Norm Coleman's stimulus plan for Republican lawyers

A short time ago, Norm Coleman announced his intention to file a legal challenge to Al Franken's victory in Minnesota's U.S. Senate race.

Yes, this is the same Norm Coleman who two months ago -- when he was leading the vote count process -- said that if he were in Al Franken's shoes, he'd step aside.

Now, two months, several lawsuits, and painstakingly comprehensive recount later, Norm Coleman has changed his mind and has decided all he wants to do is sue.

The thing is, Coleman doesn't stand a chance of winning the election, whatever the outcome of his legal battle. The only reason he's pressing his case is to curry favor with DC Republicans who want to do anything possible to obstruct the Democratic agenda in the Senate.
