MUST See: Pawlenty action movie ripoff video

[mascarax]

This is hilarious.
And there's a comparison to the movie trailer for "Armegeddon"! Very nice touch from our friends at TPM.

Seriously...you all will love this!

I quote TPM:
"Just watch it, with its use of various American imagery -- including pioneers, Martin Luther King, soldiers returning from war, Olympic athlete Cassius Clay (later to convert to Islam and rename himself Muhammad Ali), astronauts, George Washington on horseback, etc, with Pawlenty's voiceover."

1. I wonder if the Teapartiers he is trying to romance...

will realize that he is ripping off JFK. Not only from the very specific moon shot reference, but essentially his whole video clip being a take on Kennedy's "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..." line.

But seriously, when I first started watching it, I thought it was a clip from SNL or something. What a joke Timmy the Tool is.

2. Ooooh, Timmy looks like an action hero!

I thought his super power was invisibility.

Turns out, it was just an empty suit.
