GOP Senator Scott Brown channels Scrooge: blocks unemployment benefits, then throws swanky party
Anybody with a bit of Scrooge or the Grinch in them should head on up to Boston Thursday night for the "Christmas & Holiday Party with Senator Brown."
It's a must-do, don't-miss event for anybody with a stony heart who otherwise has little opportunity to go out during the season of tiresome cheer and goodwill.
Scott Brown is of course the new senator from Massachusetts whose decisive vote on Tuesday kept Congress from extending unemployment benefits that will now run out for 2 million Americans during the holiday season. And that is not counting their kids.
Ted Kennedy will never seem more dead than when his successor follows this monumental callousness with a big holiday bash at the Park Plaza Hotel.
"Hope you can make our Christmas Party this Friday in Boston," Brown tweeted to his 26,000 followers after helping to guarantee the bleakest of holidays for millions of kids whose parents are jobless.
Tiny Tim times maybe 4 million!
Scrooge and the Grinch never dreamed of those numbers!
Talk about Bah! Humbug!
