Norm Coleman briefly spoke to reporters outside his election trial after it ended for the day, and he stressed the importance of the drawn-out proceedings we’ve seen — with a handy pop-culture reference.

“What you’re observing out there may not seem as exciting as what you see on Law & Order,” said Coleman. “But the principles that we’re fighting for, that I fully believe are being established today, are more important than anything you’ll see on Law & Order.”

Later on he said that the trial is “not as exciting as Law & Order, though I’d take [Coleman attorney] Joe Friedberg over Fred Thompson, at least in the courtroom.”

Fred Thompson must be feeling pretty put down right now. First Norm endorsed Rudy Giuliani for the Republican nomination, and now this.
