DOA? Tim Pawlenty’s Hometown Newspaper Puts Campaign Announcement On The Obit Page

Timing, as they say, is everything. And if you make a big announcement that you’re running for president–and you hope to make the front page of your hometown paper–perhaps make your announcement, as City Pages points out, on any day other than that following a natural disaster. “Any other day, it would have made the front page. But that’s what he gets for making his big publicity push the day after a deadly tornado rips through his home state.”

With tornado coverage taking up the front of the paper, TPaw’s big announcement landed in the somewhat less desirable–but certainly more amusing–section of the paper: the obits:

Tim Pawlenty’s presidential campaign is Dead On Arrival, according to his hometown newspaper.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press hilariously ran the announcement of T-Paw’s presidential campaign on the Obituary page this morning.

Yes Cletus, it’s hilarious. A bunch of Democrats run a small town newspaper, and decided to piss away any idea of them being unbiased by trashing someone they disagree with, while claiming to be impartial.

What a hoot.

When did St. Paul become a small town? When did the Pioneer Express become illegitimate? Know much? Not!

You’re correct. Your comment does not relate to the newspaper article or the Mediaite comment.

St. Paul is the bitch of Minneapolis, which is a “small market”.

If they had put a story about Obama there the liberals would be screaming “racist hate crime”.

Barack can no longer be defended by anyone. We are all Velma Hart and we are “exhausted” with defending him and his policies that aren’t working. There is no need to debate this point as everyone knows this to be self evident.
