Governor sued for balancing the budget. That bastard!

From my beloved hometown comes the news that Gov Tim Pawlenty is being sued by the Democrat-controlled state legislature for the cardinal sin of...balancing the state budget.

Last summer T-Paw enraged the legislature by vetoing one tax hike after another to balance the budget. They gambled that eventually he'd be forced to come to the negotiating table. They gambled wrong, and he decided instead to make some real cuts to the bloated state budget.

So they sued him. They insist they're not suing him, but unless you're deaf, blind and dumb, you can see what they're up to.

I'm thinking this has to help Pawlenty.
