Obama Takes Over Wall Street, Scotty B. Serves As Broker: The Finale

See here for the preliminary, and here for the coup de grace.

I'll let Monty do the honors:

Scott Brown, R-MA, breaks our hearts with his roguish smile and his vote for FinReg, but mostly with his vote for FinReg. Repeat after me, kids: this was bound to happen. Scott Brown is like the Two Ladies from Maine in that he is only "conservative" in the sense of not being a gibbering Leftist howler-monkey. In any other area of the country, he'd be a mainline Democrat; in Massachusetts, he's what passes for a Republican. I knew this was the price we'd pay for getting a GOP candidate elected in Mass. (to Saint Teddy's seat, no less!), and I still think it was a good trade. He'll vote with us more than he'll vote against us, and that's good enough for me. (You can almost convince yourself that the dirk between your ribs doesn't hurt a bit....)
