Brown is the GOP candidate for the senate seat recently vacated by the death of Edward Kennedy. He is running against the state Attorney General Martha Coakley. A side issue of interest is the fact that in 1982, Brown appeared naked as the centerfold in Cosmopolitan Magazine. His arm covered his private parts. He was 22 at the time. In an op ed piece by Kathleen Parker of the Washington Post she states the following about this issue. "This near-perfect picture (of Brown as a candidate) has a few thumbprints, especially on a certain Cosmopolitan spread for which Brown posed half a lifetime ago trying to raise law school tuition money (sounds like the young lady who wanted to give me a lap-dance and said she was working her way thru college in NYC). The photo, which conceals that which matters, may be a yawn to family and friends, but it's the sort of delicious peek into a politician's past that can't be ignored". Nice justification. I can just imagine what conservatives would say if Brown was a liberal candidate.
