 Sen. Brown: 'Thank God' Elizabeth Warren kept her clothes on 
 
 By Josh Lederman - 
 
 Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) Warren is at the head of a pack of Democratic candidates vying to take on Brown, who won a special election in 2010 and will face reelection to his first regular term in 2012. During a debate Tuesday for Democratic Senate candidates in Massachusetts, Warren took a shot at Brown, who posed for Cosmopolitan in the 1980s to help pay for college, saying she had chosen to keep her clothes on and borrow money to fund her education instead. "Thank God," Brown said on Boston-based radio station WZLX 
 
 The host laughed and agreed. I said, 'Look, can you blame a good-looking guy for wanting to, you know…” 
 
 "You know what, listen: Bottom line is, you know, I didn’t go to Harvard, you know, I went to the school of hard knocks, and I did whatever I had to do to pay for school," Brown cut in. "I did what I had to do, and but not for having that opportunity, I never would have been able to pay for school, and never would have gone to school, and I wouldn't probably be talking to you, so whatever." Warren did not study at Harvard, but is a member of the faculty at Harvard Law School — a position Brown has argued makes her part of an out-of-touch class of intellectuals.

– Aren't Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren supposed to be debating the social contract and other lofty things? Their Senate race just took a low detour: Warren made a point during a debate Tuesday to take a jab at Brown's old Cosmo cover, saying that when she was a college student, she took out loans to pay the bills and kept her clothes on. "Thank God," Brown told a local radio station in response, reports the Hill. He and the host then laughed. "I went to the school of hard knocks," Brown said. "I did what I had to do, and but not for having that opportunity, I never would have been able to pay for school, and never would have gone to school, and I wouldn't probably be talking to you, so whatever." The Warren camp did not respond today to his retort. Click for more details on Brown's back and forth with the host on WZLX.
