Easy question: More items in a For loop?

I'm trying to write a script that will parse IRC chat logs and color
code them if it finds certain characters.  I was able to make this
work with one character, but to make it even more accurate I would
like to use two identifying characters.  Here is my code :

import urllib2

response = urllib2.urlopen("http://192.168.1.100:81/%23pi.log")

tuna = response.readlines()[-10:]

for j in tuna:
                for e,n in j:
                        if e,n == "*"," ":
                                j = "This: " + str.strip(j) + " will
be Pink"
                        elif e,n == "<","%":
                                j = "This: " + str.strip(j) + " will
be yellow"
                        elif e,n == "<","@":
                                j = "This: " + str.strip(j) + " will
be dark pink"

                print(str.strip(j))

Obviously the "for e,n" business doesnt work, but I think it makes for
some decent pseudocode for what I'm trying to accomplish.

Here is some sample tuna:
['[7:55pm] <P0ke> My teachings goes back to the last iceage.\r\n',
'[7:55pm] <%Zack> ahh now it does\r\n', '[7:55pm] <%Zack> ok\r\n',
'[7:55pm] <P0ke> Or it is down just for you.\r\n', '[7:55pm] <@FC3>
which one? that -12000 ice age or the one before\r\n', '[7:55pm]
<P0ke> the earliest..\r\n', '[7:56pm] <P0ke> so.. 12000 quite long..\r
\n', '[7:56pm] <@FC3> the one created by the meteor then\r\n',
'[7:57pm] <P0ke> did not know that.. this is just a new teory I am
folding.\r\n', '[7:57pm] * P0ke test test test\r\n']
