Brown blames the summer intern for the Dole plagiarizing

[WI_DEM]

Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) dismissed questions about how Elizabeth Dole's words "about her childhood ended up being attributed to him on his own website, calling the flap 'a little silly' and a 'gotcha thing' that distracts from substantive issues," the Boston Globe reports.

He then blamed it on a summer intern: "It was a summer intern that put together the site; we corrected it once we found out."

1. In other words he has his summer intern writing his website and bio?

without reading it himself? Either he's lying or he's stupid and lazy.

2. I want to be an intern on Brown's campaign.

I would sneak Hitler quotes into his speeches.

3. put it on the intern?

no such thing as personal responsibility for republicans, no such thing as an apology. gawd i despise the bastards.

5. It's always someone elses fault. Always.

He never takes responsibility for anything.

I want Elizabeth Warren to kick his ass so hard his eyeballs pop out.

11. "personal responsibility" when someone screws up is like "family

values" when someone gets busted with a hooker.

15. Exactly. But Brown has elevated it to an art form.

I'm so sick of hearing the whiny crap about his childhood, etc. in his interviews.

12. Standard Republicon strategery

Republicons just do not do responsibility or integrity.

6. Now they are blaming kids

7. Gee Scott, you rugged, manly he-man individual

Why doncha take a little personal responsibility for your website? Blaming the help seems kind of . . . small.

9. How impressive all around. I couldn't stomach having a boss with his scruples.

I don't believe for one second that the intern would have been that careless or stupid.

10. I expected him to say something like this ...

... and it's about the most damning thing he could say. He had somebody else write his "autobiographical" statement, and couldn't even be bothered to read it.

13. This makes me questions if he actually wrote his own book?

14. The "summer" intern

was responsible for the publication that came out in January (or February)???? In which Massachusetts do you live, Senator?????
