Reason #2,454 It’s A Good Thing Pawlenty’s Running For President And I’m Not

Posted on May 31, 2011 by Mitch Berg

From ABC News This Week with Christiana Amanpour’s interview with Tim Pawlenty:

PAWLENTY: Any doofus can go to Washington DC and maintain the status quo or incrementally change things, for the country the hour is late.”

AMANPOUR: “Define doofus?”

And, with Goddess as my witness, I would not have been able to resist that high, hanging curveball.

I would have smirked. Thought about it. Thought about it some more (picturing in my head what Troy says). Bit my lip. Then gave her a serious response.

Actually she maybe really wanted to say…..”So by Doofus, are you talking about African-Americans?”

Pawlenty: “I’m sorry. If doufus confuses you, how about douchebag?”

Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to resist either.

In all seriousness what was his response? Man talk about throwing up a curve even Mauer could hit with his bilateral leg weakness.
