Minnesota Governor, and possible GOP 2012 presidential contender, Tim Pawlenty recently told Sean Hannity three terms as governor is one too many: “I’ve talked to a lot of governors that have served three terms without naming names, I think in their quiet or private moments, confidentially, they’d say you know it wasn’t their best effort that last term. And so I learned long ago … that there’s less joy and more trouble in that last slice of pizza or that last glass of beer.”
One wonders if Gov. Perry has considered the agony and ecstasy of his last slice of pizza. He’s running for a third term, and if he wins, individuals who were not born when he became governor will be in high school when he leaves office. It should be a sobering thought for someone who believes so strongly in limited government.

Glad you caught this one too. Any idea of Perry and Pawlenty are "friendly"? Obviously they're both part of the RGA, but I was wondering if they've ever worked together. Anyway, nice to stumble upon a fellow Texas blogger.
