MINNEAPOLIS, MN: More than seven months after the election, former Senator Norm Coleman has conceded the Minnesota Senate race to challenger Al Franken. Right after his lame speech, Coleman headed to the airport and was reported to visit the men's room stall made famous by Sen. Larry Craig.

Craig, who left his senate seat the same day as Coleman, had a wide open schedule and one of his aides leaked that he was headed to Minneapolis for nostalgia's sake and to comfort Coleman. TALONNEWS was unable to verify the story, or Coleman's ticket to Argentina, but we report, you decide.

Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty immediately called for a Men's Room User Fee for former senators. "Coleman owes the state a lot of money for wasting our time." Democrats in the state legislature responded by calling for an "Obstruction Fee" for governors who play political games when the state needs full representation in Congress.
