Sore Loser Masshole Whines About Scott Brown

This jerk should think twice before he opens his mouth again because this idiotic statment sure won't endear him to the very ornery voters of Massachusetts.
Secretary of State William Galvin this morning called on U.S. Sen.-elect Scott Brown to “respect the rights of the majority” during a Governor Council’s meeting called to certify the results of last month’s special election.
Well, I hope Brown would respect the majority of voters. Especially since the majority voted for him. Although that's not quite what Galvin was getting at.
Galvin said he was referring to speculation Brown made a sudden push yesterday to be seated quickly because of an effort to block an up-or-down vote on one of President Obama’s nominees for the National Labor Relations Board.

“I’d like to call on Senator Brown now to respect the rights of the majority,” Galvin said. “I hope that we will be able to see an up or down vote on all the nominations of President Obama and that the rights of the majority that are being respected here will be respected by the United States Senate and Senator Brown.”
So I guess Brown just needs to vote just like his late predecessor would have and everything with be peachy, right? So what was the point of having an election in that case?
Galvin expressed concern about the 41st vote Brown has come to represent. His upset election last month ended the Democrats’ super majority in the Senate.

“I think much of what we’ve seen in this whole discussion is about the 41st vote. Last time I checked the Constitution, it didn’t say anything about needing 60 votes for every single thing that needs to be done. I think that contributes to gridlock,” Galvin said. “This is about a process where the majority rules. Hopefully he will respect the rights of the majority."
Why is it some Democrats have no understanding how the Senate functions?

Meanwhile, I figured the Democrats would stick Brown in some utility closet, but he's actually snagged The Swimmer's plush digs.
After Scott Brown gets sworn in Thursday afternoon, he won't just be taking Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, he will also be taking over his plush office space in the Senate Russell building.

Several Senate sources tell CNN that the Senate Rules Committee, which assigns office space, decided to give Brown Kennedy's old digs as a matter of convenience.
