CNN

I wish Norm a speedy recovery. To the other people with mean-spirited comments, how dare you! God forbid anything happens to you, hopefully nobody will say awful things about your unfortunate situation. And yes, 250 million people would be covered for this in this country. The other 50 million (including illegals and those who don't want coverage) will have tax payers foot the bill anyways. Believe it or not, most hospitals write off bills if you cannot afford it and can prove that you cannot. It is just a tax write off for them! I should know my mother had one of hers written off. Anyways my two cents!

nobody deserves what he has and I hope he can overcome it. And I don't support the far right AT ALL but would not wish ill health to them. That's not for me to decide.

My spouse was diagnosed with that and with no health insurance, we had to pay out over $600 for the diagnosis and treatment (it is curable by the way)

Why, is CNN reporting this on there political ticker?
Americans are diagnoses with this decease everyday.
Coleman, was rejected by his own voters. CNN reporting this gives credence to the Rock Star persona that GOP politicians have always wanted to achieve in the public eye, like the Hollywood types.
I certainly hope Colemans fairs well with this battle.

"Let the wackos suffer"
So now you are cursing:
PETA
SEIU
Code Pink
ACORN, etc
You did say let the WACKOS suffer, right? Yep, it appears you did!

Its not "all in his head." I had a friend in college who came down with this very same thing, and its very real. Luckily, it passes with time and isn't that serious.
None of this, of course, should be taken to suggest that I'm a Coleman supporter. I find him to be almost the archetype of the 'politician' and willing to say and do what ever it takes to get elected at the time.
But, that being said, I don't hate the man enough to wish any injury upon him. So, let me just say this: "Norm, I'm glad you lost the last election, but let me wish you a full and speedy recovery over the next few months"

What is wrong with some of you people!!!!!! I truly hope your parents did not raise you to be so unkind and ungracious!!!!

al franken is a poop on a stick.

HaHaHaHa and Just Me, you have to be two of the most ignorant people on the internet!

He'll be just fine. I've experienced having a boss who was diagnosed with the same. Not sorry he lost the election but he also needs to get away from the stress.

I guess if I lost my senate seat in a bitter contest that dragged on for months, my face will start drooping too. Stop the malingering Norm. You lost. Get some counseling, find another job, and get on with your life! The Bell Palsy is all in your head.

Gee good thing he has health insurance.

I am not a fan of Sen. Coleman......but I wish him well and hope he feels better soon.

I wish him a speedy full recovery.

Though I hope that his disgrace as a politician haunts him for the rest of his life.

Lucky Coleman!He has gov. insurance.

Get well soon sir

Too bad. I hope this republican/democrat turncoat has good health insurance. He might have been covered had his new peers supported a publc option, but since this is a progressive disease it had to be a prior illness and I expect himt o be dropped immediately by his insurance company. Turnabout is only fair play.

I do not agree with Coleman ideologically, but I am sorry to hear he has this condition.
If it is curable, I hope he has the resources to get the treatment needed.

Too bad, God bless him and his family.

While i do not like his politics, i am sorry he has Bell's palsy. Hey but at leaST HE CAN GET TREATMENT.

Who cares

but he was such an ass this last election

I am glad he lost his seat but I wish him a speedy recovery.

Stay strong! Get well, May God bless!

Having suffered Bell's Palsy, it is an aggrevating condition. Mine lasted about six weeks and I could not taste, my face and tongue were numb, my speech was slurred, and the left side of my face drooped. My wife had to tape my eye shut and put sauve in my eye to not dry out at night. Eventually it goes away, but the possiblity of recurrence is high. I am not a Senator Coleman fan, but I wish him the best with this malady.

Ha Ha Ha Ha..........

DOES Anybody know what GEORGE W. BUSH was suffering of?

Ha Ha Ha........

What a Joke.......

GEORGE W. BUSH WAS AND IS SUFFERING OF – "GREED FOR OIL"

Ha Ha Ha......

And do you konw what ?????????

Nobody.........Nobody........ DIAGONSED IT BEFORE VOTING HIM AS PRESIDENT......... Nobody............ Nobody.

Ha Ha Ha Ha......... How Easily we Voters Can Be Fooled ...........

What a Joke....... What a Joke we Live in.............

Ringing in his ears??

Probably the stress of paying al those legal bills to try to steal an election. Good health to him in the future, just so long as he is not poisoning our political system any more.

I wish him well and hope he has a speedy recovery!

I wish Norm Coleman well------- but where is the ACORN story?????????????????????????

Norm I was disappointed in your willingness to drag out the election when we all knew that you lost and for changing party in 1996 when being a democrat wasn't kool. However much I may not be in step with your politics I can say that I am happy that you dodge the bullit. Good luck with your Bells Palsy.
ps Do you get medical for the rest of your life?

May you have a swift and complete recovery.

My best wishes to Coleman for a full and speedy recovery.

Bell's palsy happens, he'll probably get over it.

But since Coleman doesn't really have a life other than that of a professional politician wannabe, he probably won't ever get over that.

senator, i am sorry to hear of your predicament. i wish you a speedy recovery but may i ask? do you have health insurance ? if not then tell your colleagues republicans to pass one immediately so that you can also receive coverage. This is what many americans are facing, that is why we need health insurance reform.

May God Bless you!

I am truly sorry to hear about Norm Coleman's diagnosis.
However, one thing is most certain. He is going to teaciously fight this thing to the very end and beyond. If Norm Coleman has shown himself to be anything, he is a fighter. He will not quit. He will not faulter. And I wish him all the best

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery!

Does it have anything to do with talking out of the side of your mouth too much,Norm?

Did the former Senator get a blood test to check for Lyme's Disease? Bell's Palsy is a common side-effect of untreated (or undertreated) LD. I happen to know this little tidbit because I went through it last summer!

Sounds funny. I'd like to see and hear the freak try and speak:)

A POX on ALL Republicans, I say.

Let the wackos suffer. They are not human. They are bigots.

i like how the close the comments section 4 mins after the article is posted, now im commenting on the jay-z obama article, oh because im black im suppose to go along with another crooked political puppet because a rapper says so, sike

It's called Karma, all republicans should look it up. All your party's negativity, lies, non compassion, obstructionism and opposition to helping average Americans will backfire. What goes around comes around.

I feel so sorry for him. However, God is watching all of us in whatever we do. I pray for him and his family.

Mr. Coleman, to wish you well and a quick recovery.............I am a democrat and a Veteran......Godspeed sir!
