Gov. Tim Pawlenty Makes a Big Statement with Budget Vetoes

Most notably, "Hey, I'm a huge dick", and "I'm a petty, childish, vindictive, rat-faced jerk-off." Oh, and "smarmy". Don't forget "smarmy".

Yup, less than two months after the Minnesota Legislature hit Gov. Tim Pawlenty with an override of his gas tax veto, the second-term Republican slashed the 2008 Bonding Bill with 52 line-item vetoes - including money for a much-needed light rail public transport system - while continuing his pathetic, pandering and transparent "fiscal conservative", "no new taxes" jig for the VP nod in John McCain's campaign.

Because, as we all know, not raising taxes is a sure-fire way to keep money in the "workin' man's" pocket, right Tim? Errr...oops.

And coincidentally enough, Mr. P made sure to pass most of the measures from suburban and rural areas, effectively squashing any hopes of getting enough support for another override to get light rail back on the bond for the Twin Cities.

For this (and for many past actions), Timmy has been nominated for the DOF "Crotch -punch of the Day". Any reader who supplies tangible proof that he/she delivered a punch to the gov's crotchal area by 11:59pm (CST) today will receive ALL of the DOF's Google AdSense revenue for the day, meaning a potential pay-out of TENS of cents for the winner. A double pay-out goes to out-of-state readers who accomplish this task.

Good luck. The DOF is counting on you.

My Dad knows Pawlenty- says he's a bigger douchebag than you'd think.

This surprised me, because he is pretty transparently a fuck.

I think he would move himself into Colostomy bag status.

He even looks like an actual penis.

Ahh…vitriol, bile and unrepentant loathing. Politics is back. In the spirit of returning politics to the ethos of our founding fathers, I think you should challenge
T-Paw to a duel…pistols of course! Of course, the down side is, even if you shoot him first, the State troopers will drop you in the milliseconds afterwards.

Oh well.

I am concerned. Despite the semi-coherance of your rant, do you really think you're helping the cause of light-rail by touting on a website named "Diary of Fools"?

While The Angry Jew is always willing to lend a hand, or fist as the case may be, I am not going to be able to get there in time to claim the reward as American is canceling all of it's flight to inspect the wire bundles on planes that were supposed to be inspected months ago. Ahh, the little ironies of life.
Keep up the Good Work my friend
