From Wikipedia.Scott Brown sent out a fantastical email to his supporters yesterday claiming that “the Massachusetts political machine,” a homogeneous entity, is recruiting Rachel Maddow to run against him. According to The Daily Beast, Brown’s “evidence appears to rest on a message sent out by Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman John Walsh on Twitter the same day a Facebook page supporting a Maddow bid went live. ‘Some are talking about you running vs. Scott Brown in ‘12,’ Walsh tweeted, and the Boston blog Universal Hub suggested the message could have been meant for Maddow.” It was this Tweet that engendered Brown’s ill-timed money-grubbing phantasmagoria. “Some like Rachel Maddow. I’m sure she’s a nice person—I just don’t think America can afford her liberal politics,” he wrote in the offending email.Except, of course, Rachel Maddow has no plans to replace Scott Brown as replacement Ted Kennedy. Watch as she refutes the rumors on last night’s Rachel Maddow Show, in a segment entitled “Seriously, Scott Brown? Seriously?”
