Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty Jokes His Wife Won't Have Sex With Him

Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is most likely in a lot of hot water today for a comment he made during a radio show. Pawlenty joked that he wished his wife's desire for him (in the carnal sense) was as intense as her love of fishing.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty spent the fishing opener with his wife, Mary Pawlenty, on Big Pelican Lake in Breezy Point, Minn.

If an aside uttered by Pawlenty on Mike Max's radio show on WCCO-AM is any indication, they may very well have spent their every waking moment fishing.

"I have a wife who genuinely loves to fish. I mean, she will take the lead and ask me to go out fishing, and joyfully comes here," the governor said before adding, "She loves football, she'll go to hockey games and, I jokingly say, 'Now, if I could only get her to have sex with me.'"

I’ve heard of Blue Dog Democrats, but never blue…oh well, never mind. Perhaps Mrs. Pawlenty is displeased with her husband’s assault on healthcare funding for Minnesota’s most vulnerable residents or with the hissy-fit he threw when his veto of a much needed transportation bill (roads and BRIDGES) was overridden with the help of six members of his own Party-who were promptly stripped of leadership positions and generally disowned by the state GOP. Or, it could be his penchant for pandering to the extremists of his party rather than governing responsibly (sound familiar?). At any rate, if the ambitious Mr. Pawlenty continues to develop his “foot in mouth” routine he will greatly improve his chances of pairing-up with a master of the discipline, Senator John McCain.

Rich.

He needs to discuss this serious situation with Jesse Ventura. There are alternatives you know.

Scum

[Moose49]

If he's going to say shit like this, please, please, please, John McCain, pick him as your running mate.

"The Hair! Don't touch the hair!!"

Maybe Spitzer and Pawlenty can get a quantity discount at Emporer's Club ... I don't know.... maybe a two for one? Or maybe 2 - 2 diamond girls instead of 1 - 4 diamond girl?

You must be a favorite - that line is from one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME! Madeline Khan was the best.........What knockers -----> Thank you Doctor.

[knowhelpnow]

Why would anyone care?

[NoSillyName]

LOL, TMI.

[dbroad]

Lighten up folks! He was kidding(although it wasnt really funny). For all we know, they could be having sex several times a day! How many men think there is such a thing as too much sex?

[brobike42]

Wait a minute! Wait a minute! What's a Republican doing complaining about his wife not having sex with him? I thought Republican men only have sex with young men. And as for Republican women? Closest thing to slavery we have in this country. But they seem to like it.

[dbroad]

you should focus on your anger issues.

[bluegrasser]

No, you should: to attack the guy as having anger issues based on his light-hearted response is a dead give away that you have issues . . . period.

[Mabo]

Just because YOU imagine (or want it) to be that way, doesn't mean it is. You seriously don't think that, do you?

[BCameron]

I do. If the shoe fits...

[repugssuck]

What's so shocking about the statement, if he's 40 something or over and his wife is going through menopause he might as well join the other 50,000,000 men going through the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!

[RFBorjal]

Perhaps, the wife suspects the Governor might be a patron of Emperor's Club V.I.P. and is afraid of contracting AIDS/HIV. If the New York Governor could be, why couldn't the Minnesota Governor be?

[nyboomer]

Spitzer is extremely wealthy. Don't know about Pawlenty.

[Moebius]

Good line. I saw the punchline a mile away though.

[doctordawg]

So, which would be worse, Christian readers? If the gov hires a hooker a couple of times, thus committing adultery but asking forgiveness later, or divorce and remarry someone who's hot for his body, thus committing adultery for the rest of his remarried life?

Now, don't make stuff up. Stick to the Bible.

[CarlyCorday]

doctordawg, as a Christian, i gotta try to explain something to you. But you've got to open your mind way up.

Here's the thing: The governor was KIDDING!

Dang, bro.

[dm92]

I know he was supposed to be kidding, but often comedy mimicks life....sorta strange to joke about this if there is not some truth to it - especially since so many people their age who have been married for a long time supposedly don't do it often.

[whatchamean]

HUFF PO EXCLUSIVE!!! IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT BARACK OBAMA, LIKELY DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, HAS REGULAR SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH HIS WIFE. YOUR HEARD ME RIGHT FOLKS, WITH HIS WIFE. IS AMERCIA READY TO ACCEPT A PRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY IS HOT FOR HIS OWN WIFE. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME, MAYBE SINCE JOHN AND ABAGAIL ADAMS THAT THE PRESIDENT AND HAS WIFE WERE, UH, DOING THE NASTY. LAURA AND GEORGE? DON'T THINK SO, HILLARY AND BILL? NOT LIKELY
GEORGE AND BARBARA? DON'T WANT THAT IMAGE IN MY BRAIN. IS THIS A LEGITIMITE ISSUE?
YOU DECIDE.

[puffhost]

I wonder if she is the fish girl of Led Zeppelin lore? Or would that be her mom?

Perhaps she has a kinky side he needs to get in touch with. She has a sly kind of kinky smile.

[Quaoar]

You mean mudshark-girl? That took place in 1969 so it would have to be her mom.
