Scott Brown is a despicable, contemptible, deceitful, smarmy, badmouthing, slandering, disingenuous, dishonest, self-serving, narcissistic, pathetic excuse for a human being. If he is elected to the Senate tomorrow, it is a clear sign that there is something wrong with the American people.
Of course, the elections of 2000 and 2004 should have already told us that. But I was thinking that the cloud of retardation which swept over the United States in 2000 had lifted, and we were living now in a more rational world. I’m worried, though. It’s going to be a long night.
At first I thought he was just an empty suit. A good looking guy, and I’m a bit surprised that the naked pose for Cosmo didn’t hurt him with the bible bangers among the tea-baggers, but who am I to make a big deal over that?
Then there was his statement that he wasn’t a teabagger and didn’t even really know what this teabagger movement was all about, even though he had spoken at a major tea party event and knowing full well that they are a huge part of his support. A bit disingenuous, I thought, but a smart political move. After all, the teabaggers are going to vote for him anyway, because they are determined to stop Obama from giving them affordable health care.
As for everybody else, the answer he gave was one they were reassured to hear.
But in the last couple of days, he has gone too far. When a fan at one of his rallies shouted out that Martha Coakley should have a curling iron shoved up her butt, he paused, waiting for the crowd reaction but not disagreeing with the sentiment expressed, and then, smiling, went on with his speech. His next sentence was “We can do this.”
During an interview on a TV show, he made a remark about Stanley Anne Dunham, Barack Obama’s mother, being only 18 when he was born. First of all, it really is sleazy to attack somebody’s mother. Secondly, what’s the big deal? Is he saying that 18 is too young to have a child? Since when? Anyway, it gets worse. When the announcer quickly added “and married,” he said “Well, I don’t know about that.”
Yes, you do, Scott. You’re involved in politics, you’ve studied your opponents, you know perfectly well that his parents were married at the time of his birth. So, you are not only a prude (but a prude who posed nude) and a slanderer, but you are a liar as well.
The thing that really bothered me: just as in the case of the Coakley comment, he was smiling all the time.
