T-Paw hearts Gaga

GOP candidate Tim Pawlenty loves Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith… this is not surprising.  But when the former Minnesota governor turns the tables on his interviewers, the ladies of the D.C.-based pop culture blog Glittarazzi, by asking them to name their favorite Lady Gaga song… well, now I’m surprised—for a minute any way.  Once I recover from the original shock, reality sets in.

Is this Pawlenty’s best effort at becoming relevant?  It kind of seems like someone on his staff thought they could make the incredibly dull Republican seem “edgy,” by going against the stereotype and having him divulge his secret love for the bisexual, outspokenly-liberal pop star.

Oh, T-Paw, try harder.  Or better yet, don’t try, just stay boring, it’s much less awkward that way.
