Wow. Scott Brown really is a GOP dick. On the day he's campaigning with Rudy Giuliani, we learn about Brown's slap to 9/11 rescue workers, just a month after the attacks. Via Greg Sargent:
One month after the September 11th attacks, Scott Brown was one of only three Massachusetts State Representatives to vote against a bill to provide financial assistance to Red Cross workers who had volunteered with 9/11 recovery efforts, we’ve learned.Um, I don't seem to remember any other politician crying poverty in the weeks after 9/11. And, the vote was 148 - 3. Brown was one of those three. Classy guy. He'd fit right in with Tom Coburn, Jim DeMint and David Vitter. He can't win on Tuesday.
The Brown campaign acknowledged the vote to us, claiming the measure would have taxed already-strained state finances.
