Minnesota pwned

Norm Coleman, incumbent Republican senator from Minnesota is sliding behind in his race with SNL alum Al Franken. A good potion of it is Franken's response ad below.

Coleman had run an ad saying Franken was "angry" and unfit for office. The visuals showed an apparently angry Franken gesticulating.

The problem being that Coleman's people took the video from a story Franken told about Paul Wellstone and his son David. Wellstone was the Minnesota senator who was killed in a plane crash with most of his family, and whose seat Coleman now holds. the other problem was that Franken told the story with Daivd Wellstone sitting next to him.

Watch. Pwned.
