LOL...doomed to be bit by moose...

LOL. So true.

Why did your post bring up a vision of the wattles around McCain’s neck are actually upper foreskin?

Oh dear God, if Sarah had a photo like that with Willow and Bristol in circulation, she would be cast as the madame from Wasillia in a NY minute.

Scott Brown would be much better off if he were a little more circumspect in his comments to the MSM. Stuff you say on film has a way of coming back to bite you in the rear unless you are BHO.

I don’t know what to say to this. Brown needs to be more careful what he says to media, that’s for sure! But he is new to the media attention, perhaps he needs some advice from a former Republican VP candidate?

You are way too kind. He's just getting warmed up. An ego the size of a mountain, and the wrong, wrong, views "on life." Men like this are a dime a dozen when you're twenty years old. After a couple of decades most of them grow up. How long will it take for a publication to ask him to pose nude again? And will he accept?

As an aside, this sentence jumped out at me:

The skit depicted Democratic heavyweights Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and others dreaming of Brown's beefcake body instead of getting to work salvaging stalled health care reforms.

"Others"?? Why not just say Barney Frank?

"If I hadn't done that ... I never would have been sitting here with you,"

You shouldn't have done it, Scott.

He even said he wouldn't be against his own daughters posing nude.

Nothing like having dad pimp for you.

We.Are.So.Screwed.

Hmm, he said he would leave up to their discretion, which doesn’t mean the same as saying ‘he wouldn’t mind’. I wonder if he actually said he wouldn’t mind if they posed nude.
Having done it himself, he couldn’t very well tell them not to do it. I could just hear the argument, ‘but dad,you did it, you’re just being a hypocrite’.

Of course. Since man has evolved out of the need for the backbone, I guess we're being dogmatic to expect anything in the way of convictions (read: leadership) from fathers and self-styled political leaders.

"Oh, dearest, it's up to you if you want to sell your soul or not -- I wouldn't dream of interfering with your choice."

Then, too, is the more obvious take on his comments: "Now that I'm famous, my daughter can namer her price. What a great dad I am."

I see. So you're of the school that says, nobody who has ever done anything stupid has any moral authority to tell anyone else they ought not do something stupid.

It's hard enough living in a world where people think like that. I can at least take comfort that I'm not a fellow traveller.
