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!

1. I'm surprised to see an article like that in the NY Daily News!
Which Friday is the party? I'm tempted to try to crash it. I could mingle, converse, tell people I've been unemployed for two years, and see what the reaction is. :rofl:

2. I think we could organize a few thousand out of UC checks to go to...
Scott's house sometime around 6 AM some morning, with a few bull-horns and muscial instruments, (drums and cymbals) to "wake him up" to the realities of Mass unemployed and out of benefits.

Invite all TV channels in Mass, to show up with their satellite trucks, too!

See if they can get him to answer the door.

That man is the worst slime ever elected to the US Senate from Mass.
