34. Yeah, right "TEEE-PAWWWW" (sorry, THAT won't make you seem more hip, dude),

we can already see how you staff up, and who you hire, and who THEY hire.

8. I'm just glad Timmeh Pee isn't in MN anymore.

I'm sorry that he's infecting the rest of the states and Canada.

What with him and Michelle Bachmann, it's like Minnesota has become the hillbilly haven of the north - with all due apologies to hillbillies, banjo players, and brewers of fine shine everywhere.

"His arm was in my back door, trying to get in and I screamed and went upstairs to my parents room and I continued screaming," said Chloe Steward. “He shoved his arm in here and kept touching the wall, looking for something. I don’t know what he was looking for."

Dad grabbed his gun from a safe and went downstairs.

“The guy was still trying to come in when my husband had a gun on him. My husband must have realized that something is not right – he’s drunk of something,” said Stacey Steward, Chloe’s mother.

The guy trying to break in was Benjamin Foster, an employee of Tim Pawlenty's campaign.

The Steward family said Foster was drunk and was trying to get home to a friend's house in Johnston. They said he vomited in their backyard and scared their daughter.

[orion007]

45. LOL...........He wants to especially apologize to the people he "disturbed"

Disturbed is when you're awakened by someone's loud music or their dog barking,this guy freaking traumatized that poor young girl and put the family through a nightmare.
