What TRULY baffles me about this line of attack by Scott Brown is that there is nobody who has ever studied or worked with Elizabeth Warren who has anything but the most glowing things to say about the experience. She is proven to be immensely talented, widely sought after, and her class is considered one of the most popular at Harvard Law.

Since none of us have yet to hear anyone say anything bad about her as a professor (though I’m confident the Brown campaign could dredge up someone somehow), this attempted swiftboating will fall apart. Though the strategy of trying to undermine her greatest strength may appear like a good one, it’s silly to on the one hand call her “elite” and on the other try to claim she doesn’t deserve everything that has come to her.

Brown can’t even read a job app since he has never held a private sector job. He is a product of the taxpayer dole and all that “waste, fraud and abuse.”

From her bio at the head of the linked article:

Megan McArdle is a senior editor for The Atlantic who writes about business and economics. She has worked at three start-ups, a consulting firm, an investment bank, a disaster recovery firm at Ground Zero, and The Economist. She is currently on leave.

Of course he’s “holding out.” You don’t see him drafting such a bill and recruiting bi-partisan support, which would require actual work and maybe even some leadership ability.

The intensity of your vocabulary also suggests your desperation: “white knights”; “beleagured sinking woman”; “engaged in a sham”; “goodbye group hug.”

And here I am talking about you guys winning more arguments. Sheesh! Maybe you should try crossing your arms and stamping your foot. Mean looks and angry sighs can also help when you’ve got nothing legitimate to say.

Happy days.
