Idiot of the Week (5/21)
Sen. Harry Reid leads his eunuch pawn Scott Brown through Congress
In a move so stupid that I had to write about it twice, Scott Brown’s (R, MA) surrender on Financial Reform makes him the Red Dog Idiot of the Week.
Now it is one thing to cave when the actual residents of your state pressure you to change your vote in their best interest, but in this instance, Scott Brown was duped by the White House.
This from the Daily Caller:
So why did Brown buckle, after voting to uphold the filibuster on Wednesday? For starters, he received 3,000 phone calls to his office over the last week, all of them by supporters of Organizing for America, the apparatus that sprung out of President Obama’s campaign for the White House that is now housed inside the Democratic National Committee.
These AstroTurf phone calls, in addition to Harry Reid calling Scott Brown a liar and the President’s repeated “bully pulpit” rants about Republican obstruction, left Brown with only one choice; to sycophantically reach out for Reid and Obama’s approval by way of absolute surrender.
Because he caved to phony pressure; Scott Brown is the Red Dog Idiot of the Week.
It’s great to see the minority party standing strong to defend the Wall Street Bankers and railing against TARP. (Bush’s TARP).
The cognitive dissonance must be rattling your craniums to the point of causing concussive brain damage.

Yikes! That comment really scared me. 4 or 5 more years of concussive brain damage and we might all become Democrats.
Nah, I’ll never be that stupid.
Great choice, I am afraid that Brown isn’t going to be what we had hoped for …too much Boston air.
