Pawlenty told Stewart he's running for president of his youth soccer league, and he's all in favor of "iCollege"
It was another day, another dodge on questions about his presidential aspirations when Gov. Tim Pawlenty made his much-ballyhooed first appearance on "The Daily Show" last night.

"Now, this is the end of your second term as Minnesota governor?" host Jon Stewart asked him.

"Yes."

"So you're coming around on a farewell from public life tour, unless there's an announcement you'd like to to make?"

"Yeah. I'm going to run for president ... of my youth soccer league."

"What?"

From there, T-Paw makes his pitch for lower taxes, more effective government -- and "iCollege."

Wait. iCollege?

The fact checking will come later, but for now here's the raw video from the opening segment of the show. (Parts 2 and 3 after the jump.)
