Scott Brown: Taking Sexy Back

Posted on | January 13, 2010 | 28 Comments

Wow, how did I miss this story?

Long before he was a politician, the Republican candidate vying for Ted Kennedy’s U.S. Senate seat posed nude for the centerfold of Cosmo. Scott Brown won our “America’s Sexiest Man” contest and appeared in the June 1982 issue. In those days he was a 22-year-old law student at Boston College who was cramming for finals just days before stripping down for our photographer.

(Hat-tip: I Own the World.) This September item at Cosmo‘s Web site was almost certainly an opposition-research hit from the Coakley campaign. The Democratic idiots probably figured that the revelation that Brown had posed nude when he was 22 would hurt him with the “value voters.” But for every stuffy prude who was offended by the Cosmo pictures, the Republican candidate picked up at least three votes from chicks with a non-partisan admiration for his bod.

Hey, I can relate. The Great Speedo Scandal of 2009 failed to derail my quest for blogospheric success. Don’t hate me for my freedom.

UPDATE: You know who really digs a sexy right-wing dude? Little Miss Attila. Just sayin’ . . .

UPDATE II: The aforesaid Attila now informs me that Ace of Spades already had this yesterday.

Darn that Ace! How does he always get the sexy nude beefcake photos before I do? It’s almost like he spends all his spare time looking for that stuff. But that makes no sense, because if that was the decisive factor, Charles Johnson would have had this photo before either Ace or even Hillbuzz.
