Scott Brown is a carpetbagger from Massachusetts---not a strong selling point for his intended victims in the Granite State. For the last couple of days he's been bombarding the airwaves with his best attempt to dispute this categorization. What are the two most salient assertions that he makes in his defense you might ask?
1. His dad served at Pease Air Force Base.
My dad served at Otis Air Force Base (I was even born there)---that doesn't make me a Cape Codder.
2. He was born at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
That's great but, anyone who knows anything in NH knows that PNSY is in Kittery, MAINE. We've been fighting over that base for 200 years and we keep losing.
He really must think that we're stupid. I sincerely hope that on Tuesday we collectively show him we're not. I savor the thought of him having to chose some new place to haunt come Wednesday morning having scratched both Massachusetts and New Hampshire off his list.

(50,279 posts)That's almost as funny as Brown's financial statement for the campaign that listed his occupation as "Massachusetts Senator."

(59,504 posts)and then transitioning to what he could do for the state, he has decided to argue that because he lived in NH when he was a toddler AND his parents had lived there before he was born AND he owned a vacation home there - coupled with generations of Browns living there, he really is NH born and bred. Why make a completely stupid -- and unnecessary argument.
He really is a pretty dysfunctional person.

(8,976 posts)Parked his big ass tour bus blocking in a shitload of customers cars so he wouldn't have to walk too far in the rain. He was dressed in a post-halloween "just regular folks" costume. He was nearly as convincing as some of the pirates I saw the night before...
Sigh-at least I figure he'll be gone by next weekend.

Long story short, they were ripping him to shreds over his stupid comments that Mitt Romney would have eliminated any threat of ebola.
Gawd, that guy is such an ass.
