Silly Republicans Lining Up for Dems Kumbaya SOTU Seating Plan

Add Scott Brown to the list of Republicans who don't understand the real motivation behind the Dems Kumbaya State of the Union speech seating plan:

U.S. Sen. Scott Brown said this morning he’ll take part in the bipartisan seating at President Obama’s State of the Union address, urging that people need to move past the “itty-bitty letter” signifying he’s a Republican at the end of his name.

“I’ll sit where ever they put me. I don’t care,” Brown said at the Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast in Boston. “That’s the type of attitude we need to have not only in Washington but here in our local political system where people need to forget about the little itty-bitty letter behind my name and other people’s names and just kind of get going and get our jobs going and do what’s best for this state and this country.”

This is not about unity. It's not about "c-c-c-can't we all just get along." It's about hiding how small the Dem minority in Congress is by mixing everybody up so when those moments in the speech come in which one party or the other leaps to their feat in faux ecstasy it won't be quite so obvious how far the Dems have fallen.

So far none of the House GOP has signed on to this, and since it's their chamber I'm hoping they'll stick with the usual seating arrangement that has the parties in separate areas.
