Or at least shouldn't Kennedy be censured for drinking on the job?

That's a joke. Congress is populated by practitioners of every vice known to man. Excessive drinking and drinking on the job is par for the course.

Sometimes i put bait like this out there, without a sarcasm tag, hoping some journalist might it pick up and run with it.

But you're right. It is a joke. In this case, no one will pick it up. No one will run with it.
