The never tire of their own bullshit
Rising Hegemon —
Your irrepressible asshole ladies and gentlemen, Norm Coleman: When asked about the recount and how it is affecting him personally, Coleman said he starts every day with a prayer and that he knows “God wants me to serve.” Well, if that's true God has a pretty funny way of showing it Norm. If that's right, I think your calling God a bit of a dick. Come to think of it, maybe he's talking about the pending criminal investigation and what God actually wants is for Norm to "serve" time?

... as well. Coleman closed the interview with an appeal to Gallagher’s listeners for contributions to his campaign website.
Also on Friday, Coleman talked to Tom Crann at Minnesota Public Radio, and tweaked his message for a listening audience that is decidedly more liberal than that of Gallagher’s. First, Coleman discussed his desire to serve without mention of God’s will. With more humble prose he stated, “I’ve been blessed to serve. I want to continue to serve.”

Coleman's fall from grace
Political Animal —
COLEMAN'S FALL FROM GRACE.... The combination of arrogance, desperation, and sanctimony is never a good combination, especially in politicians in the public eye. Take Norm Coleman , for example. Coleman is adept, somewhat too adept, his critics might say, at skillfully tailoring his message to his audience, and that skill set was on full display Friday. On Friday, Coleman made the media rounds with radio interviews that included conservative nationally syndicated radio talk show host Mike Gallagher ... an unyielding fiscal and religious conservative, who hosts one of the Top ...

God Backs Norm Coleman, Says Norm Coleman
The BRAD BLOG —
Speaking on wingnut radio Friday, MN's former Republican Senator Norm Coleman announced: "God wants me to serve."

Another reason to be an atheist
Brilliant at Breakfast —
God Himself wants Norm Coleman in the Senate. Hey, it's true. Norm says so: When asked about the recount and how it is affecting him personally, Coleman said he starts every day with a prayer and that he knows “God wants me to serve.” Coleman did later temper those rather immodest remarks by adding that he “is not indispensable” and that others can serve as well. Coleman closed the interview with an appeal to Gallagher’s listeners for contributions to his campaign website. Since Coleman is Jewish, perhaps he might consider that his God also ...
