Massachusetts Democrats say that Sen. Scott Brown’s (R-MA) official explanation of how a passage from an Elizabeth Dole speech ended up on Brown’s website as a personal message from the lawmaker.

Brown blamed it on a “summer intern that put together the site.”

But Democrats say that’s a pretty long summer given that Brown’s office traced the error to the winter of 2010.

“The page had been online and not updated since around the time Brown took office, on February 4, 2010,” Marcie Kinzel, a Brown spokeswoman told Reuters.
