Star Tribune:
Although he doesn’t have a seat, Al Franken will have the floor Tuesday when he meets with Democratic leaders in the U.S. Senate.
Franken, who is locked in a mandatory recount of the Nov. 4 balloting with Republican incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman, will update Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and others on the recount process, said his spokeswoman, Colleen Murray.
The Senate leaders and the candidate also will talk about upcoming legislation, she said.
…
Coleman’s communications director, Mark Drake, upped that ante, calling it “highly presumptuous for Mr. Franken to undertake such a visit when his real purpose appears to be fundraising and gaining partisan advantage from non-Minnesotans.”
Is it just me or is the stealing of a Senate seat deserving of sterner words than ‘highly presumptuous’?
