"Let's get the Indians to illegally import drugs and then sell them here."
That's the latest suggestion from Timmy the Boy Governor. You may remember that, in knowing violation of Federal law, Governor Tim Pawlenty set up state sponsored Web sites to help Minnesotans fill their prescriptions in Canada at greatly reduced prices. Indeed, he even fixed it so that state employees don't even have a co-pay if they use the Canadian pharmacies.
But now it looks like the Feds are going to shut down Timmy's bootleg sites.
His answer: Let's get the Indians to run drugs from Canada for us. Some of their reservations straddle the border. They're "sovereign nations" which always slows down the Feds. And they probably know some of their own kind in Canada who would be willing to help.
This from the man who, at the same time, has demanded that unless the Indian casinos pay a confiscatory new state tax he will open a state sponsored Las Vegas run casino in the Twin Cities and bankrupt them.
This from the law and order Republican who insists we are a nation of laws not of men.
This from the moral man, and Evangelical Christian who ... well, come to think of it, in today's American it is all pretty consistent, isn't it?
