Sigh....

I hate to say it, but Joanie Vennochi raises a legitimate question about our Junior Senator in her column in today's Globe....


"In light of his sexual abuse revelation, why did he (Scott Brown) back Jeff Perry?"


Perry a GOP stalwart and 2010 candidate for congress was once a police officer down the Cape who essentially did nothing while an underling improperly strip searched a teenaged girl.
Well, you could have heard the women's vote howling like Valkyries from the top of Falcon Ridge in Menotomy.
But of course on his long road to disaster Perry was endorsed by Junior Senator Scott Brown, late in the campaign waa-ay down on the Cape, but still Scott did his best to blow on those embers to no avail.
My own view is, that Scott Brown like all successful politicians has a blatantly forensic type mentality, he is all about how much he stands to gain, how much he can get away with.
That is his normal condition...
So maybe just maybe banging the pots for a sleazebag like Perry awakened certain thoughts and memories in the mind of Former State Senator Brown.
The whole weight of the situation might not have hit Brown until he was well over the Sagamore Bridge.
That at least is the charitable construction Humble Elias is gonna put on the whole matter...At least until otherwise noted.
Child abuse does happen, custom, law and the police are the three tiered fire wall that are supposed to defend children in the final extremity, sad to say, then and now that barrier is awfully undependable.

Anyway this is all about personalities and right now I'm more interested in what sort of a platform the democrats will nail together for the 2012 senate race.
