And now, Timmy the Tool's latest appointment to the MN Supreme Court:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Some asshat who's only had a MN law license for a few months and who used to clerk for Clarence Thomas, whom he called his "mentor in the law." :puke:

I'm so glad I don't practice law any more....

1. And, according to a post Mark Dayton put out on Facebook,

also serves on a Federalist Society committee.

Just Timmy sacrificing Minnesota to his own ambition again.

5. All the Repub appointees are Federalist Society.

2. TIny Tim's revenge

"Top democrats call their appointments Pawlenty's payback"


The only thing big about him seems to be his ego. In every other way, Pawlenty acts of vengeance demonstrate a character that is both small and petty, remarkably small and petty.

6. TP is a very hostile, angry person. There is no doubt about it.

[trotsky]

7. "small and petty"

Yep, that's Timmy the Tool. Spoiled little brat who just can't STAND it when he doesn't get everything he wants. His smackdown by the court was a beautiful thing to see, he was so freaking pouty! It will be a true joy to see him thumped in the Repuke primaries.

8. I think he's gotten worse since McCain snubbed him for VP

I'm sure everytime he sees Palin on TV it just adds to his resentment - especially after he was pretty much ignored at the Palin/Bachmann Fest in Minneapolis last month. I keep hoping he'll get caught having a real "Lonseome Rhodes" (Andy Griffith's character or Glen Beck -either one will do) kind of breakdown.

10. I was just thinking the same thing.

He was *so* close! He'd been living in McCain's pants for a couple of years, probably thought the VP thing was his for sure -- and considering McCain's age and health, he probably fantasized about stepping right into the Oval Office within a few years. And it was all taken away from him by one of the dumbest people ever to run for public office in this country. I bet it just fries his ass every time he sees her.

So what does he do? He tries to out-Palin Palin. He clamps his lips onto the ass of every right-wing lunatic and supports every fringe teabagger idea, figuring that the Palin contingent will pick him next time, and that he'll ride right up to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue wearing his flag jockstrap and three-cornered hat with dangling tea bags.

:puke:

12. You just put an image into my brain that I may never lose

I'll probably wake up screaming in the middle of the night, every night, for the next several years as the image of Timmy in his "flag jockstrap and three-cornered hat with dangling tea bags" haunts me.

:rofl:

[Bosso 63]

14. Schadenfreude

It's my understanding that Timmy was completely blindsided by McCain's pick of Palin. They had banners printed and prepared statements all ready to go.

I will admit that I can be small and petty at times. because I would have loved to see the look on his face when McCain introduced Sarah to the world.

3. The new Chief (Gildea)

was a dissenter in the SC's decision on overturning the Tool's unallotments.

[CatholicEdHead]

4. Probably hoping that Emmer would have the same option next year

As the GOP naturally assumes they will win the governorship again this fall.

[dpbrown]

9. This is really an insult to the law like, well, like Clarence "Uncle" Thomas's appointment was

These people have no respect for the law. It's all about stacking the deck for the rich.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I used to think the Critical Legal Studies people were full of hooey.

Not any more.

[dpbrown]

13. It's so transparent. 0% experience. 100% agenda

That alone should qualify them to be canned.
