MADELEINE BRAND, host:
Why use eHarmony or Match.com when there is your dad?
Senator-elect SCOTT BROWN (Republican, Massachusetts): So, I want to thank Ayla and Arianna for their help as well.
(Soundbite of applause)
BRAND: That's Massachusetts Senator-elect Scott Brown during his acceptance speech Tuesday night. Ayla and Arianna are his daughters but that's not all they are.
(Soundbite of applause)
Sen. BROWN: And just in case anybody who is watching throughout the country, yes, they're both available.
(Soundbite of applause)
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
To some, that was kind of sweet, one of those oh, Dad moments.
(Soundbite of crowd)
Sen. BROWN: Only kidding, only kidding. Arianna is definitely not available, but Ayla is.
(Soundbite of laughter)
BLOCK: To others, it was awkward, and to conservative talk show host Glenn Beck it was suspect.
Mr. GLENN BECK (Host, "The Glenn Beck Program"): I want a chastity belt on this man.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. BECK: I want his every move watched in Washington.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. BECK: I don't trust this guy. No I'm just telling you, it's just a creepy moment.
BRAND: Ayla Brown, the available daughter, says there's nothing creepy about her dad's comments, though she did admit to being slightly embarrassed. The senator-elects older daughter is not new to the national stage. She is a former "American Idol" contestant and she plays basketball for Boston College.
BLOCK: She is also a little busy these days with her Facebook page. Ayla Brown says she received more than a 1,000 friend requests after her father's acceptance speech mostly from single men.
