So, I'm not sure if it would be funnier if this were true or if it were a hoax, but Minnesota Seabiscuit, a/k/a Former Senator Norm Coleman, claims he was attacked by a foul-mouthed, egg-hurling ruffian. While Casa de Coleman apparently took several direct egg-hits, Norm himself apparently remained unsoiled and um, er, low in cholesterol. Ducking the flying orb as smoothly as dodging an ethics charge, Coleman was apparently able to avoid getting -- ahem -- egg on his face.

If you ask me, this whole thing doesn't go over very easy -- I mean, how many times have the GOP clowns fabricated stories like this of non-existent attacks before? On the other hand, as far as we know, Coleman has not claimed that his attacker scratched a giant "O" for "Omelette" on his cheek, so this may be real:
Republican Norm Coleman used a quick George Bush-esque move to dodge an egg thrown at him outside his Minnesota home.
Coleman told police that he heard a thumping on his door Tuesday night and walked outside to investigate. Upon seeing Coleman, a man yelled “I [expletive] can't stand what you represent” and threw an egg at him.
“He said something, some little obscenity, and then he threw another one,” Coleman told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “I kind of ducked. A George Bush move.”
“I ran after him, but I didn't get him.”
But really, Norm? "I can't f-ing stand what you represent?" "What you represent" -- are you sure that's what he said Norm? 'Cause that last part sounds a bit made-up, if you ask me, almost as if you were trying to garner some political sympathy with a tale of a liberal scoundrel attacking you for "what you represent." Are you sure he didn't just say, "Hey, Norm -- I can't f-ing stand you, you colossal douchebag!" Are you sure your memory isn't a bit -- cough -- scrambled, perhaps?
But look on the sunny side, Norm -- you may be toast in the election, and your hard-boiled message may have grown weary, but at least your former constituents haven't started throwing shoes . . . yet.
