Pawlenty tees off on Tiger
Gov. Pawlenty gave a 25 minute speech to the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce today. It was mostly standard fare - cut government spending, no tax increases and improve the state's education system.
Pawlenty's only interesting comments were in the direction of the World's #1 golfer, Tiger Woods. Woods, who has engaged in some questionable transgressions, was the butt of several jokes.
First, Pawlenty was joking about all of the different cell phone plans available.
"There's the friends and no family plan for MN Chamber President David Olson. There's the 'No Roaming plan for Tiger Woods and there's the unlimited talking plan for Joe Biden."

Pawlenty later decried government spending saying "It's like Tiger Woods' wife, we should take a nine iron to the back windshield of big government spending and smash it out."
(Update: Anyone notice Pawlenty has adopted an unusual southern drawl over the past few months?)
