Pawlenty likes 'Born this Way' until he is told it is about gay not being a choice

LMAO, this dude is a bit lacking in the intelligence department.

How do you not even know the meaning of one of your "favorite songs"?

He says he likes the song, but then when told what it is about he disagrees and reverts to the standard Republican nonsense that it's a choice.

He is such a dumb cock.

Why doesn't this clown just give up and go back to Eagan and do something useful for society. He can be an overnight stocker at Cub Foods or a greeter at Wal*Mart. HCMC is looking for someone to scrub toilets.

Right now he's just a parasite, draining away money like Gingrich, Palin, Santorum, Bachmann, Huntsman, Paul, Romney, Perry, Bush (all of them), and Huckabee.

Oh wait, looks like they're all worthless parasites. They are now whom they condemn: useless, non-productive, parasitic drains on society.

Get a real job, Timmy.

Of course, it doesn't quite approach the horrifying spectacle of Romney woofing 'Who Let the Dogs Out?' does it????

in fairness, the song is so terrible and over-processed that it's a bit hard to make out the lyrics other than references to "chola" and "orient-made".

True, loki, but there's an entire part that embodies so many possible life "choices." No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life" how do you NOT catch ONE of those?! Don't be a drag just be a queen? Did he really hear the song or was he just saying he liked it to look like a "hip, cool republi-cannot"?

The man is an idiot. He's perfect for the GOP.

Ok I don't know how to do this but lets start a BORN IN THE U.S.GAY THREAD and cum up with a song the republicans can actually use...no wait a song we can use at all their rallies

In his defense, unless you watch the videos, it's easy to have favorites you don't know the meaning to, because the words aren't always easy to hear -- even 20-somethings I know have to look up lyrics on the internet, which is something I can't see the Paw doing.

What gets me in that interview is his retreat to "science hasn't shown it's genetic", as though that means it's a choice. He's just showing his ignorance, as science has been showing that there are a good number of 'heritable' traits that aren't generic, things that come from hormones, etc.

Of course he's also showing his ignorance because it's evident from that that he's never actually talked seriously with any gays -- yet he purports to be competent to make policy decisions concerning the issue! It doesn't take long, talking to gays for real, to find that if it's a choice, less than one in a thousand has any inkling of ever making one.

Why can't any reporter ever ask these guys how many gays they've sat down with to talk about how it really is? For that matter, it would be a superb 'debate' question!
