Tim Pawlenty has brought on his latest trash-talk against a political rival — going for some down-home, rural, scatological humor against President Obama.

“We’ve had Barack Obama campaigning to be president for the better part of three years, with all of his soaring rhetoric, with all of his broken promises, with all of his nonsense. I mean, he’s like a manure spreader in a windstorm.”
