Scott Brown: Too Rich For “Ted Kennedy’s Seat?”

Well, well, well Mister Brown, the truth finally comes out.

The Coakley campaign just sent out a press release pushing this HuffPo hit piece on Scott Brown. They’ve dug up some real dirt on this supposedly “regular guy” candidate. Did you know he “owns five properties.”

Five properties? Why, he must be an elitist, Republican snob!

Oh, the Democrats are on to you now, Scott.  They’ve discovered the details of your extensive real estate holdings, including your luxurious “3,000 squared-foot single-family house that is the current principal residence of Brown and his family…valued at $100,000 or more.”

Talk about lifestyles of the rich and famous!

Brown also owns three rental units in Brighton, and the Coakley campaign is trumpeting the fact that “Brown's 2008 SFI reports …a net income derived from [one of these units] of $1,001 to $5,000.”  Obviously, Brown doesn’t need some crummy senate job with an income like THAT!

Then there’s this stunner: Scott Brown, who pretends to be a modest, typical Massachusetts resident, owns a time share in Aruba.  That’s right: A time share.  The Coakley email reports the value of this Aruban paradise as “valued at $10,001 to $20,000.”

Thurston Howell III, call your office…

Obviously this outrages Massachusetts Democrats.  They prefer more down-to-earth, man-of-the-people candidates like Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.

John Kerry may have a net worth of $167 million, and he may have married two wealthy widows worth millions more, and he may own five houses of his own—including a “15th-century farmhouse transported from England and reassembled on the banks of the Big Wood River in Sun Valley” (NYTimes)—but John Kerry would never, ever own…a time share.

So let’s forget all this “Scott Brown” nonsense. This polo-pony Republican is obviously out of touch with average Bay State taxpayers.  And he’s certainly out of step with the Massachusetts Democratic Party.
