Coleman Says 'God Wants Me to Serve'

[Are_grits_groceries]

<snip>
When asked about the recount and how it is affecting him personally, Coleman said he starts every day with a prayer and that he knows “God wants me to serve.” Coleman did later temper those rather immodest remarks by adding that he “is not indispensable” and that others can serve as well. Coleman closed the interview with an appeal to Gallagher’s listeners for contributions to his campaign website.

Also on Friday, Coleman talked to Tom Crann at Minnesota Public Radio, and tweaked his message for a listening audience that is decidedly more liberal than that of Gallagher's. First, Coleman discussed his desire to serve without mention of God’s will. With more humble prose he stated, “I’ve been blessed to serve. I want to continue to serve.”

If a God appeared and took him to Hell for rendition, he would deserve it. :puke:

1. He really is a worm.

Now he pretends to know the mind of God.

2. This one's for you, Norm

I'd sell your heart to the junkman baby
For a buck, for a buck
If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch
You're out of luck, you're out of luck
Ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business

Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick
It's a job, it's a job
Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob
It's all over
It's all over
It's all over
There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away on business, business

Godddamn there's always such a big temptation
To be good, to be good
There's always free cheddar in a mousetrap, baby
It's a deal, it's a deal
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business

I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby
Let her ring, let her ring
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business

Lyrics by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan

5. You know what? I agree with him! It's God's will Norm serve.

Hey Norm! Bring some fucking French fries! Serve me right freakin' NOW!

Jeeze, he's still not here? Little runt ain't gettin more than 15% out of me.

[Blue_In_AK]

7. I thought maybe it was God's will for him to serve

some time. :rofl:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

6. Having been elected God, I deny the charge.

My election was entirely fair, the vote was 1-0, and being a secret ballot I refuse to say how I voted.

[blogslut]

8. Then become a Rabbi, Norman!

Geeze, what an arrogant jerk.

[Enrique]

9. what does God have against Franken?

10. Sorry, Norm, God Doesn't Vote

The people of Minnesota do, and they voted for AL.

Deal with it.

[chollybocker]

11. Yes, Norm, God wants you to serve. Hamburgers and fries.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

20. I was thinking more like 10 to 20

[madaboutharry]

12. Norm Coleman

used to be named Norman Goldman, but that was when he lived in Brooklyn. Then he decided he didn't want to be "too Jewish" so he changed his name. He seemed to be running from God back then.

[Jane Austin]

17. Wikipedia sez his parents are named "Coleman".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_Coleman

Who is correct?

[spanone]

13. god means mccdonald's norm, burgers & fries

[SalmonChantedEvening]

14. Not even at a cotton candy stand.

Norm, deep down you do realize that invoking deitys you know full well would reject you Sight UnFNseen is simply bad form. Don't you?

Say you do Norm. Cmon. Then hit the lecture tour and earn coin misleading the gullible. It's been your calling all along.

Bye Norm.

[Uben]

16. Good, get a job at McDonalds!

You can qualify with some training!

18. Here's a song for Mr “God wants me to serve”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lzb-jYZrLE

God money, I'll do anything for you
God money, just tell me what you want me to
God money, nail me up against the wall
God money, don't want everything he wants it all

No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me

Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control

Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve

God money's not looking for the cure
God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure
God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
God money's not one to choose

[Canuckistanian]

19. God wants him to serve as a prison cook?

He can do lots of serving in that job.

[Pryderi]

21. Wow...taking a page out of "W"s playbook. n/t

[Le Taz Hot]

22. Jon Stewart had the absolutely BEST retort

for these fools claiming to have a mainline to GAWD.

"Those voices in your head? Not always God."

[baldguy]

23. 15 to 20 in a Federal prison

[Pryderi]
