Pawlenty to survey drought impact

The governor will tour a farm in the Little Falls area on Tuesday with the state ag commissioner and and official from the USDA. No word yet exactly what Gov. Pawlenty will do about the drought.

I'm sure the DFL will hold a press conference and blame the Governor for the lack of rain.

Flashback: Remember Hatch blaming the Governor for the snowstorm a couple years back?

Maybe. I ran across this quote this morning that all politicians should keep in mind.

“Any party which takes credit for the rain must not be surprised if its opponents blame it for the drought.” -- Dwight Morrow
