Yesterday, Tim Pawlenty tweeted, “Great moment on @SouthwestAir flight this AM, flight attendant got stuck on emergency row instructions & she gave me the mic to help her out.”

Southwest verified that this incident occurred in a statement to Politico: “One of our Flight Attendants playfully engaged Mr. Pawlenty as she was making her pre-flight announcements. He was a good sport and, having traveled with us before and knowing the routine, he jumped in and offered to help finish the announcements, which he did. We like to have fun with our announcements and engage our customers, and this one just happened to be the former governor of Minnesota.”
