Help a brother out

In Minnesota, the good guys are on the brink of putting a medical marijuana bill on the governor’s desk. But they have a roadblock:

Unfortunately, Gov. Pawlenty — on the short-list for McCain’s VP, incidentally — has said he “stands with law enforcement” on the issue; meaning, presumably, in opposition to it and inclined to veto based on the opposition of a small but vocal contingent of cops and prosecutors.

One problem: that small but vocal contingent has been exaggerating, offering misleading testimony, and occasionally lying outright about the bill.
