Political Humor Alert

Former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty speaking at the Winter Gridiron Dinner about losing in the Iowa straw poll to GOP presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann:
It bothers me a little to be beaten by Sarah Palin's stunt double.
Pawlenty managed to kid himself and both women in one sentence, not bad. If he'd been this funny in July he might still be in the running; timing is everything.

My source for this quip is a column by Kerry Picket in The Washington Times, quoting a Karen Tumulty (Washington Post) tweet.
