Norm Coleman loves lamp

The Sleuth, WaPo's D.C. insider blog by Mary Ann Akers, recently reported on a dumpster-diving expedition by Sen. Norm Coleman that left him sporting a giant gash on his head for last week's State of the Union address. In the post, Coleman claims his actress wife Laurie accidentally tossed an antique lamp that he was then enlisted to retrieve, whacking his head on a "piece of wood" in the process. A couple of questions come to mind about this tale: How does one inadvertantly throw away a lamp? And how does one strike their head on a piece of wood in a dumpster so hard that they "see stars?" If E. Howard Hunt hadn't died last week, I would guess he had something to do with this operation.
