Jon Stewart had Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty on his show last night, and asked him whether he was planning on running for President in 2012. Pawlenty replied that he doesn’t have the things a candidate needs to run these days: “I don’t have a billion dollars. I don’t have novelty. I don’t have a big schtick.”

“What do you mean like a ventriloquist dummy?” Stewart asked.
