Unless you read the Boston Globe you've likely missed this one about rocket scientist Scott Brown, currently carpetbagging New Hampshire:

An obscure company in West Palm Beach that markets itself as a firearms manufacturer made a splashy announcement last summer: It was appointing Scott Brown, the former Massachusetts senator, to its advisory board.

Not revealed at the time was what Brown received in exchange for lending his name to the venture. But a report the company made to the Securities and Exchange Commission last month, which has not been previously made public, shows that Brown received stock that was worth $1.3 million at the time. Its value has declined considerably since then, as the stock price has fallen by half.

Global Digital Solutions Inc. does not yet sell or make guns. It has no revenue, no patents, no trademarks, no manufacturing facilities, and no experience developing weapons, according to its most recent corporate filings.

Not to put too fine a point on it, Global Digital Solutions is a scam, which has used Brown to fleece potential investors. Or, am I being cynical?That's not what Global says:

His picture is prominently featured on the company’s website as an adviser.

Far be it from me to point out that Brown has zero expertise, although I suppose you could say that he does have experience scamming potential investors voters.

And, again, if the point was to attract fleece-able investors, Scott's appeal, once again, apparently stops at the Washington pundit class:

The company’s stock price did not move from 88 cents a share on the day Brown’s appointment was announced, and it has declined by 48 percent in the months since.

The truth is, that Scott Brown is the male Sarah Palin. He was briefly a Senator solely through a series of fortuitous events that, we can all give thanks, did not repeat themselves, and are unlikely to be repeated in New Hampshire. Like Sarah, every move he makes is designed to bring in the cash. He will not be terribly disappointed if he loses the election in November; in fact he may want to lose. The real money, as Sarah has shown, is in grifting.
