Brown ducks debates again

Six years ago, Henry Brown had to be guilted into debating opponent Andy Brack in their bids to be the congressman from the First Congressional District of South Carolina. When Brown wouldn't debate, he sent painted brown rubber ducks marked "Brown" to reporters as a way to highlight how Brown was shirking his responsibility to face the public.

Now Brown is back at it, full of arrogance, secrecy and self-importance. And surprisingly, he's defending his fright for not appearing on a statewide debate tonight on SCETV. Through a spokesman, he's using the excuse that he won't appear unless other partys' candidates also appear.

This is hogwash. Shame on you Henry Brown. But who's surprised at the shenanigans of the most useless congressman in Washington.

While Henry Brown says he isn't ducking debates -- if it walks, talks and sounds like a debate duck, it's a duck.
