Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Wednesday ridiculed outgoing Senator Scott Brown’s call for bipartisanship in Washington and said he is confident that a Democrat could beat Brown in a special election, if Senator John Kerry were to vacate his seat for a Cabinet position.
“I saw during the campaign his plea for bipartisanship. That is a big joke. It’s a travesty,” Reid told reporters. “He was one of the most partisan people that’s ever served here.”

Exactly right..Brown is busy shaking the etch-a-sketch hoping voters don't notice what a liar he is.
Senator Brown underestimates the intelligence of his constituents....we can see the record for ourselves and don't need his spokesperson to spin the data...he is not bipartisan...he is a committed republican..no problem with that...just own up to it senator. Many of us respect that.....and voted otherwise.
What a bunch of BS. He voted against his party when it didn't matter, but when the whip called he fell in line. He disgraced himself and his party during the campaign and slandered his opponent. Good by Scotty.
Can you say Affordable Health Care Act? Do people remember that Brown's number one goal was to scuttle the entire Obama healthcare initiative? Do folks remember, as Reid points out, that Brown could have saved Citizens United? Are we going to forget that Brown only serves to serve his corporate overlords and carry their water?
The pot has spoken.
from the Wrentham Patch: Despite the call for an investigation, Brown was one of 11 Senators to sign a letter from the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacies to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) in July of this year, asking the DEA to change how compounding pharmacies are allowed to distribute controlled drugs. While Brown defended the letter as an example of bipartisanship that is unrelated to this issue, BU law professor Kevin Outterson told WCVB that the letter is an example of something that is often used by industry lobbyists to prevent further regulation and agreed that letters like this deters federal agencies from regulating industries.
