Scott Brown begs Simon Cowell: Give my daughter another chance

[no_hypocrisy]

Using his newfound fame and ABC News as a platform, Senator-elect Scott Brown is calling on Fox's premier reality TV show to give his daughter one more chance.

In the midst of an otherwise substantive interview Sunday with ABC's Barbara Walters, she asked Senator Brown (R-Mass) what he would like to say to American Idol judge Simon Cowell.

His daughter Ayla Brown was eliminated as a semi-finalist on American Idol's 2005 season. Cowell called then-17-year-old Brown's performance "robotic and empty."

"I would love for him to have her on the show again," her father told ABC's Barbara Walters Sunday.

1. And this guy got Ted Kennedy's seat?

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

5. I have a feeling he'll be gone in 4 years

2013 there will be a real person finally holding that office again

7. He Has To Run Again in 2012

Methinks that the Mass Dems can find a better candidate.

WilliamPitt anyone?

8. Yes, just because you take over for a dearly departed senator doesn't mean you get all 6 years

Kennedy's old seat was up for re-election in 2012 with the rest of his class. Brown will have to run again in 2012 and I think by then Massachusetts will realize what a mistake they made with this idiot. Even Mitt Rommey realized that lightening would not hit twice in Massachusetts and opted to retire instead of facing a probably loss.

13. WilliamPitt U.S. Senate 2012

Is it too early?

2. "Robotic and empty"

A chip off the old block, in other words...

3. We should have had Cowell as an election commentator

"Robotic and empty. Quite possibly the worst attempt to impersonate a U.S. Senator I have seen." :P

[jmm]

4. First he announces his daughters are available and now this?

Way to embarrass your kids!

6. Only Hulk Hogan has a creepier relationship with his daughter

9. WTF? ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[Orsino]

10. This was probably just an offhand remark...

...but given the timing, it does reek of entitlement.

11. How should he have answered the question?

Thats not an easy question for any parent to answer. And probably the same as what the father of hundreds of other Idol contestants would think in response to the same question. Is this the best dirt that can be found?

12. He must have a thing about talent shows

He was a judge on Boston's Community Auditions a few months ago. I so sure given the chance, Ted Kennedy would have done that.
