Owens v. Pawlenty

Posted by Eric at 9:30 pm. Filed under: General

Minnesota and Colorado have a couple of cut-ups as governors. Check out the “your quarter is ugly” back and forth between these guys.

Colorado Gov. Bill Owens:

“I think Minnesota left something to be desired,” he told a number of reporters at the State Capitol. “It has lakes and canoes and big mosquitoes on it.”

Later, in a separate interview, Owens went further calling the mosquito the “Minnesota state bird,” and saying “Pawlenty’s a close friend of mine and I enjoy giving him grief. Would you ask him, what’s going on with his quarter? That’s one ugly quarter.”

“When Pawlenty comes on, tell him his quarter is an example of what not to do with a quarter.”

But Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty retorted:

“We are undertaking an investigation because I think there’s some subliminal messaging in these mountain peaks depicting Governor Owens in the buff and so we’re concerned about that and it’s something that I think is going to be a revelation in the great state of Colorado.”

Now that’s funny. Particularly when you see the Colorado quarter.
