I wrote a few lines the other day about the various pieces of evidence that Tim Pawlenty is burnishing his national image -- basically indications that he really is thinking of something Washington-like in his future.
The latest: upon his return from Iraq, both of MPR's "bookend" shows -- Morning Edition and All Things Considered -- tried to get the governor for an interview about his trip. According to ATC producer Jayne Solinger, they were both told the governor would be "unavailable."
She was surprised to see the national lineup tonight for All Things Considered from National Public Radio and who is on coast-to-coast? Yep, our man Pawlenty.
The subject was immigration reform.
Be sure to listen for the obligatory Washingtonian "Minnesota as cute" treatment from the inner-Beltway crowd.
Once you've seen the bright lights...
