http://trueslant.com/allisonkilkenny/2010/01/11/massachusetts-senate-race-may-make-or-break-healthcare-reform/Not to mention this Brown character sounds like an absolute lunatic:
Brown, a guest at a King Philip Regional High School assembly to discuss legislative initiatives, opened by reading obscenity-laced facebook.com Web site comments directed against him for his anti-gay marriage stance and, by association, against his family.
He said some of the written comments attributed to KP students, whom he named aloud at the assembly, were directed at his daughter.
The lawmaker held captive to his outrage many KP students who were innocent of the name-calling and foul language, and did so in a manner unbecoming to his roles as caring parent and respected lawmaker. Who among us would not be prepared to do battle against anyone disparaging and dishonoring our loved ones?
So the entire healthcare reform movement (what’s left of it) rests upon the outcome of one Senate race where there’s a statistically favorable chance the winner will be someone who can’t keep his shit together long enough to not scream at a gym full of frightened high schoolers.
Yeah. I don’t want to be a fearmonger (it is hard to predict these things, and some sources say Coakley’s lead is solid,) but this is fairly worrisome. Perhaps this will be a good motivator for Coakley’s camp to push hard this last week, and get the word out to Dems to vote, vote, vote.
http://www.capecodtoday.com/blogs/index.php/2007/03/02/massachusetts_state_senator_scott_brown?blog=119This is a great story about how State Senator Scott Brown, (on right in Cosmo) out of Wrentham and leading candidate for the Massachusetts Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in 2008, had a "meltdown" in front of 80 King Philip's High School students at a student assembly. Brown had asked to speak to the students because he felt he had been "abused" by student detractors from King's Philip High School who made fun of him on their student run internet chatroom, "facebook."
At the assembly in King Phillip's High School auditorium, State Senator Brown called each student out, one by one, using curse words that every mother would be horrified to hear and would've covered their children's ears if they were there. Above the protests of all the teachers who were aghast at the state Senator's anti-social behavior and foul language, Brown refused to stop his child-like tirade calling each student out one by one in great pleasure.
If this man thinks he should be entitled to the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate just because there are only a few GOP contenders out there, then how can a man with such thin skin be able to defeat John Kerry whose skin is thin and cold-blooded already. What make's Brown think he can represent Massachusetts as United States Senator when it's obvious he can't even handle a few teenagers teasing him.
