Pawlenty calls Wisconsin Democrats ‘ninnies’
Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 9:33 am
Tim Pawlenty slammed Wisconsin Democrats on Wednesday for leaving the state to prevent the passage of a bill that would curtail collective bargaining rights for the state’s public employees. Pawlenty called them “ninnies” who “skedaddled,” and he said the controversy is not “Fantasy Island” but “Alice in Wonderland.”
Pawlenty made the statements to Fox News’ Neil Cavuto Wednesday afternoon.
“The notion that they’re doing their job…. by not doing their job. It’s preposterous. It’s Alice in Wonderland. It’s through the looking glass. It makes no sense, at all,” he said. “And when you raise your right hand, and you look the people of Wisconsin and the country in the eye and say that you’re going to uphold the constitution and uphold your duties, and then the first time you have something that isn’t going to go your way, you skedaddle like a little ninny out of the state, it is a dereliction of duty, and they should be removed from office.”
He added, “This is not Fantasy Island, Neil.”
Here’s video of Pawlenty’s remarks:

According to his comments, Pawlenty must be the ultimate “ninny” for avoiding his own state for the last half of his gubernatorial term to raise money for his PAC.
As always, TPAW shows his hypocrisy and (lack of) maturity.

It’s like how do you not read this article and think what a piece of poop Pawlenty has turned into. Does he actually think people like him now that he is sells himself out, panders for votes and just plain looks foolish…The word that comes to mind is pathetic, almost as pathetic as fat head idiot Dennis.

Mr. Pawlenty, if you want any further career in politics, best to stop backing the fascist corporate criminal who is posing as governor of Wisconsin.

If being a ninny means standing up for jobs and the workers of the world then I AM A NINNY!!!!! These Tea Bags were elected on the premise of creating jobs and improving the economy but all they have done is threaten to lay off thousands of employees!! How any American can defend these seditious, lying, thugs is beyond me. I have never seen more un-American attitudes than what I have seen from the Tea party.
Please, any one, tell me one thing that the Tea party has done that has directly led to a balanced budget and more jobs.

Come on people. Walker is just doing what’s right. The Governor has a responsibility to lower Wisconsin wages, cripple the working people’s position against out of state corporations and undermine public education. It’s all spelled out in the Bible. Isn’t it?
And T-Paw is just expressing his faith. Our savior frequently called people ninnies and commies. It’s just His way of saying God loves you.
Praise Jebus, God hates working people, Amen.

And from earlier this week our ex-Gov. delivered this mind-shattering message proving he is the one to be dictating to all Democrats across the country:
“WASHINGTON – Hosting a gathering of young conservatives at a bar here this month, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty delivered a tart critique of the nation’s mounting debt. He called it a “pile of poo.”
OH MY GAWD! Tim used the “poo” word!
Without a doubt, anyone who can speak this boldly is truly the leader we are all looking for!
(Excuse me, but don’t most kids stop using “poo” at around age 9 or so?)

What T-Paw has shown to be an EXPERT in is the name-calling that is so prevelant amongst bullies.
The prank phone call that Gov. Walker took the other day revealed him to be the bully that he is. The Wisconsin Senate Democrats are smart to have walked out.
T-Paw is REGRETTING the fact that he did not run for a third term, for he would have done the same thing to Minnesota’s Public Employees. BULLY!!!

Spoken like the true Good Ol’ Plutocrat that he is.

Pawlenty knows it’s only acceptable to skedaddle like a little ninny out of the state when it’s not for the good of the people; only when it’s for personal benefit like fame and more money to be made – as when Sarah skedaddled.

Pawlenty: “the first time you have something that isn’t going to go your way, you skedaddle like a little ninny out of the state”
We begin to get a picture of the kind of abusive childhood Tim Pawlenty had and how he has never dealt with it in any adult way. Another abused kid becomes an abuser.

“ninnies”??? When it is time for the adult conversation, Pawlenty gets seated at the kids’ table, where he belongs.
The Wisconsin Democrats are doing their job, protecting their constituents. With the revelations of the prank call and the farce of a vote in the Assembly, the hand of the tyrant has finally been revealed. They are making a mockery of parliamentary procedure and Republican form of government (not to be confused with a certain political party of the same name).
And while we are at it, let’s not forget how the republicans plan to literally sell out Wisconsin in no-bid contracts selling public property.
16.896 Sale or contractual operation of state−owned heating, cooling, and power plants. (1) Notwithstanding ss. 13.48 (14) (am) and 16.705 (1), the department may sell any state−owned heating, cooling, and power plant or may contract with a private entity for the operation of any such plant, with or without solicitation of bids, for any amount that the department determines to be in the best interest of the state. Notwithstanding ss. 196.49 and 196.80, no approval or certification of the public service commission is necessary for a public utility to purchase, or contract for the operation of, such a plant, and any such purchase is considered to be in the public interest and to comply with the criteria for certification of a project under s. 196.49 (3) (b).

Wisconsin is in deep, deep trouble.

The real ninnies lied to the Democrats in the assembly in order to vote without them.
A week later they waited until many Democrates were taking a break from debate and quickly called a vote. We won’t forget your support for the ninnies, Tim.
Timmy’s ninnies would make a great Democratic ad.
