Hollow Man = Coleman

[DemonFighterLives]

For those who have never seen it, here is from Garrison Kiellor about Normie. The first google came up with a freep link :puke:
Then I found this one.

Norm Coleman won Minnesota because he was well-financed and well-packaged. Norm is a slick retail campaigner, the grabbiest and touchingest and feelingest politician in Minnesota history, a hugger and baby-kisser, and he's a genuine boomer candidate who reinvents himself at will. The guy is a Brooklyn boy who became a left-wing student radical at Hofstra University with hair down to his shoulders, organized antiwar marches, said vile things about Richard Nixon, etc. Then he came west, went to law school, changed his look, went to work in the attorney general's office in Minnesota. Was elected mayor of St. Paul as a moderate Democrat, then swung comfortably over to the Republican side. There was no dazzling light on the road to Damascus, no soul-searching: Norm switched parties as you'd change sport coats.

--
He's condemned to a life of small arrangements. There will be no passion, no joy, no heroism, for him. He is a hollow man. The next six years are not going to be kind to Norm.

More at the link. It is more true today than when it was written.

2. Does he rip him on PHC?

I haven't heard that in some time. The guy I work with hates Kiellor because his friends said Garrison is a prick. I told him he must be hanging around too many repuglicans. He also admitted to disliking Franken and then I knew he was losing it. Darn guy has been a democrat all his life, but can not stand someone with an opinion. I don't know how I get along, because I give em hell harry all the time.

3. He's a chameleon who simply reflects what they tell him to.

No set of true beliefs. No soul. Shallow.

He must be a very sad man.

4. after an LTTE in the Strib dissing Keillor's piece

I wrote a response, and it got printed.

Garrison is a national treasure, the closest person we have had to Mark Twain in this century. When he calls Norm the weasel an empty suit, you have to believe him.
