GQ named former Republican presidential candidate and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty as the "least influential" person alive in its December 2011 issue.

"T-Paw (as he calls himself) spent much of 2011 as a six-foot-tall paperweight, an aggressively forgettable fellow perfectly suited to the role of debate filler," wrote Drew Magary for GQ. "The $1 million he spent to lose the Iowa straw poll might as well have been burned in front of a group of orphans."
