(Hey, it’s me. Ernie. I changed my name last week. Same great taste but without Half Man George Regan using me to get press for his nutty client. Isn’t it funny how Ernie, Jr called his p.r. guy – Half Man – and not one of the many lawyers on retainer when he hasd a problem with Ernie Boch, III being confused with him and thus ruining nhis good name? But anyway, I ain’t here to sell cars for Ernie Boch, Jr on the Auto Mile in Norwood, “come on down!. They pay cash for their cars so their costs are less.” Nor am I here to give free publicity to half Mans’ outfit known as Regan Communications. Find them on the web.)
Okay, Now to more important things…
Hey Senator-elect Brown. You are in The Club dude. The U.S. effin Senate. Jesus-ache-christ. Good for you. BTW, I watched the ‘daughters available thing’ and I thought what made it great was how you and Ariana knuckled touched at the end as if you were sharing a moment that was all about busting her older sisters chops. The whole thing, taken in context, seemed appropriate for a dumb ass dad to do.
But here’s the thing dude. You can keep this freakin job til you die if you wish. I personally would love to see it. You can carve out the role as the moderate (Massachusetts definition of moderate) sometimes left and sometimes right. A moderate Republican that keeps getting elected by his constituents.
So listen up my friend.
1. Lose the pick-up truck. Do not drive down there in the pick-up truck making a scene. Do Not Upstage Fellow Senators!! Besides, you are a U.S. Senator. Our U.S. Senator. You are not a circus coming to town. Act and look like it.
2. Get rid of the barn coat when your wearing a suit and tie. Which should me most of time now. You are U.S. Senator. You are not a model on a photo shoot. (there is an exception – keep reading)
3. Keep most of Kennedy district office people. They are the heart and soul of your re-election. Most don’t care who they work for (some are true believers) they just want to keep their jobs. These people are experienced and highly qualified assembly line workers helping real voters with real problems on a daily basis. Kennedy’s office is one of the best.
4. Your base is the moderate. Independents and Democrats and Republicans. Don’t be fooled. You are benefiting from a moderate revolution. The best thing for you is in a year from now some wacko is on the news saying “I drove all the way from West Virginia to campaign for Scott Brown and now he has abandoned me by voting for…..”
5. Don’t forget what government did for you. The cheese, CEATA job, benefits from joining the guard, etc..
6. Okay, Eric Fehrnstom got his pic with you walking around the capitol the other day. As far as everyone knows he is the man. That part has been done. Now only communicate via phone and just as a courtesy.
This guy is great at getting people elected – like he did for Romney. Then ruining any speck of credibility they had with the voters.
This guy will destroy your credibility.
7. Someone needs to talk to Ayla. What’s this I hear about her third album release date being pushed up til this week and she’ll be on Good Morning America theis week.
We can’t have this. I know she is legit. She was chosen from obscurity and turned into stardom via American Idol. That’s awesome. But all she can do now is lose votes for you and stir up jealousis when she is on TV right now other than for playing hoops.. She’s young. She has a lot going on. Let’s chill it down for awhile.
8. Have Gail volunteer for all the lousy reporting assignments. Early morning house fires in sub zero windy conditions. Stuff like that. People will see her and say, “it must suck being her right now.’ Voters respect that.
9. Arriana, this is for you. The future of the entire free world rests in your hands. You, my friend, are the only real grounded in person in the family. I mean your old man was a Cosmo Centerfold and just got elected to the U.S. Senate. Your mom’s on the news everyday. That ain’t normal. And you’re sister. Holychit.
Arriana, you my dear are Lisa Simpson in a house full of hard working people who hit lotteries in the fame game. You dad maybe the deciding vote in a polarised system. So when you put down the organic chemistry book each night, for our sake, please check in at home and protect the old man from himslf.
10. Finally. Getting back to fashion and the male model thing. Here is what you do for me. Start wearing a soft hat. The circle of life. JFK killed the soft hat in 1961. Who better to bring it back the Senator Scott Brown (R. Massachusetts)?

Will someone run against Martha simply on her prosecutorial record. The prosecutor who refuses to look backwards on wrongful prosecutions. Not just Tookie. There is a good case to be made against her with Tookie the anchor of many many documented anecdotes going back to her D.A.days showing weakness and lack of ability to make decisions other than what is easiest and convenient for prosecutor, not what justice requires.
Man I wish some one would run against Search and Avoid Dan Conley. Now is the time. He has no organization. He is weak. And has lousy record.

The Inside Track had a long quote from a Kennedy biographer last week the really best explained the race and the Kennedy’s. They worked for votes. And always did. I told you guys Deval didn’t get it when he was calling in to his house parties.

How about all those brand new good government fraudos in the House.? Lyda Harkins wants a more open body. What a hypocrite. Except for Brownsberger. He’s a true believer.
dcsurfer says
Now that Kennedy isn’t raising the stakes by putting 90% of his energy and staff into charming people into voting for him, politicians don’t have to outhustle each other for sycophant votes. If all the candidates phoned in to house parties, they could maybe govern a little bit more, they’d know the other candidates were working at their jobs too. I don’t see why we would want them to devote so much time to constantly campaigning.
<
p>I agree about the soft hat, though.
regularjoe says
he wasn’t busy governing. He was not in government at the time he was engaged in full time politics.
<
p>I think Deval Patrick would look funny in a soft hat but who knows unless he tries.
