Pawlenty is a very mean spirited guy. The current problems of the automakers are not happening in an economic vacuum. Yes they are victims of their own past mistakes, which they have been working to correct for quite some time. They are also victims, as are all of us, of the current severe downturn in the econmomy caused by free market deregulation which unleashed a massive shift of wealth to a few private individuals and a massive shift of debt to the public. All auto makers, foreign and domestic, have been affected and we have not yet seen the worst of it. Pawlenty has been and continues to be a stubborn supporter of the ideology that brought us to the brink of disaster. Yes he will chow down at the buffet while he continues to elbow away the neediest. Let them eat tax cuts while he feasts on their Grandchildren's dinner. Granholm demonstrated the wisdom of leadership born of a real understanding of the needs of her constituents. Pawlenty demonstrated the arrogance of personal ambition and power born of a real ignorance of the dwindling appeal of the debunked ideology that he continues to embrace. Pawlenty will not have much of a future in state or national politics because if he was capable of change he would have shown that by now.

Pawlenty will not have much of a future in state or national politics because if he was capable of change he would have shown that by now.

Listen to 'Paw-Man', the meandering buffoon at the "meandering buffet", who says while looking down his nose, "The answer lies in the marketplace"... when the markets have foreclosed? While soup lines score on Main Street and the unemployed dismay, Paw-Man will pass out wine and cheese to his friends along the way. Stimulus doesn’t stimulate our “unfortuate” Gov?

Listen to ‘Paw-Man’, the meandering buffoon
at the “meandering buffet”, who says while
looking down his nose,
“The answer lies in the marketplace”…
when the markets have foreclosed?

While soup lines score on Main Street
and the unemployed dismay,
Paw-Man will pass out
wine and cheese
to his friends along the way.

I mentioned the phrase Minnesotans use to describe him is "my way or the highway", and I reminded them he was the first governor to shut down his state's government, and that was without the current emergency, all because he can't compromise with Democrats.
