Liz Warren’s jabs get under Scott Brown’s skin

I don't usually give much credence to the Boston Herald, but it seems even they can't spin this to favor Brown.

When Elizabeth Warren forced Scott Brown to come out with this gem, “I want to protect the job creators who are getting up in the middle of the night and creating jobs ...” I began to think Mickey Ward’s trainer, Art Ramalho, got it right.

I mean, who’s getting up in the middle of the night and creating jobs? The guy who makes the doughnuts? Those “kings and queens” Scott’s been on the phone with? The State Department honchos who allegedly showed Scott the bin Laden death photos?

The petite “professor,” as Brown likes to call her, showed last night that she can certainly go toe-to-toe with Sen. Barn Jacket. She knows how to punch and counter punch.

How many times did Scott Brown let us know that “I live in a house full of women.” Ah, too many times, as Warren calmly stood there and peppered Brown with his vote for the Blunt amendment and against equal pay for women.

4. I just watched the debate, and I agree with you, patrice.

Warren stuck to the issues and kept hitting Brown on his voting record. He is obviously not used to being challenged so forcefully and with so many facts. He was annoying to listen to after a while. He was defensive. People who are easily annoyed are the most annoying people.

I think Warren's got this one. Are there more debates coming between these two?

17. Great! She will use more facts and he will use ONLY Chamber of Commerce et al "facts", which will

give her a really good edge, because her information will be more valid and reliable. Plus, not everyone in the business community is all that happy with "the Chamber".

If Scott Brown was a superhero, his special power would be RaceVision. He can just look at someone and determine his or her family history and heritage.

Apparently he can just look at Elizabeth Warren and determine her ancestry.

I like this review..

To paraphrase the high priest of TV, Marshall McLuhan, Elizabeth Warren was cool, as opposed to a simmering, way too hot Scott Brown. Clearly, the Harvard professor got under our colonel’s skin.

Scottie wasn’t simply trying to beat Elizabeth Warren. At times, it looked as if he wanted to flog her to death with his stack of papers. “She’s obsessed with taxes.” As if he isn’t.


It seems the majority thought Elizabeth Warren won her first debate against the Insulting Scott Brown.. whom, Barney Frank said..

Disappointed with silly snark from Scott Brown. "And you couldn’t get him to say 'Mitt Romney' with a subpoena!"


Was Scotty so flumfloxed 'cause Harry Reid cancelled the Senate Vote to make sure Scott would get to Boston to debate?

14. He really seemed like a sleazebag to me.

I thought he was supposed to be some cool moderate, but he came across as an irritating watered-down teabilly with gritted teeth. Mean and kinda stupid.

She, however, has a major brain. And a soul. And a conscience.

He seemed to act just like a popular kid who won the school election, and is now being challenged by an actual person. He appeared to be simpering at times, really a nasty little monkey. And a liar.

I guess I had just never seen him in action. What an ass.
