elizabeth Warren is a Harvard law professor who was hired by the president Obama to help set up the new so-called consumer protection agency that comes from the Dodd Frank bill. Obama did not appoint Warren to head the new agency since it was clear that such a nomination would have been voted down in the Senate. Warren is well known for her anti-business positions. She is an uber-liberal who thinks that the way to protect all consumers is to destroy business through regulation. Of course, Warren is now back in Boston and she is running for the senate seat held by Republican Scott Brown.
The other day, there was a debate among the Democrat candidates for that seat. Warren was asked how she paid for college, and she took a swipe at Brown and said that she did not take off her clothes. For those who do not know Brown posed as a Cosmo centerfold decades ago when he was in college in order to help pay tuition. Brown then was asked on the radio about Warren's remark that she did not take off her clothes. Brown said "thank God."
Brown's comment has now become a cause celebre on the left. Brown supposedly denigrated Warren because she is a woman or because she refused to take off her clothes. What complete crap!
The truth is that Warren apparently can dish it out but she cannot take it. It was a low blow and inappropriate for Warren to make the crack about taking off her clothes. Brown's actions 30 years ago have no bearing on his fitness to be a senator, and Warren knows this. Brown's playful response was fully appropriate. Of course, the professional victims are all rushing forward in an attempt to help their buddy Warren.
My guess is that no one in Massachusetts who would ever consider voting for Brown even cares about what he said. Nevertheless, we have to hear about this over and over in the media. I suggest that they give it a rest. If they have to cover a phony story, maybe then can send another reporter to cover Occupy Wall Street.
