Newly-minted Senator Scott Brown seems to have found a worthy opponent in liberal, popular TV pundit Rachel Maddow. He’s been using her as a foil to fill his Senate warchest. Only trouble is, she’s not running for Senate! Only other trouble is, she’s repeatedly denied it, and now has had to run a full-page ad in her homestate of Massachusetts to assure her neighbors that Scott Brown is not her opponent, merely her Senator.
Via Boston.com:
“I’m running this ad not because I’m running against Scott Brown — I’m not, he made that up — but because he’s the Senator for all of us,” Maddow, a western Massachusetts resident, says in the ad, “and maybe this will make him think twice the next time he wants to smear one of his constituents to raise money out-of-state.”
“In a fundraising email sent out Tuesday, Brown says that “liberal MSNBC anchor” Maddow is being recruited by the “political machine in Massachusetts.”
“I’m sure she’s a nice person — I just don’t think America can afford her liberal politics,” Brown said in the email.”
Call me when the GOP lies stop.
