Massachusetts Senator (and former "nice guy") Scott Brown does not condone his top staffers war-whooping and tomahawk-chopping like a bunch of vulgar Atlanta fans, and so he has given them "their one and only warning." He means it this time, or they will get a time out!
Given the context in which she claimed Native ancestry, it was not in any way inappropriate for her to do so on a genuinely held, if undocumented, belief at that time (the 80s and 90s). Demands for documentation are either ignorant of, or counting on the audience&#039;s ignorance of, the history of tribal enrollment vs. ancestry vs. eligibility for citizenship of the Federally recognized tribes, which is complex, to say the least. Just the fact that she&#039;s from Oklahoma <em>should</em> be enough to satisfy any reasonable person of the likelihood she has some Native blood.
The asbestos stuff is just standard Rovian smears, with about as much honest representation of the facts as you&#039;d expect (none at all). Brown&#039;s just another lying goober sleazeball.
Those women and children at Wounded Knee shouldn&#039;t have rudely jumped in front of the Cavalry&#039;s guns.
Now I&#039;m wondering if my parents were lying to me about my great-grandmother Anna Nelson being from Norway.

Me know how. Want know when.
That&#039;s right Scottie. And here are a few more that should take your sage advice:
Nazis <i>and</i> Jews Spanish Inquisitors <i>and</i> heretics Slaveowners <i>and</i> slaves
Kryst, what an asshole.
&quot;Stop hitting yourself, Liz.

what has brown done for YOU lately.
What a Masshole.
oh and please tell me this tool is losing?
Well played, Sir, well played.
That Mandan is acting like a Caddo! He should be forced to eat Crow, take a hit of Mescalero, or drink some of that Kickapoo joy juice.
Want some Modoc?
So when a Cairo embassy flack makes an uncleared statement, it&#039;s Obama&#039;s fault, but some Brown shits are not his responsibility?
GO TO MY ROOM, ELIZABETH!!
