Is That Scott Brown or Goose?

Scott Brown joined fellow Senator John McCain in Arizona for some mavericky campaigning Friday to make McCain seem more conservative than either of them probably really are. Yes, a man who is now in his first month as a Senator has to bail out the most celebritized - made it up - Senator in the country. McCain compared Brown to Sarah Palin, apparently without bursting out laughing which is always a crowd pleaser. He also panned the lack of fiscal discipline in Congress by saying D.C. is “spending money like a drunken sailor, and the bar is still open.’’ As a current member of Congress, and a former Naval aviator with a slight reckless streak as a young man, McCain is really just insulting himself. Brown was himself: National Guard, Ayla, the truck, etc. Brwn should stop using the word "chicanery" while campaigning. Big words are elitist. [Boston Globe]
