Electile Dysfunction

If your election lasts longer than six months, call... someone.

It just dawned on me a moment ago that the Minnesota senatorial election between Norm Coleman and Al Franken is well into its fifth month. And according to Firedoglake, there's yet another month's worth of paper chasing before it might end. On the positive side, a recent tally of votes put Franken up by an additional 87 votes, and a number of conservative commentators have recommended that Coleman give it up.

Because, face it, a prolonged election like this is not only painful, it can lead to serious long-term consequences, including permanent impertinence. Or impudence. Or something like that.

I'm interested to see what happens with the New York special election that just happened because it's even closer than Franken/ Coleman.

Will there be hypocrites galore? Probably.

This is worse than erectile dysfunction, this is member shortage.

They need that Bob guy from the commercials. He's always got a big grin on his face.
