Ouch. Harsh truth.

GQ gives the honor of Least Influential Person Alive to former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R).

"Every election season produces a number of hilariously pointless candidates who have no chance of winning. Some of them have value as novelty items. Look! It's Alan Keyes, the token black Republican! And over there! It's David Duke! He's a racist! These are the fun, fringy candidates. The Sharpton Sector, if you will. Then there are folks like Pawlenty, who fail to register even as novelties. T-Paw (as he calls himself) spent much of 2011 as a six-foot-tall paperweight, an aggressively forgettable fellow perfectly suited to the role of debate filler. The $1 million he spent to lose the Iowa straw poll might as well have been burned in front of a group of orphans."

1. Lawrence O'D was BRUTAL to Pawlenty last night!

"You're doing an excellent of job for auditioning for the VP slot".

I hope somebody posted about it last night and it was fresher in their mind all the barbs he shot at TP. It's worth checking out on MSNBC's site - Lawrence just shredded him!
