Gov. Tim Pawlenty addressed a Republican National Committee meeting in San Diego Thursday afternoon, which featured some of the less successful opening jokes of recent vintage. Rib-tickler number one:

President Obama is making great progress on climate change. He’s turning the political climate of our country back towards Republicans!

Number two:

In the eyes of many, President Obama is cool, cool, cool. But Americans are beginning to realize he is wrong, wrong, wrong.

“How many Republicans does it take to run up a multi-trillion dollar war budget?”
One. (Rimshot.)

“How many Republicans does it take to balance a state budget?”
Ask T-Paw. (Rimshot.)

“How many Republicans does it take to let a bridge fall?”
Two. (Rimshot.)

T-paw is an unfunny prick.

Maybe he wasn’t funny in that speech, but he has made me chuckle a time or two. He’s no Franken, or Klobuchar, but he is a decent speaker, an effective communicator, and frankly one of the GOP’s better politicians. I expect him to grow on non-Minnesota Republicans and therefore Democrats should take him seriously. Yes, I’m fully aware of how he has screwed over the state’s most vulnerable people, and how he won by narrow pluralities when the IP grabbed a bunch of DFl-leaners. Nonetheless, he’s about the only Republican of national stature who doesn’t tempt me to smugly smile at the Republicans considering such weak candidates.

T-Paw is the single reason that so many of us will soon be without health care, without homes, and without food.

I demand a reinstatement of all programs, and budget growth to meet projected needs and inflation.
