Norm (left) when he was still a Democrat and a mayor before trying to win the governor's race (losing miserably to former WWF wrestler, Jesse "The Body" Ventura). Dick Cheney then personally told Bush patsy (now Governor) Tim Pawlenty to vamoose the Senate race so the east coast turncoat would be able to run unopposed against the man Coleman called 'the worst senator in Minnesota history'. Wellstone however, often referred to as the "best senator in Minnesota history", inched ahead of Coleman, and in the days before the election "mysteriously died in a freak plane crash". (Cindy Sheehan's mother had a "sudden stroke" right when her protest story reached the highest level of the news cycle, and had to leave the gates of Guantanamo Bush in Midbrain, Texas to attend to her Mother.)
At any rate, $6,000 later (20% trophy-wife discount applied) and the way smoothed by the removal of both Tim Pawlenty and Paul Wellstone, the Cheney lapdog had new cosmetic teeth and was installed in the Senate to aid in the return of the effective swing vote of Cheney's occasional presiding role in the Senate. In other words, Jar-Jar Binks.
UPDATE: Coleman ingratiates himself with the American Dental Association.
