Scott Brown Interview

Wow. What a breathtakingly unoriginal argument. Is that just the same GOP code for “no health care reform” or is he actually walking in with his own bill, based on his experience in MA.

Let me guess…

Thanks, KT. So that’s what you were doing this morning. I thought maybe you were traveling back home. Sorry to play spell check, but first sentence should be “I sat down…”. I doubt you sawed him in half like Harry Blackstone or David Copperfield. I hope you get some rest (and drinks) after your campaign coverage.

A refreshing new message I am sure that the good citizens of MA haven’t heard before. Right?

…and KT, kudos for not falling for his tell-me-what’s-in-the-bill spin and making him try to answer YOUR question. Re: his “let’s do it right” HCR thingy, does that mean he favors single payer? (That’s my token snark for the day, I tried to avoid the flinging crap from this morning’s thread.) His “I’m a man” quote rings true: he has the magazine photos to prove it, but I digress.

What does any of that even mean?

And right now, the majority party seems to be the party pushing it through.

Um, yeah, Scott. That’s because the minority party has committed to a strategy of pure obstructionism, which you promised explicitly to support. Remember that whole “41st senator to stop Obamacare” thing? What did you think you were talking about, precious?

And, “what’s the hurry?” What hurry are you talking about? We’ve been trying to get healthcare reform done for 40 years. The original schedule for this legislation had it going to the president’s desk in August. I guess your definition of “hurry” is different from mine. I got mine from the English language, by the way. Where’d you get yours?

Ay, yi, yi. This guy is a United States Senator now.

Compared to this genius, Jim Inhofe looks like Daniel Webster.

“I think people will be outraged, regardless of party, if they let that happen. And right now, the majority party seems to be the party pushing it through. What’s the hurry? I mean really, if we are going to do something, let’s do it right.”

Give ‘em HELL Harry, I mean Scott!!

(For those who are old enough, that is a reference to Harry Truman)

Thank God Brown won!

thanks. fixing.

deconstructiva: Once Silver called it I didn’t even bother watching any of the returns. When I got up this morning the MIL had left me a sweet little message on the refrigerator whiteboard. It read:
.
YOU LOST!

HA HA!
.
After a quick trip to the DISH remote and some lockout work I changed it to:
.
YOU LOST
FOX and CBN!

HA HA!

sacred, the first LOL I had today!

sacred, that’s a good one. No CBN? That’s gotta hurt. But she must learn when you rule the tv remote you rule the house. Is there a channel for Satanism, Gothic stuff, or something else to fill the spiritual void, besides porn?

Did you ask him to take his shirt off?

The people of Massachusetts get to hold the rest of the country hostage to their special election?

What’s the hurry has been their chant for 6 months.

My wife, MIL and I went to my ex-MIL’s last night and didn’t get home until fairly late. The MIL wanted to watch the returns and I told her that Brown had won (I believe Silver). I told her that a voice had told me in a dream that Brown would be the winner so there was no need to watch. She believes in signs, portents, dreams and the like. When I got home this afternoon from work I kept asking her if she was OK and how she felt. When she asked me why I was asking I just said that I’d had a frightening dream last night.

What’s the hurry? how about people who die each and every day because they don’t have access to health care?

God but he’s an *ss.

It will be interesting if Barack plays him in hoops. Brown played collegiately. Obama didn’t. I bet Obama would get schooled.

Okay, I have a followup question for Mr. Brown – how about if we DO take the MA plan national? would he support that?

I’m guessing NO. What a maroon.

I think I’m going to Hell. She was upstairs getting ready for church a little while ago and I went up and asked her if she was going to church. She said yes and asked why. I told her that was where it happened. I said to sit next to somebody with a cellphone just in case. I hugged her and kissed her forehead and made my voice crack when I said “I love you. Be careful.”. She didn’t go to church. God, I love being ignorant.

I demand a recount! My kingdom for a hanging chad.

Is your kingdom paid for? I’m not trading my hanging chads for a mortgage.
.
I sent out congratulations e-mails to most of my republican friends when I got home. A pre-emptive strike so to speak. I stopped this morning and bought donuts for work too. They took it fairly easy on me.
.
One of the older guys said it nice of me to bring in donuts and the youngest guy said I was trying to kill them. He’s going to take my place when I retire.

sacred, while thinking about Sarah Palin’s Pentecostal background and exorcising demons, I’m wondering if you can send your MIL somewhere else if she won’t attend church. Perhaps a strip club? Tell her it’s some primitive revival where women dance the Devil away, literally. Give her money for the collection plate too and tell her to just pass it to the women directly. If the club is dry or BYOB, even better. The lack of free-flowing alcohol might make this believable.

A strip club? She won’t even watch an R-rated movie with us. She’s been taking her temperature and blood pressure every few minutes since I messed with her. My wife came down a little while ago and told me that I’ve got until 8 to tell her I’m pulling her leg or else she will. I think I’ll go up and just hug her for a minute or two. The only reason my wife is letting it go this far is because she said she thought her mom was asking for it when she wrote the message in the first place. She still isn’t getting Fox or CBN back until spring though.

Dude, you are killing me.

Have I mentioned lately that, when I laugh, it hurts?

I agree that he had a lot to say about health care, but had the distinct impression that he does not in fact know the details of the current Senate and House bills. Perhaps that is unfair. What is your impression?
.
Also, other bloggers are debating whether Senator Brown will be a staunch conservative, or hew more closely to the Snowe/Collins line, particularly if he wants to be reelected in 2012. Again appreciate your view.
.
Thx.

SZ: Maybe laughter isn’t the best medicine right now. I hope you recover completely pretty soon. I did tell her that I was just pulling her leg but I said it with a straight face while trying to look worried. Then I asked her if there was something she wasn’t telling us about her last visit to the doctor’s office. She thinks I’m a little bit psychic. A little over a week ago she came in from a trip to the grocery store and stuck her keys in her coat pocket then hung it up in the hall closet. I was sitting at the kitchen table reading the paper. The next day she came downstairs and asked if I’d seen her keys because she couldn’t find them. I held her hand, closed my eyes and then told her to look in her coat pocket. I’m 54 going on 10.

@sacredh, i disagree w/ your politics, but damn you’re funny! i like to torture my MIL too.
