The long, needlessly drawn-out fight to get Minnesota a second Senator today has an offshoot that ought to raise at least a grim smile

Norm Coleman owes Al Franken $95,000 in court costs.

As someone says in the comments on that page, though, it's really only funny until you reflect on the reality of the thousands of dollars and months of time wasted.

And all this because Coleman didn't want to give up the fight even after court after court, and recount after recount, told him he had fallen short.

Sheesh...
