Cue the videotape

Republican John McCain's campaign praised Gov. Pawlenty's performance on Fox and Friends this morning. For the record, they have praised past Pawlenty performances (alliteration alert!) contrary to what other news outlets are reporting (see June 24th release on offshore drilling).

Anyhoo, McCain's campaign directed reporters to this video clip of Pawlenty talking about McCain's stance on the skirmish in Georgia.

I searched around for the full interview on Fox's website but couldn't find it (Pawlenty's folks don't give reporters a heads up when he's going to be on). Scheck shrugs shoulders (alliteration alert #2) and goes about his job. That is until Talking Points Memo posted this Pawlenty clip from the same interview.

So here's the question: How did Pawlenty perform in this interview? It's hard to judge when you haven't seen the whole video.
