Reaction to Scott Brown’s YEA vote on the $15 Billion Democrat jobs bill today

Scott Brown (R), the new US Senator from MA, cast a vote for latest (Stimulus III?) Democrat "Jobs" Bill.  His response to those that supported and voted for him in the recent special reaction (especially those unhappy with that vote) was the vollowing:

Here’s Brown’s statement about why he voted for the "jobs" bill.

“I came to Washington to be an independent voice, to put politics aside, and to do everything in my power to help create jobs for Massachusetts families. This Senate jobs bill is not perfect. I wish the tax cuts were deeper and broader, but I am voting for it because it contains measures that will help put people back to work. “I was disappointed with the continuation of politics-as-usual in the drafting of this bill, as it was crafted behind closed doors, without transparency and accountability. I hope for improvements in that process going forward. All of us, Republicans and Democrats, have to work together to get our economy back on track. I hope my vote today is a strong step toward restoring bipartisanship in Washington."

My response to his response?

The unspoken meaning of the statement above? "I’m a fool, and an economic illiterate to boot…."
