Sen Franken, D-MN day of victory

[MinnPost photo by Jay Weiner]
Coleman-Franken Senate race: The day the recount ended and the fight turned into something really nice

Justice triumphed on June 30, two Tuesdays ago.

Follow the links and read a really good recounting (oh no I didn't say that) of the day's events when Al finally won and ex-Senator Norm Coleman came to accept the agony of defeat.

Jay Weiner chronicles the day's events, to the minute. That's the funny part.

"At 1 p.m., " Minn Supremes give verdict...
"By 1:47, " Coleman lackey announces press conference at the now-ex-senator's home for 3pm...
"Just past 3 p.m., " Coleman concedes, tells the Gov to sign Franken's election certificate...
"As if on cue, at 3:17", the Gov sez he'll do just that...
"By 4:20", Franken emerges from his house (above) and accepts graciously.

By 4:20. Oh yeah, "by" heh heh 4:20. Heh heh heh, I'm laughing like Bevis. And Butthead. At 4:20. OK, it's 4:22 where I am.

Really itsa great story at MinnPost.com; read it.
