Another bite of the apple?

GOP Sen. Norm Coleman's campaign announced today in a news release and by twitter that the National Rifle Association has endorsed Coleman...

Today Senator Norm Coleman was honored to receive the National Rifle Association endorsement for his re-election campaign. Senator Coleman joined with Todd Palin, husband of Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President of the NRA, at a rally today in Hermantown.

The only problem is...

Coleman received the NRA endorsement ten days ago.

In fact, the FEC website shows that the NRA bought $24,500 worth of radio ads against Al Franken an $24,500 worth of radio ads for Norm Coleman on October 10th.
