@mattklewis How come it's not news that the first black Senator from the south was appointed today?
@Keethers @dmataconis I think it's significant and newsworthy. The symbolism of his defeating Strom Thurmond's son in SC! ... Amazing story.

@mattklewis@dmataconis Look. I'm by no means a Scott supporter, right? But if the shoe were on the other foot, it'd be big news. -
@mattklewis@dmataconis I'm not trying to stir the pot, but it makes you wonder. -
@Keethers@dmataconis I think you are exactly right. And intellectually honest, to boot. -
@mattklewis@dmataconis I don't know if AfAms like Allen West gave the media pause, but we'll find out in short order what's the deal. -
@Keethers@mattklewis There are substantial differences in style, rhetoric, and decorum between Scott and West. -
@dmataconis@mattklewis Decorum. Operative word. I'll say this, if Scott comes off as a statesmen, he'll stick around.

@mattklewis I distinctly recall the fact that he beat Thurmond's son being mentioned in 2010. And it wasn't on Fox@Keethers -
@dmataconis I remember it being mentioned on Fox. Because it was mentioned, and I don't watch leftist channels.@mattklewis@Keethers -
@VaTxn I recall it being mentioned and I don't waste my brain cells on Fox or MSNBC@mattklewis@Keethers -
@dmataconis Well, you're 1/2 right. CNN's gonna have to go reality pretty soon though. "Real Interns Of Capitol Hill"@mattklewis@Keethers
