Scott Brown creates shrine to Ted Kennedy

It may be “the people’s seat,” but as far as U.S. Sen. Scott Brown is concerned, it’s Kennedy’s office.

Brown - a GOP superstar who vowed to remain a maverick on Capitol Hill - is symbolically crossing the aisle to honor the late liberal icon Edward M. Kennedy with a shrine in his former office, which was assigned to Brown by the Senate leadership.

While Brown famously said in a campaign debate that “it isn’t the Kennedy seat . . . it’s the people’s seat,” he also expressed awe at Kennedy’s accomplishments earlier this year. He said one of his “favorite shots” of Kennedy would be a part of the memorial - a picture of the Senate stalwart conducting the Boston Pops.

“When constituents come to Washington, they are interested in the history and legacy of this office. So, I dedicated a wall in our conference room to the former occupant - Sen. Kennedy,” Brown told the Herald.

Just mark the spot in the cemetary with a sign that says PEE HERE!

Is he going to pray to Ted and sorship him, too?

The Scott Brown that was portrayed in news stories may have never really existed. But I believed, so when the real Scott Brown stands up with his ragtag concoction of political rationale and agenda - I am truly disappointed - but fully except responsibility for believing in the first place!

Pretty much it. When you are a US Senator you represent your state, good, bad, ugly, beautiful ~ whatever.

Massachusetts' special burden is the Kennedy family ~

Now you go to New York and it's Elliot Spitzer.

Finally figured out that one BTW. As New York AG and then as Governor, it was his job to protect Wall Street from the law. Then he got into difficulties with a bunch of hookers.

All makes sense.

Looks like MeCain passed his Maverick trophy off to Brown.

Who’s going to earn it next?

I’ll bet Lindsay is green with envy... and on Earth Day no less.

Brown is a pandering scumbag who will likely be the next Lincoln Chafee, Jim Jeffords, Arlen Specter...

Fortunately, he’ll be gone in two years.

You don’t pee all over your base and then expect them to be enthusiastic the next time around. Brown will end up just another footnote in the list of pandering hacks who ran like scared bunny rabbits from the liberal press and thought that running to “the center” would attract some of the losers, parasites, and goofballs who comprise the Democrat party base. That never happens.

Geeze, I wish people would put up a warning a few posts in advance of posting the Ted Kennedy plays Moby Dick photo!

How many shocks can a psyche take before imploding!

Agree. It’s a small thing and he does have to work towards keeping dems who supported him in 2012. You can bet that the Rats will field a great candidate to take back the seat.

Yup. I’d say he’s being too clever by half.

In terms of the fat Ted photo, I also added a photo of a fat Buddha shine. It doesn't show now. Maybe it is filtered for copy write or something.
