Minnesota's former U.S. Senator Norm Coleman says half of his face is paralyzed by Bell's palsy. He says the condition is temporarily affecting most of the left side of his face, but he and his doctor expect a full recovery.

An interview with Coleman discussing his condition is posted online at BringMeTheNews.
