Why didn't Scott Brown speak out agianst Jeff Perry last fall when Perry was running for Congress. Brown endorsed this guy who ENABLED a child abuser.

Why did Scott Brown do that bizarre reading in front of the kids at the King Philip School back in 2007. (link: http://www.bluemassgroup.com/diary/18608/scott-browns-obscene-high-school-presentation-makes-rightwing-headlines )

Ah, something doesn't add up here. I don't recall Scott Brown sticking his neck out during the beginnings of the Clergy Sex Abuse scndal hre in MA in 2001-2003, when it would have truly been courageous.

Child abuse is a horrific thing. To admit to being a victim of child abuse for political reasons would also be a horrific thing. I don't understand the timing of Brown's announcement. Why now, except to sell books and get sympathy before next year's election.

Let me see the 60 Minutes story, but Brown's background doesn't lend itself to my automatic sympathy for his revelation. I will withhold emotion for now.

NATICK — U.S. Sen. Scott Brown is standing behind his endorsement of Republican Jeffrey Perry for the 10th Congressional District, despite comments from the victim of a Wareham strip search that Perry ignored her pleas for help.

"First of all, it's horrible what that girl went through," Brown said in a brief interview Thursday at the New England Newspaper & Press Association 2010 Fall Conference at Crowne Plaza, where he gave a speech. He added that nobody should have to go through what Lisa Allen, a 14-year-old girl at the time of the 1991 incident, went through. "The fact is that the person who did it was tried and convicted."

During Thursday's interview, Brown said he has never read any of the court documents in the strip search case. Those records show that Perry, a Wareham police sergeant at the time, was at the scene when Flanagan ordered Allen to pull up her shirt and bra and reached his hand into her underwear.

"Jeff Perry was nearby when Scott Flanagan illegally strip searched me," Allen, now in her 30s, said in a statement released by her attorney Wednesday. "Perry knew what Flanagan did, he had to hear me screaming and crying. Instead of helping me, Jeff Perry denied anything happened."

Brown, as he has in a radio spot released Wednesday, said Perry has run a campaign based on the issues. He called on Democrat William Keating to stop using the Wareham scandal in political ads. "(Perry's) run, I feel, an honest and respectable campaign," Brown said. "It's to the point: 'Bill, stop with the dirty politics.'"

Scotty, what ?????????
