the one who got voted off of American Idol didn’t look like she was minding the spotlight all that much tonight. That said, I would guess Brown was right that he would be in trouble when he got home.

And now onto more serious matters like how much is this flame thrower going to make the Senate an even more screwed up institution that it is already? If nothing else I'm sure he'll be providing us with sound bytes similar to the likes of McCain, Graham, DeMint, McConnell and LIE-berman. Or worse yet his House counterparts like Hoekstra, Boehner, Issa, Bachmann and others. You name them. I'm sure the readers here can come up with better lists than mine. So much for that Senate civility they're always praising. I think it might have just gotten thrown out the window with this guy in there. They pretend Al Franken is bad. I have little doubt we ain't seen nothin' yet when his junior member of the Senate joins the Republicans.

I just hope the people of Massachusetts are happy with themselves for heaping this guy upon us. Don't be surprised if we're hearing buzz about him running for President in 2012. Matthews was already getting a thrill up his leg from Brown's manliness tonight and saying he's Presidential material. Look out Palin, you might have some competition coming.
