Scott Brown Apologizes For Accusing Widow of Cancer Victim in Warren Ad of Being an Actor
Source: Crooksandliars.com
Anyone who has watched a loved one die of cancer knows how awful it is. A person with an operating sense of empathy would feel for these people and their grief and ongoing sense of loss. But then there's Scott Brown:
Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) sunk to a new low when he suggested at a campaign stop that the family members of asbestos victims who were in a campaign commercial for Elizabeth Warren were actually paid actors:
During a question and answer session, one firefighter commented that both campaigns are publishing advertisements featuring family members of victims of asbestos-related illness. He asked Brown how Warren gets the victims' family members to go on her commercial. "A lot of them are paid," Brown said. "We hear that maybe they pay actors. Listen, you can get surrogates and go out and say your thing. We have regular people in our commercials. No one is paid. They are regular folks that reach out to us and say she is full of it."
Guess what? They aren't actors. And they're pretty damn offended too.

One of the ads, titled "Ashamed," features Kingston resident Ginny Jackson, whose husband died of mesothelioma after working at a Quincy shipyard that was filled with asbestos.
Reached through the Warren campaign, Jackson responded to Brown's comments, calling them offensive.
"What Scott Brown said today is so offensive to me and my family after what we went through," Jackson said. "He's sunk to a new low."
Jackson said going through her husband Sam's sickness and death from mesothelioma was one of the most difficult situations she ever endured.
"Sam and I were childhood sweethearts and we had been together since I was 15 years old," Jackson said. "I came forward in this campaign because Massachusetts voters need to know the truth about what Elizabeth Warren did to help families like mine who were affected by asbestos poisoning, rather than Sen. Brown's misleading attacks."

WHAT A DOUCHE

Maybe stretched across the back of his famous Pretty-boy pickup truck?
Hey, I know Martha Coakley screwed up. She got complacent because she thought she had it in the bag, and went on vacation DURING CAMPAIGN SEASON, allowing Pretty-boy to campaign all over everywhere in her absence, and catch up and then pass her. And I have been offended by that ever since. Frankly, I'm just as offended at HER for dropping the ball like that. She didn't just drop the ball, she THREW IT DOWN.
But as a Democrat, as a Catholic Democrat, and yep - still a Kennedy lover, I have to say this - my parents LOVED JFK and I'm old enough to remember some of it. And it just hurts to the core - the very idea that a republi-CON would have taken the Senate seat that Ted Kennedy held for all those years. OR that Massachusetts would have fallen for him and given it to him. WTF??????? I feel the same way about that - that I do about women voting for republi-CONS. There's no good, logical, sensible, rational, ethical, OR moral reason to do so!
my life has been too long sucky with not much funny. Muchas gracias!

I'm telling you again folks, the man who has berated Elizabeth Warren for her lack of Native American features, has had a nose job. Now who's really the deceitful one?
Before nose job.

After nose job:
You can clearly see the bridge is higher and the nose is less bulbous.
