Menendez: Coleman's Pitch At Throwing Out Election "A New Low"

Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ), the chairman of the DSCC, has released this statement in response to the Coleman legal team's suggestion that the Minnesota election court could throw out the whole result:

"Today Norm Coleman's camp has reached a new low. After five weeks in court, they are now asking for the results of the election to be thrown out. That's not how we do elections in this country. Minnesota's hand-recount has been one of the most careful and thorough in the history of the United States. When you are behind in the vote, you can try to pretend the election never happened, but for the sake of the people of Minnesota - and the country - it is time to stop throwing gas on the fire and allow everyone to move on, so that Minnesota has full representation, the Senate has all of its members, and we can get done the work we were all elected to do."

Yea, yea Coleman is scum....

I'm still upset about Menendez's blocking needed nominations in order to force his failed Cuba policy.

"Today Senator Bob Menendez reached a new low. After eight years in faith-based science, he is now asking for the nominations to the White House Office of Science and the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to be stopped. That's not how we do nominations in this country. President Obama's electoral repudiation of anti-science has been one of the most welcome and thorough in the history of the United States. When you are behind in your position on Cuba, you can try to pretend the President should not be able to staff key administrative posts, but for the sake of the people of the United States - and the world - it is time to stop throwing good policy after bad regarding Cuba and allow everyone to move on, so that Country once again bases its science policy on science, the Administration staff has all of its members, and we can get past the utter failure of our half-century plus failed policy towards Cuba."

Fixed your statement for ya Menendez, ya dumbass.
