Scott Brown issues a stern warning to his opponents: “Bqhatevwr” By Samuel Knight

Never good to tweet and drink. Or is it just Brown's usual less than articulate speaking abilities?

At 9 p.m. on Friday night, Brown tweeted a simple “Yes. Get ready” — a cryptic message that could have been interpreted as zeal for the salvaged NHL season had it occurred at the same time last week.

Then Brown didn’t necessarily do himself any favors by issuing an impromptu statement aimed at detractors.

“Bqhatevwr,” he tweeted 46 minutes after midnight. As of publication, that was retweeted 1,367 times (his”get ready” tweet was only retweeted 84 times).

A minute later he clarified that he actually meant “Whatever,” then directed a sarcastic barb at a naysayer named Matt.

“Your [sic] brilliant Matt” he exclaimed.

The tweets haven’t been deleted.

He also might run for Governor some day, so that might happen instead.

And then last night something weird happened. Brown tweeted, "Yes. Get ready," before telling his followers he was going to see his daughter perform. (She's a singer.) Some jumped on his "Get ready," order as a confirmation he was joining the Senate race, and started firing off some "Scott Brown, you suck!" level criticisms. Brown wasn't having any of it, though. He decided to tell his critics how he really feels:
