Gov. Tim Pawlenty

GOP presidential candidate and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty was glitter-bombed by two female activists during a stop in SF recently. "Tim Pawlenty, where is your courage to stand?" they shouted. "Stand for reproductive rights! Stand for gay rights." An officer escorted them from the premises. Medea Benjamin, founder of CODEPINK, said the goal of the confetti dumping was to bring attention to Pawlenty's same-sex-marriage legislation.
