We didn’t send him there to be bipartisan.

(The Hill) — Republican Senator Scott Brown (Mass.) — who is running for re-election in a traditionally Democratic state — told state officials in Massachusetts over the weekend that he is the person most able to work with both parties in the Senate.

“I’m the most bipartisan person in the entire United States Senate,” he said, according to a report posted by the Boston Herald.

Brown then appeared to demonstrate that claim by finding common ground with Democratic Representative Ed Markey (Mass.) on federal spending. Brown said he is “proud” that the Senate boosted transportation funding compared to a version passed by House Republicans.
