Lol, Obama does the same thing! Have you heard him talk in a place like Selma, AL v. a place like Chicago, Ill?
YouTube - Obama commemorates 1965 civil rights march in Selma, AL

YouTube - President-Elect Barack Obama in Chicago
Hilarious!

This is where Minnesotans just bandwagon hate on politicians they don't really know much about, but then elect clowns like Jesse the Body and Stuart Smalley to office.

I know Pawlenty personally, I knew him before he was governor, he is literally one of the most down to earth and nicest neighbors I had, especially in what is considered to be a "nice suburb neighborhood" where neighbors talk behind your backs and come running after you if you step on their lawn.

Jesse Ventura was an extremely better governor than Pawlenty. Here's an article that points of some of what he has accomplished for Minnesota.. http://www.examiner.com/hennepin-cou...-jesse-ventura

I don't care how "down to earth" Pawlenty may be, because his warped selfish political ideologies obviously cancel that out. Please explain, because maybe I'm missing something, but what good did Tim Pawlenty do for our state?

Default Pawlenty staffer takes Iowa residence by surprise

Pawlenty staffer arrested after trying to enter Ankeny home | Iowa Independent#

hey whadayou doin' here! oops...sorreee, wrong housh <vomit>

An Alabama man employed by the Pawlenty Exploratory Committee was arrested early Wednesday morning for allegedly trying to enter a home in Ankeny.
The Steward family said Foster was drunk and was trying to get home to a friend’s house in Johnston. They said he vomited in their backyard and scared their daughter.
Ankeny Police Chief Gary Mikulec said Foster told the officers he was staying at 6905 Jack London Dr., in Johnston.
That address would be the same address as state Rep. Erik Helland (R-Johnston) who in 2010 was arrested for driving while intoxicated. Helland was arrested and also charged with interference with official acts.

politicians are weird

Clowns?

I voted for Jesse Ventura for Governor, I didn't regret it for a minute, and I still don't. In comparison to the other two slimeballs running for that office at the time, Jesse was a breath of fresh air.

Sounds to me like you might be guilty of the same thing you accuse others of doing?

Jesse's a blowhard, whaddya expect, he's a pro wrestler. But I suspect he's onto something - his new book "63 Documents", is a pretty frightening window into the seedy underbelly of gov't machinations (one of the "documents" is a 60's era CIA assassination how-to manual).

As for Pawlenty, he's a hack, and perhaps the most boring public speaker alive. If he ever speaks the truth, it's purely by accident.
