On Saturday, Minnesota counted more than 950 previously unopened absentee ballots and Al Franken added 176 votes to his lead, which is now 225.

With no more votes to count, will Republican Norm Coleman concede defeat? Of course not! Even though he hates trial lawyers, he will pay every one he can find to file every possible lawsuit until he finds an "activist judge" who is willing to overturn the will of the people.

OK, so Norm Coleman is a super-sore loser. But what about Republican leaders in Washington who demanded "bipartisanship" from President-elect Obama and the Democratic Congress? Will they demonstrate "bipartisanship" by recognizing Al Franken as the Senator chosen by the people of Minnesota?

Of course not! Senate Republicans plan to filibuster Franken's swearing-in.

As former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX) famously said, "Bipartisanship is another name for date rape."
