Yesterday I shared a colorful DFL press release about Gov. Pawlenty's participation in a GOP "orgy" - and I predicted it wouldn't be long before the Republicans provided some inbox entertainment of their own.
Here you go.
The state GOP's response to Al Franken winning an award from the Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing Minnesotans:

Republican Party Of Minnesota Presents Al Franken With The "Most Disenfranchising Campaign" Award
ST. PAUL - With Al Franken set to receive an award from the Commission of Deaf, Blind and Hard of Hearing Minnesotans for having the "Most Accessible Campaign," Ron Carey, Chairman of the Republican Party of Minnesota, announced another award that Mr. Franken won today.
"During each phase of the recount and election contest, only one candidate can claim to have tried to disenfranchise as many Minnesota voters as Al Franken. After initially supporting the counting of every wrongly rejected absentee ballot, Franken sought to only count those ballots from heavily DFL areas, leaving thousands of Minnesota voters disenfranchised. He also has the dubious distinction of trying to disenfranchise every Minnesota voter by attempting to force the Governor and Secretary of State to issue an election certificate in violation of state law. It is for these reasons that we present Al Franken with the Republican Party of Minnesota's 'Most Disenfranchising Campaign' award."

This, incidentally, comes two days after lawyers for Norm Coleman said the election results should be "set aside."
