Did Sen. Scott Brown rationalize Joseph Stack's plane crash?

What senator would publicly associate his political ideals with the frustrations espoused by a man who crashed a plane into a government building -- just hours after Joseph Stack's destructive suicide?

Massachusetts Republican Senator Scott Brown.

And when would said senator have made such an association?

In what Fox News said is his first nationally televised interview since he took office. What's worse -- by tying in the voter frustration that got him elected and not saying Stack was wrong, Brown appears to rationalize how he may have been right.

Watch:

Politicians rooting talking points in this morning's Austin plane crash? It could become a trend, or it could be ruled "too much, too soon." That all depends on how Stack is portrayed by the public and the media. Was he a crazy man with defensible ideas, or just crazy?

Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto began the interview by asking for Brown's reaction to the incident and to the "really crazy stuff" Stack rants about in the note he put on his Web site.

"Well it's certainly tragic and I feel for the families obviously being affected by it," Brown began.

And I don't know if it's related, but I can just sense not only in my election, but since being here in Washington, people are frustrated. They want transparency, they want their elected officials to be accountable and open and talk about the things that are affecting their daily lives. So I'm not sure that there's a connection, I certainly hope not. But we need to do things better.

Cavuto: Um, you know invariably people are going to look at this and say, well, that's where some of this populist rage gets you. [At this point, footage of the building IRS building in Austin appears on the right of the screen.] Isn't that a bit extreme?

Brown: Well, yeah, of course it's extreme. You don't know anything about the individual. He could have had other issues, certainly. No one likes paying taxes, obviously. But the way we're trying to deal with things and have been in the past, at least until I got here is, there's such a logjam in Washington. And people want us to do better. They want us to help solve the problems that are affecting Americans in a very real way.

[Here, the display zooms back to just Cavuto and Brown.]

And I think we, I'm hopeful that we can do that, with a lot of the things that are coming forward. At least what I'm hearing through, and speaking with my colleagues this seems to be a diff feel there's kind of a message that was sent with my election, the fact that I was elected by a substantial margin taking the former Ted Kennedy's seat. They want difference up here and I'm hopeful that's going to happen.
