BREAKING: Pawlenty to govern Minnesota from RV

Breaking news below. Can't say I didn't see this coming.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Tired of having to occasionally return to St. Paul to govern, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty today announced a solution. Pawlenty's new "mobile office," a Gulf Stream Cavalier RV, will allow him to spend more time in what he called "imporant places" such as Iowa, Ohio, and Florida.

The mobile office will be equipped with all the essentials for continuing his work on behalf of Minnesotans: a desk, a veto pen, and a half dozen press secretaries.

Pawlenty has been campaigning for Vice President for the past six years, and he has also been Governor of Minnesota during that same period. In the last crucial weeks of campaigning for Vice President, Pawlenty said, "I simply need to prioritize and focus on what's important." He still hopes to be able to shore up his conservative credentials a bit further by identifying several essential services that can be cut from the Minnesota budget in between policy speeches and photo-ops.

Pawlenty will be spending the next several weeks as he has spent the last two months: working full-time as a surrogate for John McCain. He is expected to visit Illinois, Arizona, and several other states during the coming weeks. He is not expected to make an appearance in Minnesota, as his staff is concerned that poor road conditions may damage the mobile office.
