| The Man Is An Empty Suit |
Looking at the youtube recorded debates between Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren, it was wonderful seeing the adage: "The Worst Thing for a Bad Product is Good Advertising" come to full life.
Mr. Brown was asked who the perfect Supreme Court justice would be.
He paused, and you could see the lights are not all on upstairs, but eventually he came out with "Justice Scalia," but when the groans from the audience grew loud, he added, "Justice Kennedy." Silence. Then, "Justice Soto-Mayer."
Well, give him points for at least being able to remember the names of some Supreme Court justices--a feat you know would have been way beyond the capacity of Sarah Palin--but, when he was reminded he had traveled a long distance between Justice Scalia and Justice Soto-Mayer, he said, "Well, that's the thing about being a bi partisan guy who can cross the aisle."
Fact is, his first response was the honest one, the spontaneous revelation of just how conservative he is, if we can actually believe he knows anything about Justice Scalia's positions. More likely, he's just heard his backers say kind things about Scalia.
The fact is, he is an empty suit. He has learned the lines from the GOP script, the GOP Hymns and Verses, the GOP gospel, but he has no idea about what they really mean.
Anyone who continues to scream about deficits in a depressed economy has got to be able to answer Paul Krugman's lucid explanation about why deficit spending in our current economy is not a bad thing, and in fact, how much more government spending is just what we need right now, not forever, but now.
But Mr. Brown is not interested in testing his beliefs, in critical analysis. All he wants is to be able to play the role of United States Senator, to be back at the Senate gym, to have his parking space at the airport and his nice office in the Senate office building.
For an airhead, this is the best job he can ever hope to get.
Just for fun: go to youtube. Here's the link

Why Mad Dog, the empty suit that coincides with the empty promises and empty head-doesn't he at least get points for consistency? The video-"Scott Brown the Prettiest Candidate"on You Tube is great-the guy who conceived the idea of using puppets is a genius..

Maud,
DeleteVan Gogh was a genius, but was unnoticed in his time. Fortunately, his paintings had relevance for posterity.
Dylan has genius, but was struggled for years to be heard; but he was not running for office. He was simply trying to be heard, and time was on his side.
That youtube posting can only be measured by its success or lack of it.
In politics, they call it a "race" for a reason. There is a finish line.
The empty suit, the headless horseman is simply closing in on that too quickly.
