Swept off our feet (Scott Brown)
Boston Globe ^ | January 20, 2010 | Brian McGrory

Posted on 01/20/2010 9:38:10 AM PST by La Lydia

I’m going to need some Advil and a cold compress, please. I’m the Massachusetts Electorate, and I have what is bar none the absolute worst hangover of my entire voting life...Think, Electorate, think. What did I do?

This much I’m starting to remember. Martha and I walked into the party and everything seemed to be going fine. She wasn’t talking much, but she never really does, and she wasn’t exactly pushing me to bare my soul, either...

And now I’m vaguely recalling that stranger across the room, the one in the barn jacket who kept smiling at me and seemed to know my name. Martha vanished for a while, and - is it bad that I’m saying this? - I didn’t really care. Suddenly, that tall, handsome man was standing at my side doing something that Martha rarely did - offering to pay for drinks, chatting me up, curious what was on my mind...

Scott! That was his name. Lived near the outlet stores. Talked a lot about being smarter with money. I know, not like Martha, who always had some expensive home renovation project up her sleeve.

And then, I remember that time itself seemed to stop...We were on the dance floor, Scott and I, moving to the music, his hands all over my body politic. Everyone was watching, and I mean everyone - fellow partygoers, bartenders, passersby staring in the windows. Look at me, the Massachusetts Electorate, the bellwether of America!

I think I took my shirt off. I think I didn’t care. I remember something about Scott in a pair of Calvin Klein jockey shorts, but it may have been a picture he showed me from his wallet...

Gotta love this. Sweetness and Light says: "This is unreal. And (as the kids say, despite their schools’ best efforts) so geh. And yes, we double checked. Mr. McGrory is purported to be a male."

I read this earlier. You need to put a waring for this story. It was truly the sickest thing I ever read in the Globe.

the amount of lies the globe did about Brown was disgusting and I hope the poeple of MA stop buying that liberal rag.

I suspect this Nancy-boy is the offspring of the late and unlamented ultra-lefty columnist Mary McGrory.

I thought it was pretty funny. Sorry you were offended. But really, this is the most entertaining article the droning, preachy, boring, predictable Globe has published in several years.

You know what would make me feel better, just looking at Senator Browns old Cosmo spread. It does the heart good. He’s still quite a looker.

Did you hear Chrissy Matthews discussing Brown’s masculinity? I think he was gettin’ another tingle and it wasn’t in his leg.

Rush really hit this lame article today for using date rape as a metaphor for Scott Brown’s victory.

What actually happened was that the electorate
woke up with the hangover and their butt hurts
because because they didn’t realize that they
had gotten in to bed with an ideological pervert
until now and they need to be tested for political
STD’s.
