Pawlenty was in an interview with Wolf Blitzer and seems to be falling back on the jokes about his wife again. This one’s actually fairly funny, but I’m interested to see how long TPaw runs with these wife jokes:
BLITZER: One quick question before I let you go: Has anyone from the McCain campaign started to vet you yet as a vice presidential running mate?
PAWLENTY: They have not. I haven’t been asked. I don’t expect to be asked. But you’re always kind to inquire about that — Wolf.
BLITZER: Hey, governor, appreciate it very much. You’re on the short list. That’s what everyone says.
PAWLENTY: Well, my wife says I’m on a different kind of list. But thank you, nonetheless.

Totally inappropriate for the setting, but not an unfunny joke. I would wager that he’s actually in his wife’s doghouse lately and thus he’s got her on the mind.
Wow, you guys bash Pawlenty for anything. Joke is hilarious, and he hanled himself very well with the question. C’mon
Okay, fine, the joke is pretty funny. I just found it equally as funny that Stassen-berger is poking fun at his string of wife related jokes. I’m actually editing the post above to reflect this, as I should have to begin with.
Like Larry Sinclair’s attorney, maybe he should start wearing a kilt.
I kind of like Pawlenty… I certainly disagree with most of his positions but I dunno, we certainly couldve done worst. My favorite quote was when he was talking about the Minnesota Zoo and putting more into it, he said something like “Well if we’re going to have a zoo let’s not have a sucky one.” McCain should really pick him, they’d be a good team.
Was reading last night on some national blogs that one key to see how badly Obama is going to annhilate McCain is to see who McCain picks as his VP. If it is a Southerner, that probably means Obama is doing really well there and McCain needs to shore up some votes. New poll out in Georgia, 44%-43% in McCain’s favor, Obama is working to register 500,000 new black voters in Georgia and certainly has similar campaigns in Mississippi, North Carolina, Virginia, and he’s already registered another 70,000 blacks in Louisiana.
Quick-witted responses like that are why your ordinary Minnesotan likes T-Paw. He isn’t afraid to poke fun at himself, and speaks in language you’d hear at a family gathering rather than a philosophy class.
Three Terms!
I thought it was funny. he is cool
