The Perfect VP for Romney: Tim Pawlenty, Friendly Creationist Loon

Mon, Jul 16, 2012 at 6:21:18 pm
In a way, Tim Pawlenty is the perfect running mate for Mitt Romney; he's a fundamentalist Christian, a creationist, and a climate change denier, but he somehow manages to project a bland non-threatening persona.
