Dueling ads in senate campaign

Sen. Norm Coleman placed a full page ad in today's Star Tribune taking a potshot at challenger Al Franken for calling the senate resolution chastising Moveon.org "ridiculous." Over a washed out photo of Franken, the ad attacks the comedian for helping to raise money for the liberal advocacy group.

Today the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee released its own ad critiquing Coleman's voting record. Featuring a beaming photo of Minnesota's senior senator with President Bush, it notes that Coleman votes with the White House 90 percent of the time.

See the ads after the jump:

In the photo at top: Are Norm and "King" George W. Betrayus celebrating their great plan to stop Bin Laden's 9/11 commercials and fight Al Qaeda? Wait, they're just celebrating their pants-shitting election wins. What's the mission again?

The more Franken supports MoveOn, the more votes he'll get. Coleman's ad is a gift to Franken's campaign.

Watch Franken run to the center after the primary. That will make all you liberals happy?

I love the picture of the semi-illiterate ape man embracing the guy from an ad for teeth bleaching.

Franken's not running a centrist campaign now?

Ron, the Left is comprised of people who have ALWAYS been against this war. The Center is for them that figured it out after we got in.

And the Right, of course, still hasn't figured any of this out. (Someone really needs to alert No Child Left Behind.)

But the best laugh out loud is in Norm's own ad: colemanforsenate.com/ridiculous. Is someone in Al's camp working for Norm?
