Scott BROWN RUNS AWAY!!! Hilarious!!!!!!!!

http://wonkette.com/563756/scott-brown-flees-pumpkin-festival-ahead-of-bloody-riot


It’s The Great Pumpkin Riot, Scott Brown






Now that he’s running for Senate in New Hampshire, former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown is totally A Guy From New Hampshire who would never miss the New Hampshirest of all possible events, the Pumpkin Festival in Keene. Even though this folksy college town was a powder keg of white rage just waiting to explode into pumpkin-splattered violence. While Scott was connecting with law-abiding harvest revelers, mobs of angry white youth wreaked havoc just around the corner.

Tear gas filled the air as police in riot gear descended on Keene, New Hampshire, trying to disperse a rowdy crowd that brought chaos to the city’s 24th annual Pumpkin Festival… CNN affiliates reported dozens of arrests and the Southwest New Hampshire Mutual Aid Dispatch Center reported multiple ambulances being sent to the scene.




High on love for pumpkins and saturated in a few metric tons of alcohol, these thugs kept police busy all day and night as they tipped over dumpsters, pulled street signs out of the ground, and flipped cars. By 10:00, bonfires were burning in the street, and the governor had shown up to take charge of “the situation.”



....Scott Brown evidently escaped the wilding white mob altogether, more concerned with his own safety and photo-ops than with showing True Leadership. As students were rioting all around him, injuring each other with bottles of Bud Light, Brown, with his gift for youth outreach, could have waded in and played peacemaker, transforming himself overnight into an inter-generational statesman. Instead, he seemed oblivious to the palpable and growing anger of the community toward the cops. And pumpkins.

...getting away from the riot was his best course of action. It's not like the rioters would have responded to any attempts at mediation or leadership, not even if he was a sitting senator.

With that said, Vote For Shaheen!

Pumpkin Festival when there's a riot goin' on right up the street!

You'd think the best bet would be to just tip out of there quietly, not tweet about it!

Maybe his destiny is to be like Forrest Gump, only his specialty is New Hampshire Disasters. Appropriate, since he qualifies as one....

Also, he's constantly using the Failure To Lead meme in his ads, and he likes to tell everyone how HE will lead with all that reserve time he did on the weekends under his belt!

All that millionaire money isn't good for his Naked Senator image...

He looks like he's in his 2nd trimester in this pic:



Is that his liver poking out there, or what?

Either he just boosted a pumpkin, or Mitch McConnell is going to be a father again.

PS - I really miss the opportunity to vote against him again.
