Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and he uttered the “Oh, snap” of the day.

He followed up with more snappy truth.

Zing!

One Twitter user points out that Pawlenty is a better surrogate for Mitt Romney than he was for himself.

In any event, we’ll take it. You know his remarks hit home when Twitter progressive immediately start whining.

Pawlenty is out of his mind. Dems are moderate and mixed. Repubs are extremist and controlled by the Tea Party. #ThisWeek
