The popular liberal TV host came out swinging on Friday against the new senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown, who has suggested in a fund-raising letter that Maddow will run against him in 2012. “I’m not running against Scott Brown … It’s just not true. Honestly. I swear. No, really,” Maddow said in the Friday’s Boston Globe.Maddow to Brown: Wrong,

And so you would think Senator Brown would issue an immediate apology and certainly refund any and all monies he has raised based on his bogus letter stating she is running against him in 2012.  But as of now, as far as I know, nothing other than more bullcrap from him and his camp.  Remember when he ran for Senator Kennedy’s seat--he was an independent and he would vote his own conscience and according to how his constituents wanted him to vote.  Yeah, and so lots of independent voters in Massachusetts drank the kool-aid and voted for him.  So, first thing he signs a contract to write a book.  A book?  On what??? How his daughter was on American Idol?  About his wife who works for a local tv network?  About his truck?  I mean really, what could be interesting about his life?  He has done nothing so far.  There is no mystery whatsoever about the hows and whys he was elected.  People are hungry for change, he was a fresh face (and it might have helped that he did pose nude back in his 20’s), he promised to be an INDEPENDENT if elected and not blindly follow the party line.  Riiiggggggght.  Did that real well, didn’t he.  He is a sheep in an independent’s clothing. 

The Democrats had Martha Coakley as his opponent.  While she has done an admirable job in Massachusetts, she was about the poorest choice of candidate we could have had.  I am all for more women in politics, but they have to be the right woman--just anyone won’t do and women in Massachusetts do not do real well--on either side of the aisle.  I did not vote for Brown, although I truly hoped he was what he said he was.  I held my nose and voted for Coakley.  And for all of you who do not live here and think Brown is the second coming, let me tell you something--if Michael Capuano had been the Dems candidate, I think you would have seen a totally different result.  Truly.  He would have run circles around Brown and shown him for what he really is....just another empty shirt.  I don’t think he is particularly bright, I think his aw shucks demeanor is a crock of *** and if the right person runs against him in 2012 he will be toast.  He knows it or else would not be already writing a book. 

But this thing with Maddow is insane.  Yes there was a page on FB saying she should run--hell, I even became a fan.  But she never once indicated she would even consider it.  I guess everything in politics is fair game…
