Tim Pawlenty’s Presidential Campaign Video, Seemingly Directed by Michael Bay

by Liz Colville

Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, who is allegedly running for president in 2012, has released this incredibly dramatic campaign video featuring an ear-popping James Horner-esque brass section with scary drums, echo-y, repetitive soundbites of himself talking in a way that suggests he is a famous president of the past known for his public speaking, and glimpses of historic moments in our country’s history. There are even some movie trailer-like “credits” and a plug for his book, Courage to Stand, at the very end. (“AVAILABLE NOW.”) Nice. [Via]
