Where's the Republican outrage at Scott Brown's book deal?

Senator Scott Brown just signed a book deal with Harper Collins due for a 2011 release.

First of all, let me clarify that I don't give a crap when a politician signs a book deal because I think they can handle the tough task of legislating one or two days a week while they - ahem, their ghostwriter - write their political memoir.

However, whenever a Democratic office holder does this it's a massive abuse of power and there's all sorts of Republican outrage!!!

Sen. Scott Brown is "writing" a book and he just signed book deal with Harper Collins. Republicans don't seem to care, I don't care, and liberals don't care either because he's not writing the thing anyway. But if you were mad at Deval Patrick for signing a book deal in 2008 then you should be mad at Scott Brown for signing a book deal in 2010.

Just sayin'.
