The Left’s Palinization of the Brown family

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 21, 2010 02:17 PM

What is it with the Left’s obsession over conservative women and swimsuits?

The trash bloggers of the far Left are eagerly digging up “dirt” on the wife and daughters of the GOP Sen.-elect from Massachusetts.

Call it the Palinization of the Browns.

The Huffington Post just sent out a blast e-mail advertising a music video that Brown’s wife, Gail Huff, appeared in from 1984.

Yeah, 1984.

Big freaking deal.

And they’re trafficking a perfectly innocuous photo of Brown and his daughters in swim wear on a family vacation.

Again, I repeat: Big freaking deal.

The nutroots-ers don’t need to photoshop Brown’s wife and daughters’ heads onto swimsuits like they’ve done with other prominent Republican women. (See here for my experience with the unhinged bikini photoshoppers.)

They all looked naturally fabulous in their bikinis.

You go, girls.

    Chap,

    Scott Brown did not “put up” pictures of his daughters or wife. HuffPo did.

    Well, actually one of the daughters put it up on facebook.

    But whatever. I think the whole “Scott Brown naked in Cosmo” is one thing. Not bad, but certainly at least gossipy newsworthy.

    But that awful awful 80s video and the picture with his daughters is not.

    The Left has this caricature of conservatives as a bunch of uber-prudes who would recoil at the sight of a woman in a bikini or be horrified at the sight of a guy posing for Cosmo. Or they want to paint all Republicans as “hypocrites” for not living like the Taliban, because they assume that’s what Republicans support.

    Scott Brown seems to have a nice looking family. One daughter in med school, and one doing a good job singing the STAR SPANGLED BANNER in Boston. And doing a fair job on American Idol.
    ***
    I don’t think either of these girls needs any help in finding a good novio. And as far as the “democRAT” / liberal / socialist / statist / marxist / communist AMERICAN PRAVDA press and media-they should all be sent to the beach with Helen Thomas in a bikini! Or maybe with Rosa Krebs from the old James Bond movie–they do like commie and liberal girls–Ne Ce Pas?

    I believe it’s a giant squid found in the Gulf of California, but I was struck by the remarkable resemblence to Ms Thomas – less the 20 foot tentacles, of course. Helen’s tentacles are only 8 feet.

    I can think of worse reasons. :-D

    On the subject of beefcake photos and 1980′s era music videos, here’s a quote from a Boston Globe article from last November:

    As students, Brown and Huff were models and actors in television commercials. They met at a state regulatory board, where they were attempting to recoup fees from agents who had stiffed them.

    So what’s the problem? As I see it, they were simply working for a living, paying their own way as they earned their educations, and fighting greed and corruption.

    That’s not a bad beginning – plus they were [and are] a fine looking couple. ;-)

    This is all that the HuffPo nitwits have. I mean, do people even take them seriously? They’re just like Air America with a bigger bankroll.

    It’s easier to photoshop and marginalize the opposition (Conservative) than engage them and take them seriously. That would be too hard and tough on their brain cells.

    It IS innocuous, which leads me to believe the earthy, hippie-chick, pie-wagons at the HuffPo are just jealous of two good looking ladies.

    Looks like the usual Democrat two step.

    Step one – denounce the Republicans for being “the American Taliban”.

    Step two – notice that Republicans sure don’t act like the Taliban, and exclaim “See, not only are they like the Taliban, but they’re hypocrites too!”

    Those are tentacles? Didn’t we use to call them jowls? Or did you mean the other? But then swimsuit–Helen is in the Arab-American Hall of Shame in Dearborn. She is also among the Ten Most Eligible at E-HotArabChicks.com.

    Between Botox Nancy and swimsuit–Helen I can see why the Left resents EVERYTHING.

    But seriously the liberal model woman is Pelosi, an unattractive psychotic BI~~CH from H~LL on a massive power trip, replace her with any of the Brown ladies and C-Span’s ratings will go through the roof. Replace Pelosi with a honest person and most people would cheer.

    I apologize to all the psychotic BI~~CHes from H~LL for demeaning and degrading you by including Pelosi in your group. It is hard with my limited vocabulary to find a good description for what Pelosi is…
