These days there's nothing that surprises me about this doofus but this particular story deserves some real scrutiny:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
Former Massachusetts senator Scott Brown (R) has run several attack ads criticizing Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) for failing to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. But as a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, he missed all six hearings on border security that he was eligible to attend, records suggest.
Brown was absent from five hearings in 2011 and one in 2010, according to a review of public records and congressional transcripts and video. Of the six, four were full committee hearings and two were meetings of the subcommittee on Disaster Recovery and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which he belonged.
A review of all Homeland Security Committee hearings during the time Brown was senator shows those were the six he could have attended, based on his subcommittee membership.
It is not uncommon for senators to miss committee hearings. Scheduling conflicts, including other committee meetings, can complicate matters. Shaheen has also been criticized for absences from committee meetings.
But Brown's absences from border security hearings are especially notable since he has sought to elevate the issue in the campaign. He has routinely railed against "amnesty" for undocumented immigrants and argued that Shaheen been too soft on border security. - Washington Post, 10/1/14
Here's one of the ads Brown has been playing on this issue:
What a hypocritical clown. By the way, Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D. NH) is getting a big name guest to hit the campaign trail for her:

Hillary Clinton is expected to help raise campaign cash for Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire — an important place to maintain friends, should the former secretary of state choose to make a second bid for the White House.
Two Democrats with knowledge of the event confirmed Clinton will join Shaheen at a New York City fundraiser this week, but did not specify a date. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the fundraiser by name before it was announced.
Clinton won the 2008 New Hampshire presidential primary and will need to keep up alliances in the state if she chooses to run for president in 2016. She was also scheduled to host a Washington, D.C., fundraiser for New Hampshire state Sen. Lou D'Allesandro on Tuesday, but rescheduled due to the birth of her first grandchild. - Huffington Post, 9/30/14
Lets help Shaheen hand Brown a second round of defeat by donating and getting involved with her campaign:
