Scott Brown Wants Another Go At American Idol For ‘Available’ Daughter

On Sunday, we summarized Scott Brown‘s first high-profile sit down on This Week with Barbara Walters, but never addressed what is perhaps Brown’s biggest legacy so far. That’s right: his daughters are “available!” When Barbara brought it up, Brown motioned with a gun to his head (one daughter is not, in fact, available) and then made an offer, on behalf of his daughter Ayla, to Simon Cowell of American Idol.

“I’d love to have him have her on the show again,” he said, stammering a bit, possibly nervous about incurring the wrath of embarrassed daughters again. “She’d never even put on make-up until she walked in the American Idol studios.” He continued: “I’d love them to get together and have her get on Idol again. It’d be great for her, it’d be great for the show.” And he kept right on going, adding, “Ayla actually respects Simon greatly.” Hear that, Mr. Cowell? The new senator from Massachusetts’ daughter appreciates your work!

Not quite news of national weight, but a chuckle-worthy media moment, to be sure. Check out the clip below:
