Seriously.
Norm Coleman is filing suit against Al Franken for defamation of character over a political ad. Not even a particularly nasty one at that.
Sam Stein over At Huff Po has the story
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
Appears this is a common tactic for ole' Norm, he has filed three suits against his former political opponents.
1998 Against Hubert Humphry
2002 Against Wellstone
and again in 2002 against Wellstone
Oh, this lawsuit?
an advertisement that the Franken campaign aired that claimed Coleman was a stooge of oil interests
Can someone say frivolous lawsuit?
Sheesh
