PA-SEN, MN-SEN: Uhhh, what?

Dear Arlen, STFU

In an interview with the New York Times Magazine, the newly minted Democrat said he thinks Republican Norm Coleman should win his Senate recount court battle against Al Franken in Minnesota.

“There’s still time for the Minnesota courts to do justice and declare Norm Coleman the winner,” Specter said, when asked how he felt about the lack of Jewish Republicans in the Senate.

Well, I might be working a few dollars out of my budget for Joe Sestak.

I guess I can see how Specter is disheartened to see the Republican Senate caucus devoid of a Jewish voice, but suggesting that there would be anything just about seating Norm Coleman? Now he’s just being an ass.

The fact is that even a lot of Republicans will admit that Franken is likely the rightful Senator from Minnesota and the sooner we seat him, the sooner everyone can just get on with their lives. It takes a real low-life to buck the Democratic party-line on this issue.

If you’re still doubting that Specter is looking out for anything but himself or his buddies (which I was, I mean he can’t just do a 180 on half of his policy positions overnight), here’s all the proof you should need.

  3. Something has to be wrong with him or going on.  He just left The Republican Party basically because he couldn’t win the Primary and now is basically asking for a full on fight in the Democratic Primary?

    Sestak is no Toomey.  He would be well funded and have decent support.  

  4. This is a serious “jump the shark moment” and is just ludicrous.  Nevermind the ridiculousness of basing one’s opinion of who a court should seat on account of another’s religion. The point is that Franken’s Jewish too (his wife is Catholic, but that’s beside the point).  WTF, Arlen?

  5. but quite frankly, he doesnt even seem to want to be a Democrat.  We did a good deed by taking him and giving him the cover he needs to win but come on, this is getting a bit too much.
