Asshole Decides to Stop Being a Dick

Coleman is a hero.

In a press conference just now, former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) has conceded defeat to the Democratic comedian Franken in the 2008 Senate race -- nearly eight months after Election Day, and six months after the seat went vacant when Coleman's single term had expired. Coleman said that further litigation would damage the state, and congratulated Sen.-elect Franken on his victory. He said his future plans in politics "are a subject for another day."

It's called losing gracefully. Norm is someone all our children can look up to, much like Idi Amin. When I was a very young child, my father sat me down and told me "if you lose, act like you haven't and keep saying it until your opponent goes crazy." It was also a classic Jesus tactic.
