Pawlenty’s punchline turns his sex-life into a joke

Gov. Tim Pawlenty and his wife, Mary, were being interviewed by WCCO Radio’s Mike Max during Saturday’s fishing opener when Pawlenty turned bawdy and dropped a joke about his sex life.

“I have a wife who genuinely loves to fish. I mean, she will take the lead and ask me to go out fishing, and joyfully comes here. She loves football, she’ll go to hockey games, and I jokingly say, ‘Now, if I could only get her to have sex with me I’d really have it made.””

Mary Pawlenty can be heard apologizing over Max’s boisterous laughter while the governor ensures that “it’s a joke.”
