It's a slap in the face to the honor of Minnesotans by Governor Owens of Colorado:
BO: Yea.
That'd be a great way. Let's just let the people of America decide
which quarter, Tim Pawlenty's quarter which has some mosquitos,
a couple of drunk guys in a boat, a couple of birds called loons,
and the outline of Minnesota, versus the majestic Rocky Mountains,
which you are so proud of, Hugh Hewitt.
Talk about a case of delusions of grandeur, as if Governor Owens himself formed the Rocky Mountains. Who does he think he is, God? Notice how he tries to entice Hugh to worship the rocks?
This from a state that elected Salazar to the Senate, who promised an up or down vote on judges, promptly reneged, then became one of the compromised 14 Senators?
This is war, people! I'm starting to wonder which side Hugh is on. Notice how he tries to get Governor Pawlenty distracted by bashing Fraters:
HH:
Now last time you were here, you also got me into a bunch of trouble
with my Colorado blogging friends, because your irresponsible,
and often not sober group at Fraters have really incited hostility
between the Rocky Mountain State and the Gopher State.
But, Governor Pawlenty would not be disuaded from breaking a scoop:
TP: Well,
you broke a story, and now it's turned into a television war and
some other things. But Hugh, I've got another element to this
that's really a scandal, and I didn't want to break it here on
the radio, but I'm going to go ahead and give you the scoop. We've
been doing some analysis through the Mint and through our own
experts here in Minnesota of the Colorado coin. And again, we
love Colorado. We love the people. We have some real concerns
about their governor. But if you look closely, under nano-technology
and microscopic analysis, the Colorado quarter, the mountains,
has a form of a subliminal message in it. And I think it's a Bill
Owens-inspired plan and plot. And if you look carefully at it,
and you see the analysis, and we're completing it now, you can
quite clearly see a figure of Bill Owens nude, embedded within
the quarter of the State of Colorado, and I think it's a sick
thing on his part.
Shocking! Simply shocking! Really, there's no contest. The serene scene of relaxing on the lake among the pines or the cruel, cruel wilderness, tainted by the ambition of one man. Today, we're all Minnesotans for the love of God and family. Vote early and often for the Minnesota quarter here.
At least you don't have farm animals. We could have had a whitetail and a musky, or better yet the Indian and the Trapper but nope, Doyle overrides the vote and chooses the silly cow and corn. At least some of our quarters are worth $500!
