Case clothed: Scott Brown quip hits below belt

By Hillary Chabot
Friday, October 7, 2011 - Updated 5 hours ago
  
U.S. Sen. Scott Brown launched into attack mode yesterday against Democratic front-runner Elizabeth Warren, but ended up shooting himself in the foot with a misfired zinger that even some conservatives are calling a “Biden-level faux pas” — a reference to the notoriously gaffe-prone vice president.

“Thank God,” Brown retorted on WZLX radio yesterday morning, in response to Warren’s joke Tuesday that in paying for college, “Well, I kept my clothes on,” a poke at Brown’s much-mocked 1982 spread in Cosmopolitan.

The Republican senator’s offensive follows Warren’s strong performance in Tuesday’s UMass-Lowell/Boston Herald Democratic primary debate.

Two things -- the first being that I have no problem commenting when one of our own mess up, I don't think he did.  This was funny.   She opened the door for the slap down, and got what she deserved.  I am not offended by this at all.   It is a simple fact that Warren NEVER would have been asked to take her clothes off for a magazine.    Brown was.    That is the point here.  

Secondly, I watched that train wreck of a debate between the socialists and communists.   What a group of misfits that was.   Warren doing "strongly" (which I guess has been defined as saying the words "middle class" about 100 times) is not exactly anything I would consider an accomplishment.

I agree, she set herself up for the smackdown when she brought up his past pictures.  I've seen pictures of her, and I second Scott's opinion.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

BTW, I don't see a problem with what he said. Where's the gaffe?

The comments are mostly in favor of Brown.  Crap-assed "journalism" from the Herald, that's not like them. The article doesn't even make sense - just a Brown hit piece.

I agree - very odd.

I'm up in MA.  Heard it on the radio.  I cracked up.  Scott Brown's delivery is very good.  It sounds like the locals here.  She sounds like an outsider (no accent/intonation/speaks too slowly/too pc).  I believe he'll do fine.
