Minnesota First Lady Mary Pawlenty is just fine with her husband Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a potential presidential candidate, referring to her as "my red-hot, smokin' wife."
Pawlenty made the comment while speaking to the Iowa Republican Party in April. "Thank you, Lord, for my red-hot, smokin' wife," he said, quoting the Will Ferrell comedy Talladega Nights, a movie about an idiotic NASCAR driver.
"Obviously I can only speak for myself," Mary Pawlenty told the Minnesota-based ECM newspapers, "but I don't know a woman alive who wouldn't love to have her husband refer to her as his 'red-hot smoking' wife."

Someone should tell the Pawlentys that it's not really healthy to smoke during sex.

They don't have sex. Tim said so on the radio a while back.

Thank you for the levity, Eric. The HCR news is unrelentingly depressing.

Really? This is really a story? Do you not remember Biden's words about his wife back when he was chosen as Obama's running mate? Didn't we all think that was just adorable of him?
The fact that he was quoting a movie make this even less interesting. Please, move on.

"Do you smoke after sex?"
"I don't know. I've never looked."

Their sex life is probably as bland as he is. They probably do it fully clothed, lights off and only missionary.

Who cares? As long as they are faithful and happy, how they get their jollies with each other is their business.

Yes. Vote for Pawlenty so we can have a First Red Hot Smokin' Lady in the White House.

Actually, that motto might have worked for Kucinich, if he'd tried it. Timmah? Not so much.

I wonder if he calls her that when he's talking to his mistresses?

His red hot smokin' wife likes fishing better than sex (or at least that's what Tim said during a radio interview.

navamsk is right. What do Pawlenty, Palin, and Huckabee have in common? A vote for them assures a 2nd term for Obama.
