Scott Brown has no idea what he is doing. None. The problem is this: He did not anticipate being a US Senator! Here is his actual answer to the question of whether Obama’s administration has communication issues: “No, listen, when I spoke to the president, we had a lot of laughs, and I told him he has to keep his sense of humor. Even in my acceptance speech, I joked around because, you know, I’m a regular guy. I have a sense of humor. That’s one of the things that insulates me from a lot of the negativity.” Talking! It is Scott Brown’s Chappaquiddick.

Here’s more of this same response:

So, you know, I agree with him on a few things. I think he’s done a great job with North Korea and Iran and the war in Afghanistan. I thought he’s done a very nice job. The simple fact that he had the guts to step back, analyze the situation and then make a determination that we need to finish the job and provide the tools and resources for our soldiers to do just that, that was great. So, you know, the health care bill, which you’re probably thinking about, for Massachusetts, it was not good. To think of paying higher taxes and have a half trillion in cuts and basically desensitizing places like Nebraska, when we already have 98 percent of our people insured, we have a very good plan, it didn’t make sense.

Eh. Should have just ended it after the bit about the having a sense of humor.

Wow, he and Sarah Palin should not meet. Any conversation between them is sure to destroy the English language forever. Also.

Needs more “also.” Maybe a “you betcha” or two.

Nebraska is going to be desensitized? Huh?

My God, it’s Sarah Palin, albeit with a smaller penis.

JMP January 21, 2010 at 11:28 am

Brown should learn that, as a Republican, it’s treason to say anything nice about Obama; he must attack the President for having a policy on Iran & N. Korea other than “bomb ‘em”.

Luckily for him, talking (and spelling) was also Martha Coakley’s Chappaquiddick in Massachusettes.

Some of these words do not mean what you think they mean, Farmer Brown.

“Desensitizing Nebraska” = making Ben Nelson wear two condoms.

[re=498608]the problem child[/re]: What is so hard for you to understand. It’s going to be desensitized, alright? And that’s it. Do you get it now?

And if the Wonkette editors are listening, I’m kinda tired of seeing this guy’s hairy pussy. So if you have any ass shots..

Prommie January 21, 2010 at 11:31 am

OK, silly me, I thought it was about the substance of what he was saying, you see, he said good things about Obama’s policies, I thought that was what was shocking. Umm, yeah, pretty inarticulate, too, but the real reason he should never meet Sarah is that if he were to say things like this in her presence, she’d have to kill him for being a commie nazi traitor.

Desensitizing Nebraska? Does the healthcare bill require the whole state be dosed with a local anesthetic?

Oh hell to the no January 21, 2010 at 11:36 am

Can we talk about how all the liberals have to stop giving money to Haiti because we need to spend that money countering rich ass companies’ grassroot teabagging ad campaigns? Thanks, Supreme Court!

SayItWithWookies January 21, 2010 at 11:40 am

And as a result of publishing Brown’s random rambling idiocy, Politico’s commenters are now (if I can decipher their barely literate typing) are now accusing that rag of being a liberal front. Hopefully they’ll all be calling him a RINO before he even gets seated.

JMP January 21, 2010 at 11:40 am

This is great news; I see room for compromise with the new Republican leadership. Pelosi and Reed should whip their caucuses into action, thusly:

1) Resensitize Nebraska
2) Offer future resensitization of any other state, as needed
3) Keep everything else in the bill

Send off to Barry O for signing.

“…desensitizing places like Nebraska”? Did the Nebraskians not like the Camaro deal I proposed? (Which, as I recall, included a backup Camaro in case of DUI crashes). But I agree, the first thing we need to do is come up with a cure for word salad, forget the uninsured.

What made my ears prick up was that thing about a half trillion dollars getting cut from Medicare. That’s an absurd statement that has no grounding in reality. I guess the only reason no one asked him to clarify it was because he has so many apparent problems using words in the first place.

One Yield Regular January 21, 2010 at 12:27 pm

Nebraska’s already desensitized enough. 10 days ago, when the wind chill factor had pushed the temperature to 40 below, a friend in Lincoln saw someone (probably Ben Nelson) riding a BICYCLE through the snow.

Norbert January 21, 2010 at 12:27 pm

Not 100% sure what he means here, but if he is suggesting sanitizing Nebraska, then I’m willing to hear him out.

Guppy06 January 21, 2010 at 12:33 pm

The man’s got a point. Last I heard, the current version of HRC throws money at states that haven’t done anything about their piss-poor Medicaid coverage while doing nothing for states that have actually done something productive years before.

“No new taxes!” has consistently meant “tax the blue states instead!” Electing a Republican may be the only way these donor states are able to find somebody with actual balls to represent their interests, namely the interest of not having to fund the habitual stupidity of NE, SC, MS, AK and a dozen others.

So wait, somewhere in there the lesson is that the reason he is going to torpedo the health plan is because he wants to preserve Taxachusetts socialist health care system, where people get to pay for care out of a pool of money raised through Taxachusation. Shorter Scott Brown: “Needs moar single payer…”

Is he also aware that he said nice things about the half-Negro? Or did he say those things simply to fuel his rehearsed “falling out” with Glenn Beck so that people won’t think they are totally fucking?
