Scott should get out of the dirty politics and stay with Fox News

Yes

Yes.

Absolutely not. When he said to Elizabeth Warren, ''look at her, she's obviously not a native American... '' he made a complete fool out of himself. He's ignorant.

Scott Brown should run for everything, all the time, for the hilarity. He's like the Bieber of politics, and his screaming, fainting fans are an invaluable source of entertainment.

Do we really want porn starts making in these positions? I think not!

No!!! He is too wishy-washy to my thinking.

Sam and Jetson drank the koolaid. Elizabeth Warren is from Oklahoma. Many people there are descendents of Native Americans. Senator Warrens great grandmother was Cherokee.

Calling his supporters names gets us nowhere. Eventually they'll see through him for what he is: a two-faced, lying, dirty politician who claims to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal but who votes like a typical Republican, willing to support whichever cause has the biggest bankroll. Sure, run for governor. Keep wasting those corporate dollars. The PEOPLE will show you AGAIN how sick we are of your garbage politics.

When I wrote to him, I always got an answer. Haven't had one answer from Elizabeth Warren. I also have learned that he was the only one who bothered to listen to veterans and get their medals for them that they hadn't been able to get through Kennedy or Kerry. At least I know he works instead of playing golf. We need a worker.

My take. Brown does not have the financial or the leadership qualities to be governor. Brown was not a standout when he was State Senator, narrowly got elected state senator from Norfolk district, and followed carefully on every US senatorial vote rather than lead. Had to examine matters for weeks before making a statement or taking a position. Autographs and marching in parades , hi-fiving at Patriot's games won't do it.
i sent him a lengthly , to the point letter , - 2 months later got a form letter reply. If one of the commentors says she always got a response, was it a form letter that barely addressed the issue, or something personal and to the point?
Anyway, I don't want to talk about him , water over the dam, gone to FOX where all the Republicans that lose races go, for a million a year to comment on things they barely know about. talk about hack jobs and patronage.

The legislature is democrat . I can see that no one party should control everything all the time. So now I will vote for whatever republican gets the nomination.

Scott Brown doesn't need to run for Governor. He is going to be content to sit back and watch Elizabeth make a fool out of herself and the people of Massachusetts. I'm sure Scott is in the position to do anything he wants right now, And I don't think running for Devals seat is high on his list.

If he runs for Governor, the honorable Scott Brown will get my vote. Experienced in State Senate, US Senate, the National Guard and great family man with a lovely wife and two daughters. Popular with other Dems like Ray Flynn. Supports our fishing industry which has been cut 77% by enviros/Feds. He'll fight to keep military contracts for those losing jobs to current sequestration. Tough on terrorists and criminals. He wont take homes by imminent domain for needless new hwy. ramps and wasteful spending. Beholden to no one. Loves basketball too! Who would you rather have?

Elizabeth Warren make a fool of herself? By gaining National support? You Scott Brown people are such sorry LOSERS!! haa haa!

He'd be an improvement over Deval, but would rather have other options.

He would get my vote. But why should he run for Governor after the idiots in this state elected Elizabeth "Lieawatha" over him.

Diana,

Your comment...Scott Brown, "the Bieber of politics, his screaming, fainting fans....", could not be more accurate.

If not for his painfully persuaded following, where would he be?

According to statistics, we had over 300,000 people unemployed in Massachusetts during the time he was in office. Scott Brown vetoed extensions. After being hard pressed while confronted with protesters at his office, he finally went along with the extensions. I was one of the 300,000 who contacted his office. The young woman who answered the phone could not answer a simple question, other than to say, "I don't know". I've contacted several of my representatives over the years, some I have volunteered to help them get elected--never have I been greeted and dismissed in the way his office treated me that day. Maybe instead of hiring a 17 year old to answer important questions about constituency service, he should be wise enough to hire someone who knows a little about the issues he is responsible for, or at the very least, train the personnel to say, "I'm sorry that I can't answer that question, but will certainly have some with more knowledge get back to you".

Some of us had up to 4-6 week delays on payments party due to his dragging his feet on this important issue. I volunteered to help elect Capuano and during this time I did enough research on my own to find out just who Scott Brown really is--in my opinion, he's best suited for Fox News, like his wife who worked for ABC.

Can't vote for Scott, but I'll give him lots of money....
mASS is a lost cause...but 2014 national Senate races look decent for a turnover, despite the fake Pocahontas.

I think Scott Brown is finished with politics. I think he lost the bloodlust for it halfway through his campaign with the .000000000000000000001% Native American E.Warren. I also think the Republican party higher-ups are not too pleased with him not running for SwiftBoat Kerry's seat. The damage being done to this state and country is going to be hard to reverse no matter who the candidate, and I think Scott Brown saw the futility of trying to change things and lost his passion for politics.

By reading comments in favor of Scott Brown being the supreme being in politics, I concluded the following:

You still have his Cosmo pin up hanging on your bedroom wall.

You still believe he is your beat up, pick up trick hero who really works as a carpenter on his day's off--while shopping at Bob's Stores on the weekends.

Anybody can wear a Carhartt jacket and wish to have been in Hollywood instead of Mass Politics.

He owns several or more multi-mil-mansion homes, while maintaining large investments. Hey, with Mitt Romney as a close personal friend, who knows, he too may own his own Bain Capital one day and continue to do what his friends in WS have done over the past 10 years. They are all in it together and this pipe dream of his running and becoming the first Independent politician to work in the state house is another fairy tale.

He boasts about helping veterans yet he has been in the NG for how many years now? Writing mortgages? No war time hero, like his pal Mitt who used the Mormon Church to escape that route. While we send our boys to fight in Vietnam and Iraq, Scott and MItt have only proven to us how they can take the easier path.

I'm tired of the Republicans beating the same damn drums about welfare recipients and illegals. They are not your enemy. Until you wake the hell up and realize this has become a strategic maneuver perpetuated by the Fox News Rep. Party to create civil unrest among our society--you will not get it.

Who Me--

Unemployment is paid primarily by our employers who MANY had no reason to layoff over 300,000 workers because their companies were not in bankruptcy. It was done to increase their bottom line!

If you were not so ignorant of the real issues of today, you would not have made such blatantly uninformed comments about those who were laid off through no fault of their own. If you bothered to take you head out of your @** and educate yourself--it was the Wall Street thuggery which caused this mess. And your boy Scott is right there helping them.

I have worked over 20 years, without interruption, until 2009-own my own home, paid my share of taxes. A job at CVS doesn't cut it. I held out and got a higher paying job.

No, your right, Scott only enjoys paying for CORPORATE WELFARE, who contributed to his campaign.

I'd like to see you give up your job, business or pension--and take a 70% reduction in salary and benefits. Tell me how you are making it.

If not for Elizabeth Warren, those crooks on WS would have stripped everything away from the last few survivors of the middle class. Jail time is too good a deal for what they have done to the 80 million people who have lost homes, jobs and healthcare. Their ill gotten trophy homes, multi-million dollar contacts were paid for by taxpayers!

The real men and women of this country are those who go out and WORK the REAL jobs, making barely enough to survive, while raising families. WS & Co. are a disgrace globally.

You mock the 25 year service of Brown in the National Guard yet you bow at the feet of types like this.....

http://www.wnd.com/2009/08/108048/

Yes.

Who Me,

Obviously, you are of an age where you think that capitalism still works. You and the rest of your Republican loyalists have been duped. I was raised as a conservative democrat. My parents came to this country with nothing, after they were driven and lives ruined from WWII, like many wars I do not believe in because as dad (who fled Nazi Germany) believed, "wars are only to make money for the greed among capitalists". He was much older than my mother who was scarred for life due to the horrors committed to her family and country.

If WS can steal billions from the taxpayers of this country and get away with it--the 8million who were ENTITLED to unemployment benefits DESERVED every penny. And if it happened again, I would do the same without so much as a care about who is paying for it. Because if people like you are selfish, without conscience for the poor, disabled and elderly who continually are beaten down by the republican vultures, there is no point in discussing it.

I hope you never have to see your children or grandchildren in similar situations where they lose their jobs, homes and healthcare.

Until it happens to them, that is when people may change, forget their greed, pride and arrogance, not always, but some do learn hard lessons of waging against the working class of our society. If the elite did not have people working slave jobs, they would never own the corporations which continue to exploit and ruin a once great land.

Ted Kennedy did more for the poor and working class than any other politician could dream of doing. Our true veterans are those who are willing to serve in war time, that's not what some members of the NG are prepared to do. Talk about your FREE PAYCHECKS, but when they learn they have to go to IRAQ, the fun is over. Your pal Scott is one of them. He's a phony who ignores his gay constituency, women's rights and anything having to do with the programs that benefit the working class. Why should he care? He's got a wife working in DC, in Media to help him cultivate his own political entertainment. Gone are the days when free speech reigned over this country and investigative reporters really did their jobs. When Grayson mentioned "K" St, he forgot to include the corp.$media.

I also take offense by his comments made when he was elected to the senate, directed to hundreds of men in the audience, millions of viewers when he said, "hey guys, my daughter's are available". How many father's pose with their daughter's in string bikini's without their wife? He's a real class act. Frankly, he gives me the creeps. Many people feel the same way. I see him as a man who doesn't have much going for him except his looks, will do whatever it takes to get attention, even if it means using his family members. I don't believe he is fit to be dog catcher. He is just one more example of what we don't need in politics--Arrogant, Entitled and Disillusioned.

By all reports, the story of what happened on Martha's Vineyard has never been solved. I don't condone what happened, but take anyone who is in politics and this same outcome would apply. When they take office, especially higher office, those decisions are not left up to them. It is the people who surround them in power who are in the driver's seat.

People make mistakes and I recall he apologized on national TV. How many in politics would do that today, and for less?

Ted had redeeming qualities as I see it, where Scott has none. When someone is attractive physically, they have many advantages in life. Check out the statistics by public schools and people who research the phenomenon.

It's one thing to be in DC everyday telling the democrats "we won't budge". It's another to be sitting on Beacon Hill and touting a bunch of BS to your constituency, when in reality, you are catering to those who helped put you in office --Republican Party.

The people who were laid off were not lazy, as it is suggested. We were unwilling to subscribe to slave wages after losing a job that was stripped away from us by the Harvard Business Model of "how to increase your bottom line". And this model continues to cripple our working class by forcing people into retirement before the age of 65, without healthcare.

I hope you have saved for your long term healthcare. Don't enter any of the nursing home house of horrors. Can we show a list of nursing home owners online and profits?

He went home to bed.....she lived for awhile trying to claw her way out before she drowned.

Oh, but I see where he apologized so hey that's all that matters....

To bad Teddy wasn't around today to help with that Harvard Business model thingy...but then again maybe not so much as he got thrown out of Harvard for cheating....

Ha...I find it comical that you would list "those indicted". I have an quick and easily deciphered response....set up. DiMasi went against the Casino's...they only got him on $10k? How about "fictitious accounts" during prohibition when judges took envelopes every Friday, and politicians who forced the bootleggers to pay for their sons and daughters college tuition or go to jail. I wonder if they saw any jail time, in that movie made for Hollywood? Corruption is everywhere--but the more important question is this--who does it benefit the most to see one peg taken out of the board game so that others can have the advantage? Are casinos coming to Everett? The next game by those who created mortgage fraud- and freeloading RE enterprise.

Let's take every politician in American and clean out their closests...both dems and rep, how many rep's do you think would make a "bad boy" list of their own.

"Government has coddled, accepted, and ignored white-collar crime for too long," he testified. "It is time the nation woke up and realized that it's not the armed robbers or drug dealers who cause the most economic harm, it's the white collar criminals living in the most expensive homes who have the most impressive resumes who harm us the most. They steal our pensions, bankrupt our companies, and destroy thousands of jobs, ruining countless lives."

Yes, I know you have so much to be proud on in your party--

Rick Perry's vaccine executive order --"all teenage girls should be vaccinated against HPV", even when it's been clinically proven that males transfer the virus. If it ever was enforced would he dare round up the entire football team and give them a shot? Doubtful.

Sarah Palin -- Katie Couric interview disaster: What is your experience in foreign policy. Palin: "I can see Russia from my kitchen window....".

I can see the moon from my kitchen window. Does that make me an astronaut?

She also failed to disclose that she called the chief of the ASP and tried to have her brother-in-law fired over a domestic dispute w/her sister.

Next--

Bush, Sr. & Jr., Cheney -- Their criminal acts against humanity are far to long and detailed to name, but lets' start off with a few-- ENRON, Haliburton, C- Group, false flag on 911 which began the war in Iraq. The grandfather was selling arms to the Nazi's so I guess this must be a family thing. Putting in dictators when they serve a purpose, mostly monetary gain, natural resources (oil of Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan natural gas pipeline, etc.). Hiring Bin Laden to fight the Russians in Afghanistan (later blamed for atrocities of 911)Syrian dictator--..my my, one day we are best buddies, next day, we take you out...

Reagan....same as Bush, except he may have more in common with Scotty boy. At least "Dutch" got to Hollywood.

Under current events...

A cruise ship recently hit an object just off Martha's Vineyard. At first it was thought to be an uncharted undersea rock, but it was found to be one of Ted Kennedy's old cars.

Earnie--

If Liz puts a stop to the Wall Street madness, she's got my vote for every election going forward.

Why don't they teach credit card 101 in middle school? Ever wonder why the best classes are always taught at the most expensive schools? There are far to many people who do not know the pitfalls. Many ethical lawyers share, (yes, there are some), "they were suppose to be professionals, what they did was a crime". Yes, a crime which continues to be held unaccountable. For the pure fact that litigation is another one of those very lucrative games--...."how many lawyers you got and can you go the distance? I got more than you.....ha,ha, better luck next time". Which quote could be from US AG, which is from WS? Take a guess. That's what rides these decisions and no one wants to get into multi-million dollar lawsuits when an investment firm can just play a shell game with one loan predator and sell their toxic waste to another--suddenly the pending lawsuits simply vanish overnight. Can you guess which investment firm is--last one standing and bald-bug-eyed, best friend of treasury is your second. When they foreclosed on the homes it was done illegally, but judges around the nation were sitting with hands tied. Details were not allowed to be heard at the statehouse during one hearing--judges voice of protest were ignored. MERS was created to steal millions of homes electronically. Foreclosures were given back to banks not sold to first time buyers as promised.

Earnie--

Leo Damore wrote "Senatorial Privilege". No one disputes it was his car and she was found inside. Damore was one of the best writers (his death apparent suicide) provided extensive details. Another book, "A very private woman", I have yet to finish, stared by Damore, completed by another author. But one thing I have concluded--the Kennedy's had plenty of enemies who didn't want Ted to run as president. It's quite possible he was in the car and was also drunk, panicked and left the scene to get help and passed out. Who knows? Who would tell? Especially during that era. The "Boiler Room Girls" were all there at the party and supposedly there was another woman in the front seat. Some believe Mary Jo was in the back seat asleep, left the party earlier and went to the car. But all I know is that when Marilyn Munroe was found with a bottle of sleeping pills....this was #3, so something was definitely wrong with this picture. I guess the only good advice for any intern or mistress--stay away.

Joe Sr. made his money in bootlegging. We know what cast of characters that brings along, then he was stuck with them into the days when his son was running for president. What I don't get is why the boys turned against dad's benefactor in Chicago. Marilyn should have known better.

Protagoras,

I disagree based on what businesses and the elite have acquired in Bush Tax breaks which have been extended to what appears to be a 99 year contract.

If a business is accepting federal money I am sure they have rules about layoffs. Many are also committing fraud when they do not disclose how many employees they are laying off--staggered, secretive layoffs should be counted as whole. These tactics are done intentionally and systematically to avoid detection, also to the press. When Harvard mentioned their layoffs some years ago, the number stated 275. But the actual number of people who lost their jobs was much higher--possibly into the thousands. I have a friend who works in one of their departments who shared this bit of news with me, so that is how I know. He also said they were forcing people to retire before the age of 65, which we all know would cut their benefits. In other cases, incentive packages were offered, some taken, in others, people were told their jobs were "eliminated". The worse part of this story is that after people were shown the door, replacements showed up for work--over qualified, younger workers, some relatives of those who could influence HR. When they talk about the probation department and all its nepotism and cronyism--they should also investigate corporations under the guise of education, but don't hold your breath. The media only likes to go after what they know they can win.

I know now why unions were formed.

Protagoras,

There are many ways to kill people--how about abject poverty? There was no proof he intentionally left her to die and that is what you are insinuating. It can happen to anyone. How many people die on the road by careless error? I bet if we looked hard enough, thousands have their own tragic story to tell. When you are using this story because you hate democrats--you lose all credibility. I believe the Republican's are going to keep people in debt, jobless and barely surviving until they eventually die of a weakened immunity system due to sheer exhaustion and hopelessness. How about the billion worldwide who have no means of supporting themselves or their families due to what was done by WS? When you strip away food, shelter and healthcare from working class, it is same as a bullet to their head. When is the next Spa coke/hooker party in Aspen totaling $400k/w $14k bar tabs? I see those tax dollars you all cry about are hard at work.

How many will die due to their negligence, fraud and embezzlement?

I see this as a far worse crime, but because there is no visible dead bodies, they will never be held accountable for their actions.

AIG held congressional pensions, btw, and I'm sure there are politicians who rely on their campaign contributions. No hard choices are ever easy, but when we see so much callous behavior toward humanity then greed takes over, there is simply no excuse. These are the true monsters of our society, right next to Hitler & Stalin.

She lives in the right town in the right state... why move to Venezuela when you have all the government benefits right in Somerville, plus the time to rant on a blog?

Reverend E. Raleigh Pimperton III

Like your land of Ozzie and Harriett is so perfect. For the exception of a few enlightened souls on this thread, the rest are hopelessly misguided by a prankster who failed in his position only to prove he was not a man of the people. Frankly, he didn't have the backbone for the job and refused to make tough decisions because he didn't want to upset his benefactors in the Rep Party who got him elected. Eventually, everyone else could see through his facade. People of honor, intelligence and dignity, generally care about the working class. That is not what Brown stands for--he tries to profess importance. Those who are important are not always looking for the camera man. They are hard at work in their offices writing legislature which helps the people of their constituency.

S. America and Europe have many positives, but those who are too closed minded would never truly understand that way of life. I've been to Europe 4 times visiting family and have family in Mexico, (dad worked for the US govt) one friend recently moved to Uruguay and loves it. I hope to travel to all one day and remain 3-6 months a year since I still have family here.

Enjoy the dull enclaves of suburbia where things are simply not what they appear to be. Our home values are just as high and when the car breaks down, we still have a way to get to work.

I wouldn't worry too much about your good buddy Scott--I'm sure if there is a free ride somewhere, he's bound to catch it and he might remember you.

Remembering ole Teddy K.
If you needed something a nice donation and a 4 finger pour of Chivas got you at least a late night sit down...Not a promise, but a sit down.
The liberal Lion was the ultimate predator.
When it came down to extending Teds life a few more weeks, he wrote to the Pope for a break.
Teddy was what he was, but as I mentioned to the girl before, heroes are human and naturally tainted.
Elections are so rigged only the despicable can manage through the process.
That's why Brown was so appealing. It took a huge ton of money and a massive smear campaign to slow him down and get the phonies back in.
I have seen nothing nor heard anything of significance from house flipper Liz.. Where as Colonel Brown hit the ground running all the while under the scrutiny scope.
What a paradox.
I would rather hire the first person I met at Walmart HQ Bentonville AK then another go along to get along Massachusetts Democrat.
Surprisingly and continuing along with paradox .

C'mon everyone hell with the politics get out and catch the sun it awesome outside. Who cares about politics there all the same. Greedy lil Scammers.

Definitely NO! When Deval leaves we need someone that can raise our taxes even more and spend even us deeper in debt!

Hey Guys,

I see the Scott Clown fan club is still at it. Don't you have some hobbies like bowling, golf or gin rummy, to pass the time?

Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing--I told you I have a job. It's somewhere in this thread about 10-12, I LOVE SCOTT THE CLOWN, entries ago. If you bothered to pay attention, you will notice my posts are in the evening and on the weekends. I do not post all the time, but it appears some of you do.

I have a full time job--not Tuesday's and Wednesday's 1-4, and not bankers hours, and plenty of benefits.

Did I mention the new job pays more money than the previous? So that means I pay more in taxes....hello!

People who succeed in business will tell you that it's not a good idea to accept a 60% cut in salary when you are looking for a job. Those interviewing you will think you have no confidence in your abilities so why should they think you are a good catch if YOU don't? That's the way it is in the real world.

I don't know what world you guys are living in. It seems to be a cross between Mayberry RFD and The Honeymooners--too many Barney Fife's, Jackie Gleason's and not enough Carey Grant's.

I have enjoyed Diana's great sense of humor...that's about it.

Killins’s abrupt resignation was first reported by the Boston Herald. The newspaper previously reported that Secretary of Education Matthew Malone was investigating her enrollment in the superintendent training program in Ware, which has taken her away from her official duties in her nearly $200,000-per-year state job.

Hyperbole. Hyperbole. Hyperbole. Rant. Rant. Rant.

The other guy is stupid, wrong, evil, bad, or my favorites; "low information voter," libtard, repugnican, moon bat, flea bagger, ...

Nobody can stop and think for a minute. Maybe the person you've been arguing with might have made a valid point, but you're so focused on what's wrong with him or her you can't acknowledge you might have been wrong at some point.

Then the attacks get very personal. Who works. Who doesn't. Who understands what life is really like. Who doesn't.

Good grief. Take a run. Have a nice glass of iced tea, water, wine ... whatever. Enjoy a nice meal. Walk a dog. Just take a walk. Breathe in the nice fresh air. Spring is coming.

Stop shouting. You're never going to change anyone's mind on a Patch thread.

Nothing's perfect. Nobody's perfect. You aren't ALWAYS right.

I take a look at the little sidebar that shows the comments on the homepage and I notice it's always the same people making snarky comments and hurling insults at each other. This is the least productive form of discussion I've ever seen. It's like drunk Thanksgiving dinner every day.

Brownies,

Brown is a lightweight and ran as poor a campaign as Coakley did, arguably worse. He held the office, couldn't run on his record and let his knuckle-draggers push the Native Am. and Harvard stories. He didn't have the brains or intestinal fortitude to call them off even when it was clear it was hurting him.

Keep flogging the native american meme and throw in a Kennedy shot once in awhile. Just remember to bring it along for reading material as you and the state GOP wander around in the Political wilderness blaming everyone but the responsible parties. A little piece of advice, forget the compass and bring a mirror. You'll find your way home faster.

Diana,
The fact is we don't know if it hurt him or helped him. If you supported EW you did not care and it made no difference to you. If you supported Brown, you perhaps thought about it and moved on. I can only speak for myself. I thought he made too big a deal about it and should have figured out right away that most people were not going to change their minds based upon that issue. I can not speak for anyone else but I did not support her for many reasons and that is not the most important one by far. She has just started, we will see how effective she is over the 6 years she serves. The state is a Dem state and the fact that he won once was more a reflection on Coakley and her really bad campaign and less about him. When the state returns people like Tierney that says it all. I do not think that EW winning was really an upset.

Elizabeth Warren is a pathological liar. She lied about her heritage to get to Harvard (if it was true, why did she switch from Native American to White after being offered tenure?), she lied about her family circumstance, as struggling, when they were upper middle class, she lied about being the first nursing mother to take the bar exam, she was found to have plagiarized the work of others in a published book, and lied by ommission when she neglected to mention that she was not licensed to practice law in MA when she practiced law in MA. Had she come out and admitted to any of this it would have gone away, but her continued lies and stonewalling only exacerbated the problem. Were it not for the media ignoring it, she would not have been considered a serious candidate.

Remember that time people went on the internet and commented on a political article, and their comments related to actualy policy positions and how they would affect the state/country? Yeah, me neither.

Is this a time warp? Are people really speaking about whether or not Elizabeth Warren is Native American? Who cares? There is a budget sequester, unclear policy on the use of drones and several wars raging around the world. Get real, people.

Ron,

Liberals aren't required to be intellectually honest... the end justifies the means. For instance, none of them want to hear about Elizabeth Warren's Indian episode, even though it was exposed in part by their Boston Globe.

Move along, nothing to see here folks. Conservatives are held to a higher standard, of course.

Reverend E. Raleigh Pimperton III

"Dave Schmirer, a social studies teacher there, remembers Brown’s visit well. Schmirer had planned a series of debates for his and another civics class on the issue of gay marriage. He needed a speaker who opposed it and invited Brown. During the lecture, Brown drew the parallel that having him speak against gay marriage was like having a black student speak for Metco. “Don’t you agree?” he said, settling his gaze on one such student. Brown had no idea if that student was in Metco. (It turns out he was.) But the comment unsettled Schmirer. “It wasn’t racist,” he says. It just lacked a certain sensibility, a sensitivity, even.

In the next civics class, things got worse. Brown wondered aloud if Metco students had been brought to Wayland High as a potential boon to the athletics program. Now Schmirer wasn’t the only one who felt unsettled. Students, too, found the comments inappropriate, Schmirer says. They asked Schmirer to bring Brown back to explain himself. Brown returned about a week later.

He didn’t really know why he needed to return, despite Schmirer having spoken with the senator’s staff about this visit. So, even if Brown’s staff hadn’t relayed Schmirer’s message that the students wanted an explanation, Brown himself had failed to see the impact his comments had had on others. He’d walked out of Wayland High one week earlier without regret. “It was like [the incident] hadn’t registered,” Schmirer says".

Lord knows... what we need now from our politicians is sensibility and sensitivity. Somerville must have plenty of that, even without Brown. No worry though, Warren will make up any deficit.

Here is the entire laundry list of the Scott Brown's 10 most memorable moments:

Hey can anyone find the letter from one of his former opponents who outlined more of his inappropriate remarks and temper tantrums? It's on BlueMass, but can't recall which it was--Cheryl Jacques or Jo Ann Sprague. What I can recall was --a teacher of his daughters received several or more voice mails screaming at her about the fact they didn't get the grades they deserved.

Second, was a guy from his town who tried to say, "Hi Scott", and his eminence shouted back, "That is Representative Brown to you".

Maybe Howie Carr could use that line on his good pal, he's definitely the poster boy for, "Don't you know who I am"? I think most of us do know, but not sure he does, maybe he's still trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up.

I can understand why he and Romney are such close friends--they are both clueless about what issues effect the people they tried so desperately to represent--you know that diverse crowd they rather believe does not exist.

This must have made Scott proud--shows exactly the type of voter he attracts.

Tell me again why WS is our best friend....."Sheila Bair.. chair of the (FDIC).. one of the first federal regulators to publicly sound the alarm about the collapse three years ago..sat next to (SEC) chair Mary Schapiro, the first woman to hold that post and the deciding vote to initiate the agency's recent lawsuit against Goldman Sachs...Elizabeth Warren, chair of the panel bird-dogging the (TARP) bank bailout and the chief advocate for new consumer-finance regulations that banks and their allies have spent millions to oppose. Suddenly, something else became clear: these women may not run Wall Street, but in this new era, they are telling Wall Street how to clean up its act".

"Supervising big banks when they break the law....Elizabeth Warren Wants To Know If The Banksters Are Too Big For Trial"

http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2013/02/elizabeth-warren-wants-to-know-if.html

"When was the last time you took a WS bank to trial"?
"Too big to fail, has become too big for trial"

Senator Warren was a threat to Wall Street Thuggery and their best friend, Scott Brown couldn't pull it off.

Just as Eliot Spitzer found out what happens when you try to go after the Teflon Dons of WS, you might end up in the back of your limo and the entire world finding out about it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/09/eliot-spitzer-wall-street-libor_n_1655260.html YOU WERE SAYING....?

Too bad your boy Scott didn't get elected. Maybe that is because the people have spoken--you know, that majority who lost 300,000 jobs, healthcare, homes, savings, pension, all because of the greed on Wall Street, who Brown supported.
That is the main reason he lost, because the working class of this state are tired of the Republican Party who cater to only the rich and keep their blinders on for everyone else--single mothers, people of color, immigrants who want to become U.S. citizens and can't, but the banks are happy to take their money, too. "You want a green card? Well, first, you will have to work for $5hr, no benefits, no healthcare. If you get hurt on the job--tough break, no workers comp for you. But I will reap the huge profits off your sweat and your pain. Sue me in court for wages I don't pay--good luck. Your deportation will be waiting....."

Don't forget the Gays--we know how he and his Republican's feel about them, too.

Maybe you guys can find out where all the tax evasions are located in the Caymans and USB. Open your own account--then you too can be rich one day. From what I here, the feds are still trying to gain access and get those stolen taxes for our cliffhanger.

BM's right hand man was met with a tragic end--he ran into the midnight pool man, collapsed-heart attack. Must have been something in the chlorine. Was suppose to face a judge in 2 days for swindling billions from clients. Hospital icon was perplexed about 400% profits.

I don't think Liz should have to do anything until little timmy geithner pay's back what he owes....afterall, he use to be in charge of the largest investment firm that is responsible for most of this mess the country is in and our AG has already sued them for $50 million. I guess she is wrong, too!

Well, if that's the case, why not call Wall Street and Scott Brown tomorrow and tell them you would like to help WS and company in their potential mega-lawsuit of the century. Donate your homes, savings, pension plans--hell, toss in a few golf bags. You never know, they might need them when Liz is done cleaning up their mess. They may have to give up all their stolen assets.....

Life is funny like that. One day you are on top of the world--the next......

gn--work tomorrow! I don't have it so easy like you fella's....you get to blog all day.

Where were all these great watchdoggies back in 1998?
When all this could have been prevented by some of the same people who now are so concerned. Where?>
Making beaucoup inside dollars that's Where...
If you remember, or chose to blot it out, "W" ran and won in 2000 on the Clinton chaos run amok with that derivative debacle BS. It is still affecting the economy. Endorsed by many of the heroes mentioned by the Girl.

Of course the present is now historic smoke.
Use the media to flip this mess on Bush, WS, the Pope, the wars, Congress, the weird guy down the street, the Boy Scouts or anyone they can demonize other than themselves.
Distract that the sky is falling and old white guys are racist, and...
After the horsies are out of the barn, run on them, win and make it worse. Then re-blame.
Try to be as hip as possible and promise everything. even if you have to empty the treasury. Re-blame some more.
Then convince the assuaged prone and destitute that they are the only ones that can fix it? Even Hollywood was impressed with that act.
Send out the clowns, old Barney F & Chris D team for a puppet show?
Everyone of those guys are now super wealthy somewhere else.
If I hear one more time that a liberal Democrat can fix anything...Never mind that's why conservatives fix cars and why I'm an Independent.

Bill Clinton now joins Alan Greenspan in admitting his contribution to the credit crisis.

Your friend Georgie reads fairy tales to second graders while towering infernos remains a work of fiction. Little George was the one who promoted homes for all, got that ball rolling. Next, U.S. jobs went exit stage right to the under-developed nations who are making pennies on our monopoly money while they read from script. Scrap the training, see the profits soar. It was a deliberate act of systematic, financial collapse so that one predatory, ruling body will rule over the rest. I know it's hard to take, but while we all sat watching in horror on 9/11, did we think then all this would happen since?

SomervilleGirl, it is all political show. Elizabeth Warren is deliberately asking the right questions ..... to the wrong people.

http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/03/elizabeth-warrens-banking-committee-methodology-ask-questions-of-the-wrong-witnesses/

And then there is this: some Warren supporters are actually trying to rewrite history on Wikipedia.

http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/03/the-incredible-shrinking-elizabeth-warren-wikipedia-cherokee-native-american-entry/

So what would you do...Girl? Do the emotional stand up stomp panic and scream thing? Hike the corporate tax so not even our home built companies stay home? NAFTA?
I think your pointing at the wrong guys there big time...Before the towers fell the Clints etc shoveled the spies behind the curtains, Hillary was using Generals as bus boys and Bubba was being Bubba with women. Gas was 1.80 per until 2008.
It began with Bubba no doubt about it everyone had a blast...His BS bluffs worked up until the end. Great golfers your heroes but as leaders...Not so good.

Hey Ron that was a solid and accurate linkola, thanks. Short and to the point reporting..
Unfortunately it's official we are led by weenie noncombatants, we are screwed.

The truly scary part is how the Progressiviks are trying to erase history on Wikipedia. Tyler tells me that what is true is false. We have seen this in world history before. It does not turn out well.

That is why progressive is a misnomer, designed to disquise the real intent. Progress is not their goal. Liberalism remains an accurate descriptor.

It's getting a little dicey in downtown Washingmachine DC for the big O. Lot of Hairy eyeballs all of a sudden...No one is invited by the house anymore...

Remember when I wrote here that the Affordable Care Act hurts Massachusetts more than it helps it because we already have universal healthcare and all that is left to do is drive up everyone's costs? Not to brag or anything, but I was right.
