During a political debate last week in Massachusetts, the Democratic Senate candidates were informed that Sen. Scott Brown—the incumbent and their potential future opponent—paid for law school by posing nude and were then asked how they paid for college. Frontrunner Elizabeth Warren quipped: "Well, I kept my clothes on." A couple days later, during a radio interview, Scott Brown was asked to respond Warren's comment. His two-word reply: "Thank God." Ouch.

In case you need a refresher: Scott Brown, currently a Republican senator from Massachusetts, was named America's Sexiest Man by Cosmo back in 1982. The then-22-year-old law student graced a centerfold wearing not much more than a broad smile...and, as last week's kerfluffle proves, people still can't stop talking about it.

After hearing Sen. Brown's comment—which he later said was a joke—we asked our Facebook fans and Twitter followers if they thought he went too far. One reader wrote, "He is entitled to his comments no matter how stupid they are. Let's just ignore them." Another reader pointed out, "She took a dig at him first, if she can dish it out she should be able to take it." Want to weigh in on this debate du jour?
