Oh Yeah, Harry.
Rats, Harry spoiled it for them.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid interrupted proceedings on the Senate floor to announce there would be no more votes Thursday afternoon because he thinks Republicans were fixing the schedule to allow Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) to use evening votes as an excuse to get out of a debate with Elizabeth Warren.
Honey, Elizabeth Warren would fight a buzzsaw bare handed and give it three turns head start. Scott, she’s gonna whip you so bad your grandchildren will be born shaking.
She’s a lady with brains, class, and manners. She’ll give em back to Scott Brown after she rips them off in the debate.
1Good on Harry. Gaming the system is not to be confused with informing the voters.
2Didn’t the Republicans fight Elizabeth Warren’s appointment to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? Guess they didn’t count on losing a senate seat over it.
3I would suggest that Elizabeth is going to give em hell (sorry mama), but paraphrasing my neighbor down the street, she is just going to tell the truth and Brownie is to think it is hell.
4All she needs to do to beat Mr. Brown is to point at him and say TEA PARTY over and over.
5Top Five Excuses Scott Brown Comes Up With To Avoid Debating Elizabeth Warren:
1. “Queen Elizabeth just called…I gotta take this”
2. “… THURSDAY night? Geez, I thought it was Wednesday night! No wonder nobody was here! Oh well, too bad, huh?”
3. “Didn’t you get my voicemail? I got a stand-in for tonight…Mister Eastwood should be here any minute”
4. “…but Elizabeth promised that Jar-Jar Binks would do all her speaking for her!”
5. “Waddya say, Liz…rock, paper, scissors, I win, we call this whole thing off, OK?”
6Sometimes Harry can be a little prickly, isn’t it wonderful to watch someone cut their just rewards, poor, poor Scotty.
7I’m tellin’ ya, peeps. You heard it here first. Remember that, when it comes true in four years. Dream Ticket, 2016: Elizabeth Warren/Tom Udall. Unbeatable. 🙂
8I just watched the live streaming of this debate. Elizabeth Warren made her points and Scott Brown his. The problem with Brown is that he has a voting record that Warren was able to highlight to her advantage. But I must say that Brown held on pretty well. Warren got a few plugs in for President Obama and her support for his reelection. It was obvious that both of them could probably enjoy a beer together afterwards with no animosity.
9Gotta love Prof Liz. She is EXACTLY what is needed in DC these days. Smack Scotty down with his own stupidity.
These stories remind me of one of my favorite quotes from the late, great, superb Miss Molly Ivins:
“So keep fightin’ for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don’t you forget to have fun doin’ it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin’ ass and celebratin’ the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.”
Send Harry Reid a thank you email.
10Eykis: I’m smiling through tears remembering the “late, great, superb Miss Molly Ivens”. Wouldn’t she have had fun these last few years? I keep scanning the horizon for a reincarnation? I think it may JJ.
11JaneE, I don’t know which debate you watched, but the only points Scott Brown made were:
1) I’m barely a Republican – oops, did I say the “R” word? What I meant was I was voted the 2nd most bipartisan congressman by some random media outlet you’ve never heard of. Oh, and Obama. And Hillary.
2) I couldn’t have possibly voted against women’s issues (even though the Congressional record says I did) because I have a wife and two daughters.
3) She’s not a Native American – just look at ‘er! (and no, that doesn’t make me racist.)
4) She’s a “PROFESSOR.” At HAH-VAHD. Elitist bitch.
5) I can be a total belligerent dick but I wear a barn-coat and drive a truck so that makes me relatable.
