So let me get this straight - Ted Kennedy's senate seat went to a guy who posed nude in a magazine.

[Initech]

And on his commercials, his only qualification seemed to be that he "owned a truck" and "one of his daughters did well on American Idol".

W. T. Fucking F. :wtf: :nuke:

[babylonsister]

1. It's just sad in so many ways. nt

[Initech]

3. I'm absolutely speechless. Literally, there are no words.

[1awake]

8. It is terribly sad,

but whats worse for me is as sad as Brown is.. alot of people voted for him over our person.. whats that say about us?

Maybe it boils down to people vote for change... either politicians provide change.. or the voters will.

Ignore me.. I'm just a little disgusted right now.

[babylonsister]

14. That says that Dems and Coakley did not take this seriously enough.

I think they thought they had it in the bag. They were wrong. But I feel so bad for the Kennedy's, and Teddy's legacy if that gets shot down.

I'm disgusted, too, and frankly shocked by the Dems in MA.

[ORDagnabbit]

2. people do odd things when they get pissed off.

just cause you got a (D) behind your name dont mean people will automatically support you.

hopefully they've learned a lesson for the 2010 elections..'


and oh yeah congress and president Obama btw....get the fuck off your asses and do something!

Get us out of Iraq
Get us out of Afghanistan
Get us out of Debt
and fricken do the goddamn things you promised you'd do!

[Initech]

It's like we're living in bizarro world right now.

[Ardent15]

4. The two-party system does this....

Really, it's ridiculous.

[jgraz]

6. We have two parties?

News to me. What's the second one? :shrug:

[Initech]

13. Yeah I'm wondering that as well.

[tblue]

5. Sarah Palin with a d---.

Spouting populist rhetoric but actually a far right lunatic and not much gray matter. We've seen this play before.

[The Straight Story]

7. Well, shouldn't non-lawyers and such be able to be senators?

We need more nude in the senate :) Watch, he will run for prez in 2012.

[Abq_Sarah]

16. Personally, I'd like fewer lawyers in congress

Brown is a lawyer.

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. Instant celebrity. It's meaningless but it's very powerful

[spanone]

10. not only that, his seat will be used to fuck over the dream of his life

[Initech]

15. Owning two trucks?

[Tailormyst]

11. Yeah- up is down, light is dark, long is short..............

I'm still sort of dumbfounded that it really did happen.

[Grand Taurean]

12. Sarah Palin in a suit.

He was smart enough to hide his extremism as where Palin lays it out in your face.

[Historic NY]

17. Yup & he seems to be a birther, illegitimate wedlock, teabagger too.

[Orangepeel]

18. The nude photos helped him. Made him seem less conservative

He got elected for the same reasons Arnold did in California

[intheflow]

20. That's the perfect analogy.

Since he'll do to Massachusetts what Arnold did in California. It's the Republicans self-fulfilling prophecy of how government doesn't work. :grr:

[Orangepeel]

21. I wish he'd only do it to Massachusetts.

I'd feel bad for the minority of people who voted for Coakly, but those who voted for Brown or didn't vote would deserve it. Unfortunately, he's going to help the Senate keep the whole country fucked.

:-(

[nonsheeple]

19. As opposed to......

An attorney general that failed to take action against a curling iron child rapist because that person had big union ties?

Scott Brown is a state senator. He's an educated lawyer. He's more qualified than a lot of senators in congress, including other republicans.

[krabigirl]

23. oh, and he's SUPER nice to rape victims, too! nice try troll

[wisteria]

22. Pathetic isn't it. I think Palin had more qualifications. n/t

[Kat45]

24. It's like a bad episode of "The Twilight Zone."

Stomach-turning in a sickening way.

[Quantess]

25. He likes to wear painted on shorts, too:

I can't get over how tight those shorts are.

[Ter]

26. He gained momentum when he said something like

"It's not Ted Kennedy's seat. It's the people's seat." Catchy phrases won the election I guess. :(

[juajen]

27. It's ok. He's a pug. NT

[paulsby]

28. not really

his schlong was covered. i would call that "semi nude"

he showed about as much skin as a swimmer in a speedo

which rates about a 2 in the BFD dept.
