Pawlenty can’t live without his radio?

For the third straight day, Governor Pawlenty will be a guest radio host. On Monday and Tuesday, Pawlenty was the guest host on WCCO (which hosts his weekly radio show). On Wednesday, Pawlenty's schedule says he'll host KKMS "Live with Jeff and Lee" at 3 pm on 980 AM.

Pawlenty's recent radio exploits make me think of LL Cool J's hit song I can't live without my radio:

My radio, believe me, I like it loud

I'm the man with a box that can rock the crowd

Walkin' down the street, to the hardcore beat

While my JVC vibrates the concrete

I'm sorry if you can't understand

But I need a radio inside my hand

Don't mean to offend other citizens

But I kick my volume way past 10

My story is rough, my neighbourhood is tough

But I still sport gold, and I'm out to crush

My name is Cool J, I devastate the show

But I couldn't survive without my radio
