Tuesday Night Video – Scott Brown Reveals His Tea Party Self, Tries To Take It Back

David Gregory asks Scott Brown to name his model Supreme Court Justice. Brown, caught in the lights, tries to delay — “That’s a great question” — before naming right-wing zealot Antonin Scalia. Crowd boos. Brown starts adding every Supreme Court Justice he can think of, refusing to answer that “great question.”

Perhaps I’m overly sensitive, but I’m bothered by David Gregory’s love of bantering with Brown. Gregory seems unconcerned with truly getting to the issues, and more in love of being part of the game. He’s known for that, of course, as best seen in how he danced with Karl Rove at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2007.

Scott Brown: A Royal Flop

Sen. Scott Brown has been ridiculed for claiming to have met with royalty, and, yes, that’s funny, but even less senatorial is the complete lack of specificity in what he said. When someone accuses you of not getting serious work done, isn’t the most effective rebuttal to point to, I don’t know… an accomplishment? Shouldn’t someone who’s been working on serious issues be able to name one?

Each and every day that I’ve been a United States senator, I’ve been discussing issues, meeting on issues, in secret meetings and with kings and queens and prime ministers and business leaders and military leaders, talking, voting, working on issues every single day.

Sen. Scott Brown on radio’s Jim Braude and Margery Eagan Show

“I’ve been meeting with queens and with kings
Every day on the job, pulling strings.
As a senator, I’m
Working hard all the time
On big issues and… issues and… things.”
