Seriously....

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty was slapped on the wrist for publishing a family photo album on his official website. From KARE 11:

Governor Tim Pawlenty said Tuesday that he directed his staff to remove childhood photos from his official state Web site after a DFL state representative questioned if it was a proper use of state resources.

"Believe me, I would be more than happy to get rid of those pictures and take them off," Pawlenty said of the "Pawlenty Family Photo Album" that includes a number of school pictures of the governor, and family photos of Pawlenty playing with siblings, riding a tricycle and mowing the lawn.

But Pawlenty brushed off another concern raised by Rep. Tom Rukavina, DFL-Virginia, who pointed out that Web users who type in three Internet addresses — pawlentyforgovernor.com, pawlenty2006.com, timpawlenty.com — are automatically connected to the governor's official, state-sponsored Web site.

"The state is paying us to get a little walkthrough of Tim Pawlenty's life," Rukavina said. "Isn't that cute?"

Turns out, Pawlenty did nothing wrong (no policy against posting pictures on-line).  Rep. Rukavina really does need to find better use of his time.
