On Friday night, Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN) gave the keynote address at the College Republicans National Convention. Perhaps seeking cache with his young audience, he referred to a stunt at the recent MTV Movie Awards, and suggested that the Republican Party should be just like the rapper Eminem:
Opening his remarks with a reference to NBCs Inside the Obama White House special, Pawlenty told the gathering of about 200 students, I havent seen something that staged since that half-naked Austrian fell onto the face of Eminem at the MTV music awards.
Eminem was mad, he continued, to laughter and applause. And so, just like Eminem getting dumped on, weve got to kind of regroup. Weve got to continue to fight. And weve got some things worth fighting for.
Considering Eminem has been criticized for sexism and homophobia, perhaps he is already serving as a model for the modern conservative movement.
Update Was Pawlenty aware that Eminem's current single features a line about his desire to "nail" Sarah Palin and tell her, "Baby say hello to my little friend"?
