(former MN Guv) Pawlenty tries the Brawny Guy look


"The cover portrait on former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty's new book is intended to convey his presidential timber. It certainly succeeds when it comes to 'timber'.

In reality, he's a scrawny guy. He looks ridiculous with his chest puffed out. Maybe his next image upgrade will involve buying a ranch in Crawford.
