Pawlenty tweets about Obama's "pub crawl". Forgets about his campaign manager's drunken driving
Edited on Thu May-26-11 05:33 PM by RandySF
Snap, from Tim Pawlenty’s Twitter account:

@BarackObama sorry to interrupt the European pub crawl, but what was your Medicare plan?

Is visiting European capitals and the G-8 summit really fairly characterized as a “pub crawl”? Eh, maybe not. But the visual of Obama drinking Guinness in the bar got plenty of play, and it fits the GOP theme that Obama is often doing the candidate side work -

This is the first sign of the Trump pugnaciousness rubbing off on other candidates.

Did the former governor forget about his campaign manager's own indulgences?:


A video was released of Tim Pawlenty campaign manager Nick Ayers being pulled over and arrested for DWI in 2006.

Ayers' first words to the police officer are: "We're with Governor Perdue's campaign headquarters."

That didn't impress the trooper. Ayers is given a field sobriety test, refuses to take a breath test and was then arrested and put in handcuffs.

4. does anyone believe Pawlenty himself never went on a pub crawl?
I mean one where you hit 8-12 bars and get stinking drunk, not have one beer in Ireland as a political gesture.
