Hoping that the campaign ads were over for a couple years? Well, not in Minnesota. In spite of the fact that the election is over and no one will be able to cast any more votes, the Minnesota Republican Party has cut another anti-Franken ad. Even more exciting is the fact that it attacks Franken's ethics, comparing his tax problems to several of Obama's cabinet nominations:
Why is that exciting?! Perhaps the funniest reason is that if Coleman were to be declared the victor in this Senate race, he would certainly face a Senate Ethics investigation for not paying the utility bill of his apartment, for getting sweetheart rent deals, for not reporting $75,000 in gifts, and of course, the infamous suits:
Most importantly, Al Franken's tax problems have been remedied. He's filed appropriately in the other states where he earned money, and because he originally only paid taxes in states that he resided in, he overpaid those two states significantly. Odd that the GOP is attacking a mistake that has been remedied while their candidate refuses to even answer questions about his problems, let alone resolve them.
