Now that the Faux Populism that got Scott Brown is subsiding and voters are expressing more and more remorse, the wing-nuts seem poised to intimidate the new neo-liberal senator to stand with them as obstructists, or face the wrath of the Faux-news echo-chamber...
Scott Brown's startling victory in the high-stakes Massachusetts Senate race was celebrated by conservatives everywhere, with one notable exception: Influential Fox News host, Glenn Beck, who seized on Brown's acceptance speech, in which he introduced his 19- and 21-year-old daughters as "available" to their evident embarrassment. Slamming the Senator-elect as a "creepy" dad who was "pimping" out his girls, Beck also noted that Brown had posed nearly nude for Cosmopolitan magazine in the 80s. Are these "embarrassing" details — followed swiftly by lurid media reports about Brown's wife — a warning that Brown is unfit for office, or is Beck just stirring the pot?
Brown's speech was certainly disturbing: The Senator-elect's remarks about his daughters were "weird" and "gross," says Anna North at Jezebel, especially when you consider his history of "sexist" conduct. Brown recently, for example, refused to condemn violently sexual and obscene comments that one of his supporters made about Martha Coakley, Brown's Democratic rival. Face it: We all know that Brown would have spoken differently "if he'd had sons."
"All the single ladies"
