Scott Brown falls off the wagon [View all]

Scott Brown falls off the wagon

by Joan McCarter

Remember the story of Scott Brown drinking beers with a female reporter joking that if she got drunk enough, maybe he could get her to dance in the back of his pick-up? Remember the date of that story? In case you don't, it was Thursday, April 12. Here's a quick refresher:

The road yesterday took Brown to the Blue Hills Brewery in Canton, where the buttoned-down Wrentham Republican invited this Herald reporter to loosen up and sip brews from small sample cups.

“You can pound those pretty good,” Brown said as he tasted one of the lighter brews. His favorite was a hoppy beer called Red I.P.A.

Which is kind of interesting, not only because it shows what a skeezy guy he can be, but because of what he told a reporter last Friday, April 20.

BOSTON — U.S. Sen. Scott Brown says he's given up drinking throughout his long re-election campaign.

Brown said Friday during an interview on WTKK-FM that he won't be drinking alcohol until the night of the election in November.
Brown said he's not had a beer or any other alcoholic drink since Jan 1, opting instead for soft drinks like Coca-Cola.

Scott Brown is a big, fat liar. Surprise. PolitiFact, get on the case!

WTH? I missed the pickup-truck story. Evidently, so did most of the media.
