‘Stupid and childish’

The WSJ’s James Taranto rips into conservative criticism of Scott Brown’s jobs-bill vote:
But what did the carping conservatives expect from Scott Brown? As an elected official, he answers to his constituents, who come from one of the most liberal states in the country. Although it's premature to characterize his record on the basis of a single vote, no one should be surprised if it ends up being on the leftward side of the GOP caucus.Samples of conservative carping here.
If Scott Brown is a RINO, any conservative with a semblance of sanity should drop to his knees and say a prayer of thanks for the creation of RINOs. If the species didn't exist, Sen. Martha Coakley would be the 60th vote in favor of ObamaCare. No, scratch that. She'd be the 62nd vote for ObamaCare, the 60th and 61st coming from the Maine Democrats who would have soundly defeated whatever "real" Republicans ran in place of Snowe and Collins.
Update - 2.25.10 -- Michael agrees: "Be thankful for what we’ve got, my fellow conservatives."
