - 5:29 PM


WASHINGTON -- Former Sen. Norm Coleman accused Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Friday of backing out of an agreement to let Coleman's staffers wrap up constituent cases, leaving hundreds of people in limbo.

A spokesman for Reid, a Nevada Democrat, denied there was ever such a deal.

Coleman's allegations are the latest ding against Reid this week. The majority leader had to back off his earlier statement that the Democratic caucus would not seat Roland Burris, a Democrat who had been appointed to fill President-elect Barack Obama's seat by Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

1. See Norm, that's what happens when you lose your election
You should have tied up all these loose ends a month ago. And now your former constituents are going to suffer. Nice service you rendered there. Whyn't you go on back to wherever it was you came from, and let the good people of Minnesota enjoy some quality representation for a change? Like they used to have with Paul Wellstone?

Is that not true, Normie?

And if they didn't, well, just shows ya what a hack of Administrator he was. Glad to have you done with my state, asshole.

3. He strikes me as nothing more than a party hack -- concerned more about party politics
& political power than he would be about "real-life stuff".

Once again, it's time for Barbara Boxer to gently explain to him that elections have consequences, that he'll have to deal with the loss like a big boy.

Then, send him home with one of these:
