Here is a video of Scott Brown mentioning his model for an excellent Supreme Court Justice.
How come Clarence Thomas doesn’t get the respect he deserves?
That said, now you have another reason not to vote for Scott Brown for Senator. There will be Supreme court vacancies in the 6 year tenure of the next Senator from Massachusetts. I know I’d much rather have Elizabeth Warren voting on these choices instead of Scott Brown.
Apparently the rest of the world went to a different debate from the one that Sharon and I saw. I guess it turned out much better than the one we saw (at least half of) by sitting in some place that we thought was the Tsongas Center in Lowell. Coincidentally, there were 5,000 in the audience where we were, too.
If you have not seen the debate, at least the first 33 minutes of it, don’t bother. Just take Andy Hiller’s word for how it turned out.
If you saw the movie The Fighter about the boxer Mickey Ward from Lowell and you saw the endorsement of Elizabeth Warren from a coach at the gym where Ward learned to box and continued to train, then maybe you come away with an understanding of the Warren strategy. According to the movie, Ward won a lot of fights by just standing there and taking such a terrific beating that his opponents wore themselves out delivering the beating. When Ward delivered the knockout punch, they had no energy left to defend themselves.
Well, I have seen Warren take beating after beating. I am just hoping that Brown is wearing himself out so that he won’t be ready when she finally punches back.
I suppose I am like most of the people portrayed in the movie who thought Ward was nuts to use this strategy, but it all worked out in the end. Here is hoping life follows art.
NECN had coverage of the pre-debate festivities in Lowell in the article Brown, Warren supporters convene in Lowell, Mass.
Steve Greenberg, a Warren supporter from Sturbridge, Mass. said, “I hope they get back onto the issues and not the silly side show, but I don’t know, but I think Elizabeth will be prepared to handle anything that gets thrown her way.”
They left out the part where I told them that Elizabeth Warren predicted exactly how the housing bubble would burst several years before it happened. I told them that she understands how this all happened far better than Scott Brown ever would. They chose to leave that out and instead quoted a person who said that she didn’t think Elizabeth Warren understands the middle class.
As proof of Elizabeth Warren’s understanding the middle class, read her book The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Parents are Going Broke by Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi (Aug 17, 2004) .
If you are in the middle class and read this book you will find out information on how you got into the predicament you are in that you might never have seen expressed quite so well.
As the debate turned out, I am embarrassed by my remarks that did make it on air.
