If you aren’t watching the Michael Brown senate hearings, you just missed a real treat. Sen. Norm Coleman (R), doofus senator from Minnesota, just managed to get his butt kicked by disgraced former FEMA Director Michael Brown.

That’s a singular accomplishment.

Coleman tried the standard hearings grandstanding against a disgraced or weakened witness — a tactic pretty much written into the DNA of every senator and rep. But Brown managed to get in Coleman’s face and turn the tables on him.

At the end, Coleman actually used the fact that he had run out of time to run away from the encounter with Brown. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that happen before.
