GOP Senate Candidate's Racy Pics Don't Matter─Because He's a Dude
Katie Connolly

Most of the attention on the Massachusetts Senate race so far has focused on the growing pool of Democratic candidates, which makes sense given that Democrats virtually own the seat. So you'd be forgiven for missing GOP state Sen. Scott Brown's announcement Saturday that he's entering the race. Brown's been a fixture in Massachusetts conservative politics since the early 1990s, and he's served in the Massachusetts Senate since winning a special election in 2004. Some Gaggle readers may remember the fiscal conservative as the father of American Idol contestant Ayla Brown. But others may remember him from his 1982 nude centerfold in Cosmopolitan, dug up by Wonkette back in 2007.

.......................

In the end, there are many reasons why this photo won't matter much in this campaign─not least of which being that Brown's chances of winning Kennedy's seat are minuscule. But it probably won't matter much to the rest of his career, either. It's just one of the advantages of being a dude.
