Tim Pawlenty took a few jabs at his fellow GOP presidential candidates yesterday, saying that Iowa voters should examine the field’s accomplishments, not just their rhetoric, using his shift as Minnesota governor as a prime example of action speaking louder than words. “Candidates are going to come through Iowa and they are going to say many of the same things,” he said, speaking at a fundraiser for the Story County GOP at Hickory’s Hall restaurant.—-
“So the interesting question I think for you, the Iowa Republicans and conservatives, is not are the candidates saying many or all of the same things. I think the question for you is have they actually done it.” he said. “Is this a person who has the leadership and experience of being a CEO of a large public enterprise in a tough environment in a difficult circumstance, and not only given speeches and offering failed amendments, but have they led it to conclusions that get results?”
I don’t have any idea who or what the fuck he is talking about.
“When we elect somebody president who’s a former community organizer, who was in the Senate just long enough to have a cup of coffee and never ran anything, never did anything and we put him in the Oval Office and wonder why it’s not working — it’s not working because he duped the country into thinking he’s a reasonable candidate,” Pawlenty said.
I think he’s talking about the president here.
“Turns out he’s a dangerous liberal who has no real experience running anything. No mystery why it isn’t working, he doesn’t have a clue.”
Yep, “dangerous Liberal.”
After the hour-long speech Pawlenty shared with reporters his love for Lady Gaga, noting “Born This Way” as one of his favorites.
A Skyline Chili in Clearwater, Fla., has a simple hand-written note on the door that reads “Pinellas County jurors NOT welcome!!!”
“I put that sign on there to voice my opinion. They may come in here, but I might not know who they are,” said John McClure, the restaurant owner. Customers on their lunch break shared their thoughts on the verdict. Harold Isaac said he very much liked the sign. “The sign says the jury’s not welcome, that’s perfectly OK with me,” said Isaac. Rick Justice thinks the jurors are being unfairly targeted. “I mean they’re given a hard task. They’re there to weigh the evidence of what they can and cannot hear. They do the best job that they can; they’re people too,” said Justice.
Steston Law Professor Charles Rose says, “The moment justice becomes more involved with the story ending the way the audience wants it to end, that’s the moment where we don’t have any justice anymore,” said Rose. When you deprive someone of a three-way and four conies with everything, you’re kicking justice in the dick.
Rupert Murdoch yesterday promised full cooperation to resolve a scandal shaking his media empire to its brittle core after Prime Minister David Cameron promised an inquiry into what he called a “disgusting” phone hacking by a newspaper.
Parliament has made allegations that News of the World eavesdropped on voicemail for victims of notorious crimes including child murders and suicide bombings. “Recent allegations of phone hacking and making payments to police with respect to the News of the World are deplorable and unacceptable.
“I have made clear that our company must fully and proactively cooperate with the police in all investigations and that is exactly what News International has been doing and will continue to do under (chief executive of News Internation) Rebekah Brooks’ leadership.”
Jamie Foxx has been confirmed to play the lead in Quentin Tarantino’s latest project, Django Unchained, the story of a slave who goes apeshit. “If you’re a fan of Inglourious Basterds, I mean, you know … it’s just amazing. It should be amazing,” said Foxx.
