When I was a prosecutor, we used to say on closing arguments, I’d stand
in front of the jury and I’d say, You know, you got to watch out for
the rabbit out of the hats trick. And what happens is that the defense
would come in, they got a hat, a magician’s hat, and they got lots of
rabbits, and they go running around. And they hope that one member of
the jury chases one of those rabbits and takes their eye off the goal,
the main thing being the main thing.
And so we have the rabbit of personal relations, and we have the rabbit
of violating procedure, and we have the rabbit of lack of candor, we
have the rabbit of bad policy judgments.

Norm Coleman, a jack of all rabbits.
“The main thing being the main thing?” Truly, the Senate has lost a master rhetorician.
I swear, the man can certainly turn a phrase. Turned inside out, that is.
Even Dubya would be opposed to the torture Coleman puts our language through.
See ya Norm!
I’m sure there’s a nice, comfy barstool out there with your name on it.
good that he lost.
