Senator Scott Brown attacks Obama on the Middle East
Says not to undermine Israel - which, of course, no one is doing - and says that we can't dictate Middle East peace, which again no one thought we could. (But this does come from the Senator best known for posing for Cosmo.)

I like the first comment that was so much better than anything I could write:
"Sometimes, Sen. Brown it it better to remain silent and be thought a lightweight than to speak and absolutely prove it!"

2. True
But he helps MA win the prize for the biggest gap between what their two Senators know on foreign policy - and any other issue.

3. I hear his approval ratings are sky high, too. Why are MA voters so stupid?
They've given the nation Romney, and now this centerfold bimbo. So much for MA liberals. Sigh.

4. MA voters are no more stupid than any other ones
Our local media are head over heals in love with Brown and you would be hard pressed to find anything but fawning coverage of him. There has yet to be a single critical piece of reporting done, be it the Globe, the local TV news, and forget about the Herald. Unless every voter in MA takes it upon him- or herself to be proactive when it comes to information gathering, and the majority of all voters are not, then they have no reason to dislike Brown. If coverage is to be believed, he is a man of the people, and independent thinker, and always in front of the issues.

6. We have a few good ones getting ready to run
Scott seems popular, but he stays under the radar. If he has to debate someone, he may show his true colors.

7. Well, 11 out of 12 Democrats in the Congressional delegation, Gov, Lt Gov, AG, treasurer, auditor
all dems.

I wished voters in all states were as stupid as in MA, the ocuntry would certainly be better off.

This said, Brown's rating are barely superior to Deval Patrick, who is supposedly not that popular in MA. But the media prefer to repeat the meme he is so popular and people choose to believe that.
