2. Talking of pushing Brown, here is another example.

WASHINGTON D.C. – With full Senate approval still pending, Republican Sen. Scott Brown has pledged his support for legislation that aims to reduce the country's lung cancer mortality rates by 50 percent over the next eight years.

Brown's commitment to the bill's passage puts him in line with Democratic legislators from the Bay State, including Sen. John Kerry and Representatives Barney Frank, Stephen Lynch, John Olver and John Tierney.

What the Republican (which is generally a good paper) forgets to tell us is that Kerry is one of the original sponsors of the bill, introduced in April, and that it took 8 months for Brown to become co-sponsor. Now, I realize that everybody cannot be early co-sponsor of a bill, but it seems that the Republican is making too much an hero of Brown.

At least, the original PR from the Lung Cancer Association tells us that he is late in the game and that Kerry is an original cosponsor. Interesting that this disappears in the article.
