Timmy loves Rachel?

[question everything]

I happened to read this strib's C.J. column. Most of the time I have no idea who the people she dishes on are.

And found this gem:

Ringless in Minneapolis

Where was Gov. Tim Pawlenty's wedding band? Why does the guv seem to love going on MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show"?

The preceding questions are totally unrelated, but the governor's office has declined to supply insight.

Pawlenty was observed wedding ringless last Wednesday during an appearance regarding a DOT matter.

Was it at the jeweler's being cleaned? Lost? Forgotten? I'll never know because the gubernatorial mouthpiece, Brian McClung, never got back to me. Of course, a smart person would have called Maddow and asked her to ask the governor where his wedding band was the other day. She gets responses from him.

1. I doubt seriously that there's anything between them

Isn't Rachel Maddow a lesbian?

[question everything]

3. Yes, she is. But, apparently, he likes to talk to her

and she, apparently, gets him to talk..

4. NO. He uses her to promote an untrue image of his self and his run for President.

She thinks it is good for her show image but I think it makes her look uninformed and superficial.

6. He should give it up.

He seems to be doing the tack-right-to-win-the-primary thing, but that won't work. He's too close to human for the Republicans to nominate him.

7. He's a snake in human skin.

8. He's even looked snakey in recent appearances.

12. I am waiting for him to stretch his neck and his eyes start to glow red and a big

red "forked tongue" to come whipping out of his mouth soon.

2. He should have checked after shaking hands with this guy...

[burning rain]

5. The last couple times I saw him on Rachel's show.....

he seemed less friendly, not so much at ease, and more combative.

Seems like silly stuff to me.

[glinda]

9. Yes. He seems "snarky".

[dflprincess]

10. Seemed?

I don't think I've ever seen him when he wasn't snarky.

11. Touche'

13. Agreed ... smug, self-important and snarky, that's our Governor.
