Sen. Scott Brown thinks Vice President Joe Biden was “off base” when he suggested Sunday that the Massachusetts Republican get his facts straight on the legal procedures for military tribunals.
“It was insulting,” said Brown, who frequently jabbed the administration during his Senate campaign for giving suspected terrorists legal representation. On CBS's “Face the Nation” last weekend, Biden shot back that he doesn’t “know whether the new senator from Massachusetts understands: When you get tried in a military tribunal, you get a lawyer, too.”
"is currently the Guard's top defense attorney in New England."
Biden's comments came as part of the White House's effort to defend its move to try alleged Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a federal court, as well as the decision to read Miranda rights to the accused Christmas Day bomber.
Brown pushed back Monday on one of the White House's talking points about the handling of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab: that the Bush administration handled Richard Reid, the so-called shoe bomber, in the same way. “I’ve always felt that suspected terrorists should be tried in military tribunals and not civilian court, and as a matter of fact so do the majority of Americans,” Brown said.
“The big difference is are we going to pay $1,000 an hour for a private attorney and treat him as a civilian or ordinary criminal in a criminal court, or are we going give him a military attorney who’s going to be paid as a captain, major or lieutenant colonel, and obviously go through the military tribunal process?"
Perhaps he will be the last.

VP Joe the asswipe Biden needs to keep his mouth shut. The man needs to be sent up the Delaware River. The man's a few fries short of a happy meal. He gives the word Libtard a new meaning.
aw let the poor thing talk. he's only hurting himself and those that surround him. plus ...it's really amusing stuff. and i'm sure Sen. Brown can hold his own against him. pathetic and embarrasing though it is.
What a freakin' idiot. However, the MSM will likely declare it a major win for the VP Blowhard.
Biden is funny and few outside of those on MSNBC take him seriously---cheer up Joe, for Keith and Chris still love you---I doubt your owner does however!
I like watching Biden when he appears on TV, I look forward to the utter batshit he tosses out of his skull-cave. Go get'em Joe!!!!!!
Honestly, who knew this idiot would be comedy relief?
If Biden had a comedy show like John Stewart I would also be amused. But this fool is the VPOTUS; we are a heartbeat away from having this superficial spaz in charge of our country.
To tell the truth, the entire order of succession is cause for alarm. Even Gates, since he completely ignores Islamic terror as a potential threat, is not reassuring.
Once again, if you keep your mouth shut, people will think you are stupid. If you open your mouth, they will know it.
oooh look who's throwin stones! =-O
But....but....but Joe Biden is a Democrat. And we know all Democrats are super duper smart, much smarter than red state republicans.
This reminds me of the grubby marxists who've just tipped over a government and start criticizing everything out of their complete ignorance. They've lost so many fights now that they picked (Cheney alone has made them look foolish). If it weren't for the state run media sticking up for them and rewriting history on the fly, they would be toast
Joe Biden is the best insurance policy Barack Obama could ever have. What a schmuck.
Even snobbish jerks are capable of deferring to people who have been working in a particular field for years. Joe Biden takes the term 'arrogant prick' to a whole new level.
What a total ass Biden is!
Biden is a drunken moron who should be tried in a military Tribunal for
TREASON, along with his "boss" barry the marxist!
God Bless Scott Brown! O:-)
Well, you're right ... It's Delaware's fault. They put him in the position to become the public blithering idiot he has become.
