Pawlenty sets TIME blogger a-Twitter

Blogging the presidential campaign for TIME, founding (and now former) Wonkette editor Ana Marie Cox wound up in an airport waiting room beside Minnesota’s main McCain man, Gov. Tim Pawlenty, on Sunday. She jotted down her thoughts using Twitter, which lets users post text-based “updates” to the web.

Her take on T-Paw?

BuzzMachine’s Jeff Jarvis, who “heartily” recommends Cox’s tweets, says it’s “a medium made for her: the great ad lib, the beautiful bon mot, the sly snark.”

Some of Cox’s recent tweets:
