Scott Brown Busy Shaking That Etch-A-Sketch

Scott Brown Busy Shaking That Etch-A-Sketch

Our Republican junior Senator, Scott Brown, has been awfully busy lately shaking that Etch-A-Sketch, hoping Massachusetts voters won’t notice when he contradicts himself or fudges the truth a little (or a lot). Perhaps all that time spent with Eric Fehrnstrom has caused Scott Brown to “catch a case of the Romneys.”

A couple of recent examples have circulated around the media. We all know that Scott Brown has been wrapping himself in the Green Monster, suggesting that his being a Red Sox fan is, according to him apparently, his top qualification for being a U.S. Senator – until we were reminded that he advocated for moving the Red Sox out of Fenway Park and that he took a campaign contribution from the President of the New York Yankees. Brown is just hoping to Etch-A-Sketch away those two strikes against his pro-Red Sox record, but he is behind in the count.

We also know that Scott Brown recently told WTKK 96.9 FM that he “had not touched alcohol since Jan. 1.” This, of course, would require some serious Etch-A-Sketching, since we were all talking about him throwing back a number of beer samples at the Blue Hills Brewery in Canton just a couple of weeks back.

While these are indeed clear examples of shaking the political Etch-A-Sketch, some argue that those two examples aren’t closely related enough to current public policy issues to matter to voters. So Scott Brown obliged us and offered up these additional examples from recent weeks of him shaking the Etch-A-Sketch on serious matters of public policy.

Wait, When Did Scott Brown Learn About Insider Trading in Congress?
