The Daily Background

… So seat him already.

The Obama administration stated its support on Tuesday for a three-judge panel ruling that Al Franken had received the most votes in the Senate election in Minnesota. But spokesman Robert Gibbs wouldn’t go so far as to call for Franken’s seating.

“I haven’t talked to the President about that action,” Gibbs said about the possibility of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid putting the Democratic challenger in Congress, “other than just to say what the three judge panel ruled as it pertains to this case and who received the most votes.” It was one of the first — if not the first — comments on the recount from the White House.

It’s really kind of pathetic that the White House can’t just say “seat him already.”
