Pawlenty's co-chair shortchanged T-Paw's own obvious sex appeal (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters)
Of all the reasons why Michele Bachmann is going to beat Tim Pawlenty and every other Republican in Iowa,
this isn't one:
"It's going to be very hard to beat Michele in Iowa. Period," Weber said of both the Iowa caucuses and August's influential straw poll in Ames.
"She's got hometown appeal, she's got ideological appeal, and, I hate to say it, but she's got a little sex appeal too," he said in a phone interview.
Weber seems to have recognized the idiocy of his statement; within hours, he apologized to Bachmann.
For my money, the person he should have apologized to is Tim Pawlenty, though. It was really kind of rude for Weber to ignore his candidate's obvious sex appeal.
