The Wages of Rages
By GAIL COLLINS
NYT
Today, our topic is: strange stories about Republican presidential hopefuls. Would you rather start with the one about Mitt Romney and the rapper, or Tim Pawlenty?
O.K., if you really insist, Tim Pawlenty. Hehehe.
Pawlenty, the governor of Minnesota, appeared before the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington this week. The all-important question was whether he would be angry enough to win the hearts of the Tea Party-types.
He doesn’t seem naturally irate. People call him T-Paw, which sounds like a character in a children’s cartoon — maybe a lovable saber-toothed tiger with big feet. Or a pre-Little League game in which children who can’t hit anything with a bat are allowed to just thwack at the ball with their fists.
