because Norm Coleman has just handed him the gun with which to kill him (Coleman). I was doing my morning browing through news sources and at Politico saw a piece on the Crypt entitled Coleman: U.S. could earn 10 to 20 times bailout cost. It is a short piece. Coleman made the statement yesterday in a cafe at Mankato. And, as the article points out, while some analysts say the US might eventually recover the costs of a bailout, no one else has posited so rosy a scenario. My snip from the piece is short:
If Coleman was, in fact, referring to the $700 million upfront cost as his statement suggests, the U.S. government would make $7 to $14 trillion off the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
His campaign didn't comment.
I can't imagine why they didn't. (NOT)
For fun, why not in the comments offer the text of an ad that Franken could make out of this? And if not, at least have a chuckle at stupidity that ranks with Phil "Mental Recession" Gramm and Paul "Iraqi oil revenue will pay for the war" Wolfowitz.
