Wonkette
HA! What have we here, buried in this nothing news item about Tim Pawlenty going to headline the “Ronald Reagan Dinner,” the proceeds of which benefit Republicans In Iowa, or Republicans From Iowa, or Republicans Without Iowa, something like that. Ummm… voila: “In July, organizers of the event had said they had tried to line up former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 vice presidential nominee.” It is too bad that the Iowa Republicans were unable to convince, with money, their first choice of speaker and instead had to settle for someone who did not quit their governorship. Tim Pawlenty this is embarrassing! Do not do this! [Des Moines Register via Ben Smith]
Nobody puts TPaw in a corner.
But can Pawlenty bring teh sex-xay?
OMFG! They ate Reagan?!?! I knew they loved him but that is just sick.
TPaw has absolutely no reason to be looking like a smug cunt in that photo. He is soon to be unemployed, and will then spend millions of other people’s money, only to fail, in an attempt at finding another job.
I heard the food at the Ronald Reagan Dinner is similar to Chinese in that, an hour later, you forgot what you ate.
Now I know to who Sarah was winking.
TPAW, the Regent of GOPer Preznit Candidates.
A couple good things about this guy: he isn’t 100 years old and he doesn’t seem to be as stupid as Snowbilly (but really, who is?). That’s all I got…oh, yeah, Tim ‘Good ‘n Plenty’ 2012!
Maybe now Pawlenty will replace McCain as the standard Sunday GOP TV guest.
Sweet Baby Cheeses: They would dig his sorry carcass up & blow him if Nancy would let them.
WTF does he know about huntin n’ fishin?
The nickname Tpaw conjures horrifying images of a lonely pedophile with a Bob Dole arm stalking elementary school bus routes.
TPAW = number two. Yeah, that sounds about right.
“In July, organizers of the event had said they had tried to line up former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 vice presidential nominee.”
That can’t be right. Sarah’s MO is usually to accept the invitation and then, after her appearance is announced, to say she knows nothing about it. These Iowa Republicans are a buncha stinkin’ liars.
Texan Bulldoggette: Nah; for the past few months, in preparation for running for the Republican nom, Pawlenty’s taken a big turn towards the stupid (just like Romney last time). Not to mention his incompetency beforehand - just imagine traveling in the US under President Pawlenty, where you have to take a ferry over every river after all the nation’s bridges collapse.
Servo: To WHOM, dear.
Are they selling tickets to the T-Paw vs. Huckabee Smackdown? I’d pay to see those two go at it in the rasslin’ ring. The Alaskan Anger Bear could be the referee.
The Ronald Reagan Dinner is going to be in, uhhh, lessee, October, or was it November? They’re serving beef–or was it chicken? And the speaker is going to be that one governor, Tim or Sarah or something.
I request a Sarah-esque Blinging of Timbo — with handicapped babies hanging from his nipples — and wolves.
TPaw’s campaign slogan: “In a Party of retards, the merely dull and incompetent is King.”
Has TPAW moved to Iowa yet so he can campaign full time for the caucuses? That’s what President Dodd did.
freakishlystrong: Nice!
Tim Pawlenty: Always the bride’s maid, never the bride.
Vote for TPaw–He’s affable but douchey, he’s UnHuckabee!
Does this mean he’s a shoe-in as a sidekick on Sarah’s upcoming USO BJ tour?
freakishlystrong: While im not as familiar with homosexuality as I’d like to be, I believe this idiom also applies to having homosexual intercourse with a Chinese male.
Sarjo:
Thanks for the red ink, teach.
freakishlystrong: “And your vegetable?”
“He’ll have the same.”
hobospacejunkie: Smug cunt, or smug prick? Oh, wait - you mean he’s missing the male giblets? Gosh, what happened? Was it by choice? I’m so confused. But I’m used to it.
God, could that “Obama’s War” background be more annoying?
Pawlenty? Really? Iowa Republicans should be outraged. If they can’t have Palin, they should at least get Oily Taints. Or maybe John Ensign.
Milquetoast, and unamusing, TPaw lounged in a moderately lit corner of the room. I was sure that the drink in front of him was water at room tempertature. In my mind, I could hear him blandly declining the waitress’ offer of lemon. Thinking of this, I passed out from boredom and drowned in my bisque. The End.
taylormattd: It could be raining.
They turned from Alaska, “Land of the Bridge to Nowhere” to Minnesota, “Land of the Bridge to Catastrophe”. Both representing Republican fiscal policy — putting Republican cronies on the public teat, while starving the public infrastucture that taxpayers depend on.
Hey, Pawlenty! Since your wife prefers fishing to sex (according to you), try sticking your thang inside one of those plastic mailbox largemouth bass — that ought to get her attention.
taylormattd: It could have theme music. I’m thinking adding in, say, some Hank Williams Jr would have an effect roughly similar to Ipecac.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall at that dinner. Or in the chicken cacciatore.
taylormattd: Don’t make any more remarks about the advertising- it can get you banned- seriously.
It’s a pity that the Iowans didn’t cough up, because Sarah would have taken in-kind payment in pistachios (she gets a 5% cut of any sales through the end of the year).
…did not quit their governorship YET.
/fixed
Sarjo: sigh. AT whom. Really.
Snarkalicious: After I pulled my eyelashes out one by one.
So what’s up with the wall-to-wall OBAMA’S WAR advertising? I log onto my beloved Wonkette this morning and wham! Instant occupation.
Gopherit: as long as we’re being pedantic twats about it.
Barrett808: I wholly support any decision to declare war on stupidity in this country.
Makes sense, since TPaw is trying to set himself up as the safe choice nominee, the one who won’t take all the money and blow it on meth and designer fashions.
Sweet Baby Cheeses: Once they finish writing the Conservabible, they’ll probably rebrand all the communion wafers as the Body of Ron.
bitchincamaro: or in their Chardonnaaaaay…
Johnny Zhivago: I support any decision that gets Wonkette money.
Even if I think calling Afghanistan “Obama’s War” is offensively stupid.
Ouch. It’s like having a girl marry you only after she was completely sure that Gallagher wasn’t interested.
glamourdammerung: Yeah. Must be the last vestiges of the Bush appointees at PBS.
And where the hell is Newell? This is not fair to Juli, you lazy bastard. Write something!
Barrett808: Something has to tone down the upcoming story about Bristol’s babydaddy and his playgirl pictorial. Might as well be Obama’s war.
Hey, everybody! We’re about to see the also-ran Second Ex-Son-In-Law’s HOT CAWK!
I like Nevada Barr- but I really liked the FIT training guy.
taylormattd: Thanks to Wonkette, I bought me first AR15. Neilist will be proud.
El Pinche: It’s a recession. Who the fuck can afford assault rifles?
finallyhappy: taylormattd: The first rule of the Annoying Background Ad Club? You do not talk about Annoying Background Ads.
finallyhappy:
Anna Pigeon kicks ass.
Tpaw has 3 favorite comedians: Gallagher, Carrot Top & Leno. They each elicit a mild chuckle from Tpaw, so naturally he thinks they’re cutting edge.
glamourdammerung: Agreed!
Everyone knows that Obama’s real war will be fought on the moon.
finallyhappy: We should let the complainers complain. Banning is one of the most entertaining spectacles Wonkett has to offer.
Since when has Pawlently had two different colored eyes?! He looks like a sheep dog or Siberian husky, or something.
Oh, wait, the whole “TPAW” thing…now I get it!
hobospacejunkie: Right after grammar fights, of course.
I just figured that anything powerful enough to get past AdBlock Plus is worth paying attention to.
hobospacejunkie: user-of-owls: I hate grammar fights.
El Pinche:
My condolences.
user-of-owls: I apologize unreservedly for starting it, yesterday, with that stupid owl thing.
When do the blog wars start again?
2nd fiddle to Sarah…. Gawd! Does not bode well for TPaw, and yes; smug, PUBESCENT cunt.
Y’know, he should be grateful for any bookings at all, considering his last hit was that Human League-knockoff British rap song “Heart and Soul”. Has his voice deepened any since then?
SayItWithWookies: I think they were GOING to ask her, then they found out the thing about the monies. TPaw = FAIL.
Chain Tattoo: “The Alaskan Anger Bear could be the referee.”
You mean you aren’t going to demand that she put on a bikini and parade around the ring holding up a big sign? Even I’d go for that. I dig that fancy pageant walking.
