Romney co-chair, Tim Pawlenty, abandons campaign

Timmy Pawlenty’s saying buh-bye to Team Willard and instead will head a group that lobbies against the Dodd-Frank Wall St. reforms, because all that Romney stuff apparently became too much for him. Or maybe too boring. Or too depressing. Or too embarrassing.

Think Progress:

Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty announced Thursday morning that he would step down as co-chair of Mitt Romney’s campaign to become the head of the Financial Services Roundtable, a trade organization that represents the 100 largest financial services companies in the country.

Oh, and if you follow the link to TP, you can also read about what a hypocrite Pawlenty is. Surprising? Hardly. Just noteworthy.

    The Job:  Sucking up to rich guys 
    The Candidate:  Tim Pawlenty,  sycophant and toady extraordinaire ( and unlike Romney, it ain’t bronzer that makes his nose brown…)

    If only he had chosen to go to “money-grubbing sleazebag nirvana”  BEFORE becoming Minnesota’s governor.

    I think Tim Pawlenty got spooked when Romney started constructing Guard Towers and Barb-wire fences around the compound ;D

    Yeah, right, this guy is getting out while the getting is good.  If he does his next job like he did this one he should be one of those “unemployed worthless bums”  he claimed to know alot about, real soon.
