Pawlenty: No evidence of wrongdoing in MN election

Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty told Fox's Chris Wallace that there was no truth to the rumor that ballots were found in the trunk of an election officials car. The Minnesota Governor said that he knew of no suspicious activity in the tight race between Sen. Norm Coleman and Al Franken. As of this moment we know of no actual evidence of wrongdoing or fraud in the process, Said Pawlenty.

Earlier this week, Pawlenty told Fox's Megyn Kelly that he found suspicion in the story of the found ballots. Pawlenty said, and there has not been a good explanation for that, Kelly. That's a very good question, but they've been included in the count pile which is concerning.

Coleman's lawyer Fritz Knack had originally pushed the story of the found ballots. David Brauer of the Minnesota Post debunked the idea of ballot tampering. Nevertheless, pundits and reporters have continued to cite the story.

Sen. Coleman currently has a slim lead over Franken and a recount is expected.

Mark Ritchie On Sen. Coleman's Campaign

I love this guy.
First he says it, then he backtracks.
I really think he doesn't know which way is up.
Take a look for yourself and see politics at its finest.

Al Franken Jokes about Al Queda Killing Bush

Here is Al Franken at the 2004 Republican Convention in New York. He is with a man who identified himself as the sign-language interpreter for President Bush at the Convention, and Mr. Franken proceeds to tell him about a "funny, stupid thing" he could have done.

The man was in fact an actor in an independent film, who was indeed filmed on the floor of the Convention.

Al Franken Draws The United States Of America

If you're not familiar with Franken's politics, here are some classic Franken quotes to help you catch up:

"[G. W. Bush's] pro-air pollution Clear Skies Initiative is designed to clear the skies of birds." - The Truth (with jokes)

"No Child Left Behind is the most ironically named act, piece of legislation since the 1942 Japanese Family Leave Act." - in response to the 2004 SOTU address

"During the Reagan Administration, Bob Dole was present at a ceremony that included each living ex-president. Looking at a tableau of Ford, Carter and Nixon, Dole said, 'There they are: Hear No Evil, See No Evil and Evil.'" - Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot

"If you put the two Bushs together in their over seven years of their two presidencies, not one new job has been created. Numbers do not lie. If you extrapolated from that, if the Bushs had run this country from its very beginning to the current time, not one American would have ever worked. We'd be hunter-gatherers." - in response to the 2004 SOTU address

"I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me."
- (as Stuart Smalley)
