US Tea Party Senator Scott Brown Pulls A Rabbit Out Of His Ass.
IDear RWL @ USMB, I told you so.
I remember people here saying Scott Brown was some kind of regular guy who represents the new way of doing things in America. Scott Brown represented change?
IDear RWL @ USMB, I told you so.
One conservatives reaction, at least. First, the setup:
Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), the Tea Party hero who gave Republicans their 41-59 victory over ObamaCare KennedyCare, voted yes on President Obamas jobs bill.
That would be the mega-spending bill that wont actually create any jobs.
According to CBS News, conservatives are really ticked off. They quote Michelle Malkin:
Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin chastised the Republicans who joined the Dems to end debate on the phony jobs boondoggle that even the Associated Press points out will create a puny number of jobs. Those, Republicans, she added, included, Yes, sigh, Scott Brown.
Malkin does go on, later in her post, to criticize Brown and to publicize the angry reaction on Browns Facebook page. But she also said:
Looks like he hasnt taken up my suggested D.C. itinerary. But those of us who knew all along what we were getting a game-changer who vowed to torpedo Demcare, but who was not an ideological conservative are not surprised. And I pointed out Browns moderate record several times on Fox and on this blog during the campaign.
Indeed, we did know that. And if we didnt, Malkin provided us a link to her earlier post.
CBS missed all that, I guess.
They did point out Allahpundit, who gave Brown a little space:
No crying. We knew this day would come. Scott Brown votes for Obama’s “jobs” bill, CBS mischaracterizes conservative reaction The TrogloPundit
