EX-MODEL WHO WORE PINK LEATHER SHORTS ON HIS FIRST DATE WITH HIS WIFE WILL VOTE NO ON REPEAL OF DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL

New York Times Magazine, 2/28/10:

... Arianna told me that [Scott Brown] showed up for his first real date with her mother, Gail Huff, a TV newscaster to whom he has been married for more than 23 years, in pink leather shorts. It's family lore.

... He clarified that the shorts weren't something that he went out and purchased -- it wasn't like that at all. "I did the couture shows, and instead of paying in cash, they paid in clothes," he said. "And one of the things I had to wear were leather shorts. And these happened to be pink."


Boston Globe today:

Sen. Scott Brown will vote against repealing 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' when it comes up for a vote Thursday in the Senate Armed Services Committee, dealing a blow to gay rights advocates who were hoping the freshman Republican would support efforts to permit gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military, The Globe's Political Intelligence blog has learned.

Hey, I'm not saying the guy is overcompensating or anything. I'm just sayin'.

****

But seriously, you can go here or here to see Senator Brown cheerily posing for a photo with Brian Camenker of the anti-gay group MassResistance. Camenker says he's known Brown for years, and spoke highly of Brown in the days before Brown's election. Here's an interview with Cameker at the site of the gay-conversion group NARTH.
