Barack Obamaâs Democrats werenât in the party mood after ex-model
Scott Brown became the Massachusetts Republican senator, putting the leaderâs healthcare reform plans in jeopardy. Handily, weâve summed it all up for you, with tunes!
It must be frustrating for intellectual heavyweight Obama when the American people vote for brawn over brains, but thatâs seemingly whatâs happened in Massachusetts.
The state is a Democrat stronghold, formerly the seat of Teddy Kennedy. But no longer, thanks to a Republican once described as âAmericaâs sexiest manâ being elected into office.
Mr Scott Brown once showed off his toned figure in a naked pose for Cosmopolitan magazine, now heâs muscled his way into power. And because the Republicans now have 41 members in the US upper house, to the Democratsâ 59, they can put the brakes on any bills Obama wants to push through â like his healthcare reforms â as the Democrats need a 60-vote majority to make something law.
The Republicans are probably busy playing Golden Brown by the Stranglers, while Democrat pessimists are no doubt cuing up Death of a Party by Blur.
Mr Brownâs female admirers may well feel like dusting off their 45s of Centerfold by J Geils Band.
Mr Obama, meanwhile, could always console himself with a reminder that heâs still the worldâs most powerful man, by blasting out President by DBM&T.
