Pawlenty’s Silly Slam

Former Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-MN) is taking on fellow Minnesotan Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) for her lack of accomplishment in Congress:

I like Congresswoman Bachmann. I’ve campaigned for her. I respect her. But her record of accomplishment in Congress is non-existent. It’s non-existent.

How silly is attacking her lack of Congressional accomplishments? Congresswoman Bachmann came into Congress as Democrats were taking over. Republicans just got into the majority this year, so she hasn’t had the opportunity to accomplish much.

Of course, Pawlenty’s got a legitimate dig that he goes on to make:

We’re looking for who can lead a large enterprise in a public setting and drive it to conclusion. I’ve done that, she hasn’t,

This is fair enough. Pawlenty’s been a governor, she hasn’t. On the other hand, Bachmann is capable of building a Presidential campaign people are willing to support and Pawlenty isn’t. And that will probably make a bigger difference in the long run.
