Earlier this week Brown posted a video and put out a press release which he humorously called himself Amazing.
Let’s get past how obnoxious it is to call yourself amazing for one minute and lets instead focus on the importance of the topic Brown and his campaign wanted to bring to our attention. The campaign’s press release was about a jobs bill, no a position that he wanted to discuss, wait, shooting a basketball from half court.
Nailed it! Scott lifting his arms in the air and the children joining in after an “amazing” shot! Even though some sports bloggers might have thought otherwise (link not for work).
Well, as it turns out, the Brown campaign staged the entire video.
The video seemed to lead you to believe that Brown hit the short with his only attempt. Glen Johnson at the Globe found out that Brown repeatedly took the shot until he finally made one, they edited the video to make it appear the way it did.
It’s amazing alright, amazingly pathetic.

this really can have appeal.
Not only is Scott Brown a normal guy, like you and me, but he has outstanding athletic prowess. He has non-“elitist” qualifications.
Mark L. Bail says
these things tend to get around and spread fast when they do. Brown is accumulating a demonstrable record of phoniness. Partly because he’s a phony, and partly because his campaign managers can be pretty ham-fisted.

So I guess he is a regular guy. Though I bet I could pass a jobs bill on the first try.

…really? Underhanded halfcourt shot? That’s kinda pathetic actually.

If he gets one out of thirty two in, that’s enough to claim he made the shot, unless you are insinuating that he’s not qualified to be Senator because he only got one out five shots in. Anyone who suggests getting 1 out of 5 shots in means he is unqualified is ignorant and wrong.
Bob Neer says
Because that is the number of degrees of idiocy at which his campaign comes to a complete frozen halt?

Because Elizabeth Warren is 1/32 Cherokee….
Get used to seeing the number, a lot.
