B-Ball Court Challenge… Scott Brown to Obama: How About Some Basketball to Raise Money to Help Out Haiti’s Earthquake Victims?
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on February 16, 2010
Senator Scott Brown has challenged Pres. Obama to a basketball charity effort to raise money to help Haiti's earthquake victims
Some blog posts just make you grin like an unabashed idiot. Like this unexpected one today from HillBuzz about Sen. Scott Brown’s unique challenge to Pres. Obama to help raise money to help Haiti’s earthquake victims. This fundraiser has the potential of raising millions of dollars. And it should be a breeze to coordinate compared to the 2-hour celebrity telethon spearheaded by George Clooney.
Love it, love it, love it…
From HillBuzz, Great Merciful Zeus: Scott and Ayla Brown challenge Obama to charity basketball game for Haiti relief:
This is a brilliant move by Scott Brown on so many fronts.
Dr. Utopia’s propaganda machine is always talking about how much he loves playing basketball. He played “basketball” with Alexi Giannoulias. He’s played “basketball” with his longtime “body man” Reggie Love. Back in Chicago, he played “basketball” with all sorts of men.
No word if he’s ever played “basketball” with his wife, our “fashion icon” First Lady.
Scott Brown really is Hottie McAwesome to put this challenge out there. Just like the challenge the Special Olympics made to Dr. Utopia after he made fun of Special Olympians on the Jay Leno show last year, Dr. Utopia will no doubt decline this competition. If he wasn’t man enough to meet some of the Special Olympians he ridiculed at the White House bowling alley and roll a few gutter balls for the cameras, he is certainly not decent enough to agree to a basketball game for Haitian relief.
That event could conceivable raise millions — if everyone on both sides of the aisle committed to fundraising. We’d certainly do our own part and publicize, publicize, publicize it.
The cult of personality surrounding this president is heavily steeped in “basketball”. There have been photos of him shooting a hoop, but no footage of an actual, live game, to see how he really plays. Somehow, we don’t think it would be very good.
Scott Brown’s challenge is a wonderful trap — because Brown and his daughter Ayla would cream Dr. Utopia and whatever “basketball buddy” he elects to take the court with him.
Hottie McAwesome is definitely someone to watch going forward…if he keeps pulling stunts like this, which no other Republican has tried…he could have a very big impact.
We wish Sarah Palin had thought to offer this challenge.
Hundred-to-one odds the magnificent BHO will blow this opportunity off as he has the American majority on ObamaCare, cap and trade, unemployment, border security, the war on terrorism, our relationship with Israel and other allies, unfettered government growth, power-addicted spending… ‘cuz he’s just an empty suit who is geared that way.
