Pawlenty meets giant Filet-O-Fish

Gov. Pawlenty may or may not have been telling "fish tales" during this afternoon's speech in White Bear Lake but he did get to meet a supersized fish before the event.

I thought long and hard about what to name this entry and could only come up with that McDonald's ad.

Do you remember how Fredo in The Godfather II said reciting the Hail Mary helped him catch fish? Perhaps the governor should hum "Give me back that filet-o-fish" at the opener.

Question of the Day: Where does one buy/rent a fish costume?

Thanks to Fox 9's Jeff Goldberg and Doug Solomon for the video.

Thanks, Tom. I had just forgotten that earworm of a song.
