Tim Pawlenty Shaves Off Every Hair On His Body In Really Weird Campaign Gaffe
Edited on Fri Jun-24-11 11:10 PM by Devil_Fish
DES MOINES, IA—In what political insiders are calling one of the weirdest campaign gaffes in history, Republican presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty shaved every single hair off his body this weekend while campaigning in Iowa.


(SNIP)

Public reaction to Pawlenty's slip-up has thus far been overwhelmingly negative. A Rasmussen poll conducted Sunday found that 89 percent of Americans wanted to know why Tim Pawlenty had shaved the hair off every part of his body, one-third of likely voters had no idea why a person would do that, and 9 in 10 citizens said they had absolutely no interest in seeing a man with no body hair in the White House.

In addition, countless citizens have argued that Pawlenty's shaved body has distracted the nation from discussing the real issues facing Americans.

"When I saw Mr. Pawlenty last week, I think he talked for a long time about family values and maybe balancing the budget, but all I could focus on was how freaky and kind of gross he looked," said 44-year-old Kevin Rios, who attended Friday's town-hall-style meeting with Pawlenty in Denison, IA. "Have you ever been stared at by a guy with no eyelashes? It's the creepiest thing."

7. Poll results not credible.
Now, if a majority of Americans had reportedly said "who?" that would have sounded more realistic.

8. He Also Wants to be known as "Lex Luthor"
Sounds like T-Paw saw the finale of "Smallville", where Lex Luthor got elected President. He figures that the only way to win is to become Lex Luthor. :D
