What started out as a low-key-page-one-below-the-fold story in Tuesday’s Boston Globe . . .

Brown pauses, then backs Republican repeal effort

. . . turned into a high-pitched PAGE ONE SCREAMER in Wednesday’s Boston Herald:

The Page 4 piece is a hoot, never mentioning Brown’s supposed transgression (not supporting healthcare-reform repeal before supporting it), but only noting the reaction to it.

To wit:

“If he were a milk carton, he would be expired,” said Massachusetts Democratic Party chairman John Walsh.

“We start to wonder whether we helped a RINO (Republican in name only) get into office,” said Tea Party activist Jeffrey McQueen

Democratic consultant Dan Payne agreed, saying, “He’s really being revealed as a guy who’s in over his head.”

So:

Was the official expiration date of Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown (R-Barn Coat) March 23, 2010, the day Pres. Obama signed healthcare reform legislation into law?

As Bob’s Discount Furniture weirdo Bob would say:

I doubt it.
