Stephen Colbert: Pawlenty Endorsing Romney Is Like ‘Miracle Whip Endorsing Mayonnaise’

Stephen Colbert had some fun at Tim Pawlenty‘s expense on Monday’s Colbert Report, calling the Minnesota Governor’s endorsement of Mitt Romney “like Miracle Whip endorsing Mayonnaise.”

Colbert noted that T-Paw’s big announcement included the news that he would also become a national co-chairman for the Romney campaign, to which Colbert cheekily snarked, “I hope he doesn’t have to give up his other job as assistant manager of the Route 23 Kinkos.”

Besides the jabs at Pawlenty’s white-breaded persona, Colbert joked that the pair had become “so close”, Romney was bringing Pawlenty to the CNN Tea Party debate as his “plus one”.

“Plus one, also the number of votes he brought to the Romney campaign,” Colbert teased.
