Dem Chairman Apologizes for Calling Scott Brown a Girl

John Walsh Apologizes for Calling Scott Brown a Girl. An “honorary girl,” to be exact. “We’ve also experienced Scott Brown,” Walsh, the Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman, said on Monday to the Massachusetts delegation to the DNC. “We’ve got to say a few good things about him: He handsome, right? He’s still got the coat. He’s still got the truck. He’s a regular guy. I mean, he spent a couple million dollars folding towels on TV to prove he’s an honorary girl. We appreciate that.” Walsh’s apology came about six hours later. [WCVB]

College Students Are Back, and the Police Blotter Is Much More Colorful. Take this weekend’s case of Chris Trenti, 21, who was charged on Sunday morning with indecent exposure and resisting arrest after officers saw him peeing (!) on the front stairs of a building on Tremont Street. Trenti saw the officers approaching him, and so he took off running and tripping over his shorts until he probably decided that it would be easier to leave the shorts behind. The officers lost Trenti but found his shorts, and modus ponens, eventually located Trenti because he left his wallet in his pocket. [BPD]
