Pawlenty on tour, touting Rhee
Yesterday, at the National Press Club, Tim Pawlenty delivered a stirring tribute to ex-DC schools chancellor Michelle Rhee.
"As we were Waiting for Superman, as the movie unfolded in front of the nation, we had superwoman. She was in this district," said Pawlenty "In the most troubled, high spending district in the nation, she was essentially dismissed because of her views. While we were waiting for superman, superwoman was pushed aside. Her name was Michelle Rhee. She was a Democrat and told the truth. She was bold. She was courageous. She spoke truth to power. And they kicked her out."
Today, on the stump, Pawlenty repeated his praise for Rhee in Florida, where Rhee is serving as an educational advisor to Gov. Rick Scott. All this follows
