You didn't mention that Timmy was on C-span this morning on Washington Journal. He's a crafty one. Most of the calls were obviously planted, particularly the one from Minnesota, during which the caller went on and on and on lavishing praise on this empty suit. Timmy is like Ventura in one sense: he loves the national media, since he can fool them...they know little about him so fawn over him, they can't ask informed questions or follow-ups based on his actual policies and actions. It's easy! Pawlenty, a conciliator, a negotiator, a new face for the Republican party? He hasn't negotiated his entire term. He's a one-trick pony, a junior Grover Norquist or a junior Dick Cheney.

Further, I find it interesting that you did not know about his appearance on C-span today in able to publicize it. Did he not put it on his schedule? Maybe he didn't want Minnesotans to know about it, since it's a call-in program? Did he only let the people he wanted to know about it (his planted callers) know? I've heard him on call-in radio programs here and he gets lambasted. This man is crafty -- he'll do everything possible to attempt to create a national image that is not an accurate reflection of the extremist that he is.

It wasn't on his schedule and wasn't on C-Span's alert on Friday. I heard he was on. I'll look for the weblink.
