Doing the Job

It's fun to watch the Republican Party of 'No' transform itself into the Tea Party of 'LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!':

After [Gov. Tim Pawlenty] declined to send Washington a letter with several state agencies' recommendations for a key piece of the reform package, the medical groups got hold of a copy and sent it themselves.

The letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services contained comments and recommendations on health insurance exchanges, where people could shop for policies, in response to a request sent to all states.

But the letter from Minnesota, dated Oct. 4, the deadline for comments, didn't go out because Pawlenty didn't like it.

That's okay, Tim, I'm sure the good people of Minnesota will re-elect you even if you don't do your job.  They've elected Michele Bachmann at least twice.
