Tim Pawlenty creates ad to announce his candidacy. Next he will try to create a pill that makes people give a shit.

Okay here is the first problem I see.  In the ad Pawlenty is a black and white character telling us that he can offer solutions to problems in a Technicolor world.  I don't buy it.

After all the way he is filmed makes it look like he is in a bad horror film, and that HE is one of the undead.  Somehow I do not think that one of the most boring politicians in recent memory should try to appear any LESS animated.

The second problem is that Pawlenty claims that he is going to "just tell you the truth."  Now perhaps Pawlenty has not been getting the memos, or has not had his television tuned to Fox News for he last four years, but "truth" is NOT one of the platforms in the Republican party. Lies, deceptions, and misinformation, are the tools of the trade for the GOP, and if Pawlenty is going to have ANY hope of getting this nomination he better learn to lie his ass off! (All he has to do is watch one Sarah Palin interview. The woman was born to lie!)

The third problem is that he brings up the fact his mother died when he was a teenager.  That is a blatant rip off of Obamas' life story.  Pawlenty cannot just up and hijack the "my mother died," and that made me a more compassionate leader back story from our President.  Obama OWNS that!

Now if Pawlenty wants to to have a similar story to make himself seem more human and accessible, perhaps he could talk about a dog that was run over, or goldfish that was eaten by a cat, or maybe he could just push one of his elderly aunts down a flight of stairs and have something fresh to use for that sympathy vote.

You know it does not make any difference, Pawlenty's chances of getting his party's nomination are about the same as John McCain finally apologizing to the country for the dangerous creature he unleashed in 2008, in his desperate attempt to win the presidency.
