Democrats made hay earlier today of the report of an ugly comment at a Scott Brown event: "Shove a curling iron up her butt" a crowd member shouted of Coakley in West Springfield.
The video above appears to show Brown smiling at the line and nodding, before returning to his message: "We can do this."
The jibe isn't out of the blue: It's a reference to the charge, explored at length recently by the Boston Globe, that Coakley failed to aggressively prosecute a sexual abuse case involving a curling iron.
The video is not unlike the one Democrats pushed earlier in which he snickered at a question about President Obama's birth; more experienced public figures know they can be judged not just by what they say, but by how they respond.
