GOP Senator Scott Brown channels Scrooge: blocks unemployment benefits, then throws swanky party

[rug]

Anybody with a bit of Scrooge or the Grinch in them should head on up to Boston Thursday night for the "Christmas & Holiday Party with Senator Brown."

It's a must-do, don't-miss event for anybody with a stony heart who otherwise has little opportunity to go out during the season of tiresome cheer and goodwill.

Scott Brown is of course the new senator from Massachusetts whose decisive vote on Tuesday kept Congress from extending unemployment benefits that will now run out for 2 million Americans during the holiday season. And that is not counting their kids.

Ted Kennedy will never seem more dead than when his successor follows this monumental callousness with a big holiday bash at the Park Plaza Hotel.

A new survey of Massachusetts from Public Policy Polling (D) finds Republican Sen. Scott Brown, who won a tremendous upset victory in last January's special election to succeed the late Democratic icon Ted Kennedy, to be in good shape heading into his 2012 re-election bid.

Brown is in front of a number of hypothetical Democratic opponents. He leads Rep. Mike Capuano, who had previously lost the Democratic primary in that special election, by 52%-36%. Brown leads Rep. Stephen Lynch by 49%-30%, leads Rep. Ed Markey by 49%-39%, and leads Gov. Deval Patrick by 49%-42%. In addition, Brown leads Vicki Kennedy, the widow of Ted Kennedy, by 48%-41%.

Brown's approval rating is 53%, to only 29% disapproval.
