— Ace Crowd: "Gas up the truck! Gas up the truck!"
"Forty-one! Forty-one! Forty one!" (looking ahead to forty first GOP vote in Senate)
Brown: "This seat belongs to no party, this is the people's seat!
("People's seat! People's seat!")
I have spoken to Senator Paul Kirk, and he has completed his work as Senator."
("Seat him now! Seat him now!")
"I am ready to go to Washington and begin my work without delay."
Now he's talking about Ted Kennedy. And how his name will always be remembered with respect.
Yeah.
Ted Kennedy's Dream Dies of Chronic Alcoholism and Pissed Off Tea Partiers, But Mostly... Well, It's a Muddle of Both Isn't It?
Respect like that I imagine.
Brown: "I thought it was just me against the machine. But it was us against the machine. Tonight -- you are the machine!"
Hmmm. Both of his daughters are available to date, he says. Damn, he is a good campaigner.
Challenges Obama to a basketball game on phone. Will take his baller daughter Ayla and Obama's best second and play two on two.
"Time to get down to the people's business."
Thanks John Kerry (um), Paul Kirk (um), and Mitt Romney.
("Mitt! Mitt! Mitt! Mitt!")
Wants to say hello to his "new colleague, John McCain."
"The people do not want a trillion-dollar health care bill.... We can do better."
"Prosecutions exist to protect us... Our tax dollars should pay to protect us, not pay their lawyers."
Talks about Democrats not thinking they could lose.
"What happened in Massachusetts can happen all over America."

If this earthquake of monumental proportions can happen in blue Massachusetts, can it also happen to Nancy Pelosi in blue San Francisco?

Palin says don't forget Joe Six-Pack:
Congratulations to the new Senator-elect from Massachusetts! Scott Brown’s victory proves that the desire for real solutions transcends notions of “blue state” and “red state”. Americans agree that we need to hold our politicians accountable and bring common sense to D.C.
Recent elections have taught us that when a party in power loses its way, the American people will hold them accountable at the ballot box. Today under the Democrats, government spending is up nearly 23 percent and unemployment is higher than itÂ’s been in a quarter of a century. For the past year theyÂ’ve built a record of broken promises, fat cat bailouts, closed-door meetings with lobbyists, sweetheart deals for corporate cronies, and midnight votes on weekends for major legislation that wasnÂ’t even read. The good citizens of Massachusetts reminded Democrats not to take them for granted.
Americans cheered for Scott BrownÂ’s underdog campaign because they viewed his candidacy as a vote against the DemocratsÂ’ health care bill. You know that thereÂ’s something wrong with this legislation when opposition to it inspired a Republican victory in a state that currently has no Republicans in Congress and last sent a Republican to the Senate nearly 40 years ago.
Clearly this victory is a bellwether for the big election night ten months from now. In the spirit of bipartisanship, let me offer some advice to the Democrats on how to stem this populist tide. Scrap your current health care bill and start from scratch. We all want true reform, but government mandated insurance is not it. Scott Brown campaigned against this top-down bureaucratic mess. We need common sense solutions like reforming malpractice laws, allowing people to purchase insurance across state lines, giving individual purchasers the same tax benefits as those who get coverage through their employers, and letting small businesses pool together to provide insurance for their employees. Focus your efforts on jobs, not on job-killing legislation. Such a change in approach would show Americans that youÂ’re listening.
My best wishes to Senator-Elect Brown. When you go to Washington, may you never forget the ordinary citizens you met while driving that truck through the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
- Sarah Palin

As a white-haired geezer in Florida, I am proud of my contribution to the Scott Brown campaign. We are all winners in the game of knuckle dragging politics.

Oh, and I meant to add, Monty, may your dreams be filled with moronettes dipping our sweet breasts in luscious goodness.
That is all.

Thou hast set my slacks all afluster, my fair maiden. I shall away to my miserable pallet, while visions of glistening Moronette breasts and the wailing of disappointed liberals form a perfect symphony to carry me to the land of Nod.
Good night, one and all.

Camelot was a fairy tale proffered by the liberal press who needed a story for the American people, all the while having full knowledge of the debauchery, unfaithfulness, scumbaggery, and deceit from the Kennedy family.
Both Camelot and the principal Kennedy's are dead. Good riddance.
Posted by: Fish at January 19, 2010 07:04 PM (EINdG)
Dude, you're drunk. The only guy who COULDN'T pick Brown is Romney.
Brown is good nationally for a hardcore conservative whose bona fides are unquestioned and wants to beef up NE squish support. That ain't Romney.

You left out the "awktaroon" stuff. Best part of the parody.

Which just goes to show you how evil our current media is--trying to perpetuate the fraud and foist Faux Camelot Version 2.0 on us, complete with Blackie-O.

My thoughts exactly. After 12 months of 'real conservative' GARBAGE, it is vastly amusing to see how Scott Brown is the hero of 2010.
The 'real conservatives' could not stop HCR, but a lone RINO from Taxachusetts has slain the beast with but one blow.
I rest my case.

Hey! Whoa, now. It's not X and Y but mostly Y? It's now X and Y but really, well, Z? The world has just gone bonkers. Give us some time to recalibrate, Ace. Tonight's events have us trying to keep up already. Accepting two quick changes of paradigm is a pretty tall task to ask of M&Ms.
