Gotta get this stuff in before the polls in MA close (part ii)
Alternate title: one of these things is not like the other (part ii).
Remember how Levi Johnston posed mostly naked for a gay men’s online magazine?
Well he’s got something in common with Republican candidate for Senate Scott Brown, with one important difference: Brown posed for a woman’s magazine.
Cosmopolitan dug through their archives to find a June 1982 issue featuring a very naked chap by the name of Scott Brown playing centerfold model. Flattering, in a certain light, but possibly problematic for Brown, who is running for Ted Kennedy’s United States Senate seat in Massachusetts. “Vote for Brown. He Has One Hell of a Stimulus Package,” the lady mag suggests as a slogan.
The appearance was part of that summer’s “America’s Sexiest Man” contest, which Brown won as “a 22-year-old law student at Boston College who was cramming for finals just days before stripping down for our photographer.”
I wonder how this would’ve affected the race if it had come out run a week earlier.

It could have been more effective elsewhere. When I posted the story on my Facebook account, at least one Christian Conservative unleashed bile on it without regarding the context, saying that he left the Republican Party because of the porno stars and queers in it.
Sadly, some who would vote GOP drool like Pavlovian dogs when presented with a framed story, regardless of the actual facts.
