Party Girl and Pretty Boy 2006

Margery Egan has a whole column (subscription required) in today's Herald about how good looking Republican state Senator Scott Brown is. Oh, imagine how beautiful the Republican ticket would be, Egan proclaims, if rumors that Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey wants to pick Brown to succeed her should Governor Romney decline to run for reelection are true. The model/athlete/Adonis is surely what the Massachusetts GOP needs as an antidote to a governor who cares more about image than policy.

Personally, I liked ad exec Will Keyser's response:

"Scott Brown. Who's he? A state senator? A Republican state senator? There are such things?"
Of course, Egan's column is not completely superficial. She mentions that Brown doesn't like sex offenders. A bold stance indeed!
