Reid: Coleman will "never ever serve"

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid offered the toughest language he has ever used in arguing that Norm Coleman’s career in the Senate is finished.

“Norm Coleman will never ever serve [again] in the Senate,” Reid told Politico’s Manu Raju. “He lost the election. He can stall things, but he'll never serve in the Senate.”

Al Franken was declared the winner today by the state’s Canvassing Board in the closely-contested Minnesota Senate race, defeating Sen. Norm Coleman by 225 votes. Coleman’s campaign has said it is contesting the result, preventing Franken from receiving an election certificate until all the legal challenges are resolved.

Reid added that he will not be trying to seat Franken in the Senate on Tuesday. When asked if Franken would be sworn in tomorrow, Reid said: "No."

In his victory statement today, Franken said he was “ready to go to Washington and get to work just as soon as possible.” But a Franken campaign spokesman said he has not yet made plans to travel to Washington.

Senate Republican leadership has threatened to filibuster any attempt to seat Franken before his victory is officially certified.

Harry Reid... makes you want to knock his glasses off then knock them back on.I think he has in the back of his head that he is above the law and the Constitution .

Dirty Harry Reid is a fuctard

I just heard Burris talking all fuzzy about him makes you wonder what kind of people we have speaking for us.

To answer that question Sully just look at Al Franken...U.S.Senator...what a freakin joke (and he wasn't even funny as a so-called comedian....hey,maybe he has found a home among the other so-called jokesters).

Just the ones we elected....

Burner .....maybe that is why Franken ran for the job someone told him that it was just a joke so he joined.

This whole political machine has gone to Hell. Just idiocy and conspiracy. If we can't have leaders with original ideas then by God we will create them using the latest tech. Obama is not MLK and Caroline Kennedy is NOT King Arther and there is no such thing a " Camelot ". There never was either! This has been validated to the whole nation by a complete moron named Al Franken. At least we lead the world when it comes to actual Court Jesters.

You don't need an IQ to fit the bill when it comes to national leaders these days. You just need to play the part and the media will do the rest.
