New Hit Halloween Costume: Tim Pawlenty As Conan O’Brien?

Tim Pawlenty and Conan O'Brien

Tim Pawlenty is continuing to exchange banter on the campaign trail — this time with Conan O’Brien, after the late night comedy host made a joke about Pawlenty being lame and unexciting.

Monday afternoon, O’Brien tweeted:

Is it too early to predict that Tim Pawlenty will not be a popular Halloween costume?

To which Team Pawlenty has responded with their own tweet — joking about dressing up in a bright orange “Team Coco” wig:

@ConanOBrien Wait until I unveil my Team Coco wig then everyone will want the costume. It might even deliver IA for me #ginger #iacaucus

Well, that certainly would make Pawlenty a bit more memorable.
