Big old stinky feet

Facts are never what they seem when former Senator and current circus clown Norm Coleman is in the ring.  According to The Hill, as reported by TPM, on Tuesday night and into Wednesday, Coleman's campaign circulated this message:

We have discovered that all on-line Coleman contributors had their full credit card details released onto the Internet on 28 of [January], 2009, by Coleman's staff.

Which would be ridiculous enough.


But apparently the Coleman camp must believe that Al Franken has somehow infiltrated his staff because, according to Coleman's folks, the email or the release of the credit card information "by Coleman's staff" - it's hard to tell which is their current theory since they're still telling their contributors to cancel their credit cards - was possibly "a political dirty trick" intended to hamper his legal efforts and scare away his contributors. Or something like that.

I suppose the fact that they apparently waited over a month to report the possible disclosure of the credit card information to the credit card holders - which is presumably a violation of the law itself - was also a dirty, Franken trick.

What a clown.
