Tim Pawlenty Plans Speaking Gigs

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has hooked up with a noted speakers bureau to arrange appearances after he leaves office in early 2011.

The firm, Leading Authorities, announced Wednesday that it had an exclusive deal with Pawlenty. Terms weren't disclosed.

Pawlenty is three months from the end of his second and final term. The Republican is weighing a 2012 bid for president. He has been touring the country and has a book on the way.

The roster of Leading Authorities speakers ranges from former White House spokeswoman Dana Perino to retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal.
