Sell newspapers?!? Funny. I don’t know anyone who buys newspapers.

“Let me assure you that he is dead, that bin Laden is dead — I have seen the photos,” said Brown.

Asked directly if the pictures, which have been described as bloody and gruesome, should be made available for everyone, Brown responded: “If it’s to sell newspapers or just have a news cycle story, no, I don’t think they should be released.

It's so nice to have an elite who will take on the responsibility of seeing things like this and deciding if they're safe enough for the rest of us. After all, those of us who choose to be productive members of society instead of "public service" parasites living off tax dollars need our betters to shield our dim intellects and tender sensitivities from things that we can't handle.

The other half of the government playing nanny is us being treated like children.

Yep, I sent that two faced prick a couple of bucks when he was in the heat of the race, and now every couple of months I get another mailer from him.

I'd send flowers to ol' teddy's grave before I'd give scott brown another penny.
