Scott Brown Is in Washington State Today

And it shouldn't be hard to guess who he's here raising money for: Republican Senate hopeful Dino Rossi, whose campaign has lately been saying things like:

Remember, if they can do it Massachusetts, we can certainly do it here!

Rossi's campaign didn't respond to a request for more information about Brown's appearance (I hear it's just a closed-door fundraiser) but in honor of the visit let's consider a few key differences between Rossi and Brown:

One, Brown voted for Wall Street Reform in the U.S. Senate while Rossi has said he wants to repeal the bill.

Two, while working class hero Brown famously drove a pickup truck around Massachusetts during his successful Senate run, the last time I saw real estate investor Rossi getting out a vehicle, it was a hybrid SUV.

And three, this is a younger Dino Rossi...

I'm sure this conversation has already occurred on Slog, but, well, if his wrist can cover the whole kit and caboodle, um, there's probably not much of a caboodle.

Is it possible Republicans have small penises and they spend a lifetime trying to compensate for it?

If they were pretty in their youth, they should be voted for. Patti Murry was not pretty in her youth.

First, @1, there's a crease in the page. Second, @2, that sweater is for the lady when we're watching the sunset and it cools off a little (it's Cosmo in the 70s, what do you expect?).

I wouldn't say Dino was pretty in his youth. Plus his name is Dino, which was the name of my middle school and high school gym teacher who was completely leotarded.

"Remember, if they can do it Massachusetts, we can certainly do it here!"

I think that can also be said about marriage equality.

Patti Murry died?!

I'm still voting for her.

Obama needs to catch Osama! Then the Rep rats will scurry for cover.

@7: And also universal healthcare (which Scott Brown voted FOR while in the MA leg).

Anyone know where this is happening? Is it crashable?
