Scott Brown Takes Tokyo
While many of his former colleagues were burning the midnight oil all week in hopes of saving the world economy from completing an anticipated death spiral, former Sen. Scott P. Brown, R-Mass., has been living large in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Granted, he’s not been preoccupied with all the royal engagements he once claimed crowded his schedule — when he wasn’t tending to his floofy wittle friends, of course — but the Massachusetts Republican appears to be keeping busy during what seems to be a whirlwind tour of Japan.
According to his Twitter feed, the Japanese government specifically requested Brown make the globe-spanning trek so that he could huddle with “business, political, education and industry leaders.”
Brown has, at least so far, made the most of the experience, spending his time:
Beautiful day in Tokyo. Hit the gym, did a run while doing a recon of the area. At the Tokyo Skytree, then to a Sumo wrestling match.centerfold shape,

In Japan. Supposedly getting the biggest typhoon they have had for some time. I’m used to snow and blizzards. This should be different.

Even in Japan there are strong Red Sox fans. Another nice win. Funny following them here because it is 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.
