Waaaa: Tim Pawlenty edition

So Tim Pawlenty is eschewing spending limits. Not really all that surprising, but his reason is pretty lame: he says that "this decision allows us to remain competitive against the onslaught of spending from liberal special interest groups."

Give me a break. As if there won't be tons of conservative special interest groups like the Taxpayers League or MCCL filling the airwaves with attacks against Hatch.

We all know why Pawlenty isn't abiding by the spending limits: as a Republican incumbent, he will have access to plenty of money. Let's be honest about it and refrain from silly excuses, shall we?
