Mr. Senator!

(From Cosmo online: article)

"Long before he was a politician, the Republican candidate vying for Ted Kennedy’s U.S. Senate seat posed nude for the centerfold of Cosmo. Scott Brown won our “America’s Sexiest Man” contest and appeared in the June 1982 issue. In those days he was a 22-year-old law student at Boston College who was cramming for finals just days before stripping down for our photographer.

“Here at Cosmo we’ve had bachelors go on to be actors, models, and reality show stars, so we’re thrilled that one has gone on to become a politician,” says Kate White, Cosmo’s editor in chief. Obviously we know how to pick ’em. This particular bachelor has always had political ambitions and even admitted to being “a bit of a patriot” when we interviewed him.

Compared to some men in the GOP, this politician looks pretty damn good for his age. We bet he still has an amazing body underneath his suit and tie. There have been plenty of pics of our president running around without his shirt, so now that a precedent has been set, we’re hoping to see Scott shirtless again"

This gem, from the Huffington Post, is a new photo with Mr. Senator Brown and his lovely daughters (who were so keen to "support" their dad and "respond" to his opposition to emergency contraceptive for RAPE victims). What a father, what a man, what a politician.

As we all saw from cosmo, Brown considers himself "a bit of a patriot." Of course we all know what that means. He likes shooting deer, avoiding taxes, driving a truck, and taking away the rights of women across the state. That's what real patriots are all about, right?

And this is the man who was elected to office, Tuesday. I used to be proud to live in Massachusetts. I'm now embarrassed.

WTF Johanna.
