This is a post from a private message board that I wrote back in January of '04. With Coleman's re-election at stake, it is worth re-posting. Here it is:
"I went down to Butterfield 9 to meet Wendy after her committee dinner
last night. So I am sitting at the bar and these two guys sit down
next to me, one orders a Johnny Walker black on the rocks (which
happens to be what I am drinking), the other, a citron vodka. So
they get to talking and I am only 2 feet away so I hear what they are
talking about. The one sleaze starts talking to his friend about
his "friendship" with Ted Stevens (even though he voted against
Steven's ANWAR bill) and how he helped get the energy bill through so
that he could get 800 million dollars in subsidy to his "friends" in
the coal industry. He also mentioned that he was friends with the
President but that he won't back the President's budget because it
goes outside the fiscal parameters that Congress set... unless it is
certain that the budget will pass. Then he told his friend a very
disturbing "key to senatorial politics"... He only backs a bill he
knows will win and that way he can campaign on a "97% bill passage
rate". Norm Coleman. This is the guy that beat Mondale, right?
What a slimy fuck. Well, then the catering manager (?) for
Butterfield 9 came over grabbed Norm and his friend and took them to
there table. As she took them away the bartender made a distresed
face, being that they hadn't payed and the catering manager lady
simply waved the bartender off."
Nice.
