The Fox Nation, Gateway Pundit blog, and Mickey Kaus all highlighted a Minneapolis Star Tribune column to claim or suggest that ACORN stole the 2008 Minnesota Senate election for Sen. Al Franken (D).

Expect to continue to hear all sorts of rediculous-anus claims coming from the wingnuts on this - as is/was the plan.
