It’s a common joke for Dads to make when they have adult unmarried children. Only a liberal could make it an issue. You should be more concerned about Reid’s Negro comment.

Speaking as a Daddy’s Little Girl, this is hilarious and very typical of any dad that has a good relationship with his daughter. Also, the man that held Brown’s seat prior let a woman drown in his car after he crashed while drunk (I could go on about the many other illegal things our congressmen have done). Are we REALLY worried about Brown showing some skin? For heaven’s sake, it was Cosmo, not Playgirl!

It’s obvious that the writer wasn’t watching those comments live, although it probably would have been only on FoxNews. I was chuckling all day yesterday. The Brown family is going to need a sense of humor. I’m pretty sure he wasn’t a US Senator when he posed nude but, I can promise you that the voters knew about it before Tuesday.

By didnttakelong2 who are you guys? Indenpendents got Brown elected and 20% democrats also voted for him. Obama is a terrible president and people are well aware of his inadequacies. If you have the right to blame bush on the last 8 years than I have the right to blame Obama on a 1.7 million jobs lost, $1.7 trillion debt his first year, ramming through an unwanted health care bill, breaking promises on transparency, reaching across the isle, taxes, this list could go on and on.

“Little” Ayla has been making quite a name for herself, on her own. At 21, she’s an accomplished recording artist and performed on “American Idol”. She is also a 6’0” senior guard on the Boston College women’s basketball team, averaging 7 points per game. She and Arianna have already held a press conference trying to stop negative ads about their father. I don’t think the spotlight bothers her.

Good grief. Nice way to get a negative headline on the website. This family is obviously very tight, and I could see myself saying something like that. Winning wasn’t 100% on his mind, he still had his family and their well-being weighing on him. Nice jab at his pre-political life too; oooo-nudity before he was elected. Thats some bad stuff, nothing like a sitting President who got caught having sex in the big chair.

Go ahead and give props to Ayla. she played basketball against Wright State this season. Not only is she a good hoops player but, she has an extremely fine voice and stage presence. I vote that she sing at the next convention. As far as the nude photo in Cosmo, didn’t see it but, I’ll bet it didn’t “show” anything. Guess it would make as much sense to bring it up now as saying a DDN writer wet their bed or got spanked.

However, if this had been a Democrat who had a nude picture in Cosmo in his past, you all know that the religious conservatives would have had a Field Day with this - all family values and is that proper, etc. This isn’t a bid deal no matter what party this man is in - just remember that in the future the next time this happens to a Democrat.

So I just want to make it clear that now it is okay to have those who have appeared nude (well with a hand for cover) in magazines to be in office and that no side will sling dirt at the other? Is that true from the Tea Party members of this board and the Republicans? Just for future reference.

Burt Reynolds posed nude in Cosmo. You didn’t “see” anything in that picture. So, what is different in this case? Did they have to take the issue off the racks and keep it behind the counter? This was almost 30 years ago ( 1982 ) and, if politicians will held accountable for everything in their past, wonder if there would be anyone left to run. There has been a double standard and the Democrats tried to use it by bringing it up this time, too. The voters were reminded, if they needed reminded about Cosmo.

John Edwards must have wanted his admission to be released because I read it on an MSN news summary ( haven’t seen a tv today ). John Edwards was running for president when he fathered this child but, you are correct, it didn’t influence my vote. I’d have to think that Scott Brown has different views on such things now ( it was 1982 ). The voters will decide if something should be held against a candidate…wish I had the power.

I personally don’t care either way. Be nude, have an affair, whatever. I’m not saying I condone it either, but it’s their business, whether last year or 30 years ago. The point is that if tomorrow, it would be found that 30 years ago Nancy Pelosi had posed nude for Cosmoo, I have to believe it would be a field day for many many conservatives and Republicans. I would like someone to tell me that they wouldn’t care and would just brush it off like it was no big deal.

Arrogant acts like Specter’s are exactly what helped Brown win in one of this nation’s bluest of blue states. Yet, the Journal wants to discuss a lighthearted and heartfelt speech from a newly elected Senator versus why he won? Liberal agenda in action or just naive journalism?

You want to report about a picture taken in 1982, but you don’t report about Van Jones (communist) or Bill Ayers (bomber) or Mark Lloyd or ACORN, so I call that selective reporting. You know that Ted Kennedy killed someone while driving drunk and then let the girl die while he sobered up? I’m glad Brown took his old seat. Maybe he’ll bring life back to the Republican party.
