Audience Boos Scott Brown For Naming Scalia As ‘Model Justice’

[cal04]

Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) was booed by the audience at the second Massachusetts Senate Debate on Monday evening, after he named conservative Justice Antonin Scalia as his model Supreme Court justice. Upon hearing the crowd’s reaction, he quickly added Justices Anthony Kennedy, Sonia Sotomayor, and Chief Justice John Roberts to his list. “That’s the beauty of being an independent,” Brown quipped.

1. Ouch! That had to hurt.

2. They're not booing, they're yellin' FREEBIRD!

7. No they're saying "boo-urns"!!!

[Marr]

3. David Gregory pathetically laughs along, as if he *didn't* just "name one".

He named one, heard the reaction, and sprinkled in a few others.

4. ... and Warren comes back with "Alena Kagen".

Perfect choice, and she was cheered for her lightning quick reply.

Dumbass Brown was ready to name Scalia as his ideal justice, then decided to cop out by naming several others and claiming he couldn't pick just one, like he was choosing a prom date from a group of starry eyed admirers.

Elizabeth Warren sure could.

13. "Why I like all of them, David"

5. This doesn't make any sense?

How can you tout being an independent when you name model justices who are all incredibly divergent in their jurisprudence. There is really nothing comparable between Scalia and Sotomayor, or Roberts and Sotomayor. It's non-sense white noise attempting to persuade voters into thinking of him not as a Republican but as something else, which he's not- he's a Republican. /facepalm

6. A model justice who stole an election and gave unlimited campaign spending rights.

Yeah he's a role model - who should be doing hard time.

8. He almost had a Palin moment...

"there are plenty of justices up there."

Really Scott, how many are there? A dollar to a donut he doesn't know how many.

9. What? He forgot Thomas and Alito. I guess three out of five conservashits are better than none

as far as his conservative supporters are concerned.

10. They aren't booing. They are yelling Ruuuuuuufus

Rufus Wheeler Peckham served 1896–1909.

[GusFring]

11. LOL. He tried to get the crowd with Sotomayor.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

15. He didn't even know how to pronounce/spell her name (called her "Sotomayer")

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. This guy is such a spineless wimp.

He's even afraid to call himself a republican.

14. We should call him Honey Boo Boo
