Treat me like I'm black, sez Teddy's son

Like father like son. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Splish, splash. So many cliches so little time.

Or as Howie Carr puts it.."the olive doesn't fall far from the martini".

"It's what anyone else would have done to them if they were an African-American in Anacostia," Kennedy said in a shaky voice, referring to the mostly minority neighborhood in southeastern Washington.

Could you imagine the bruhaha if a Republican had said that? The racisim and hyporcacy of the Democratic party knows no bounds. They're really not all that far removed from the days when the KKK were their militant arm.

I heard a clip of that presser on Howie Carr yesterday... Patches sounded like he was going through a bad case of the shakes. It was pathetic... but quite telling.

This worthless POS should resign... his attitude clearly shows he has not yet hit rock-bottom.

[FormerACLUmember]

Denying that he was drunk and or that he asked the Capitol Police for preferential treatment, Kennedy, a Rhode Island congressman, said he's prepared "in terms of bookings, in terms of mug shots, fingerprints, whatever they might have me do

What a bare-face liar! Sadly, this is the same BS that this loser had dished out since his first rehab at age 15. He has lied for 25 years of failed rehab, treatment failures BECAUSE he lies.

Pathetic family of drunken democrat deceivers.

Pimp mah ride!

[rlmorel]

LOL! As a fellow Massachusetts resident, wasn't that priceless!

[MaDeuce]

Did you get your "Bum" magnet from Howie yet?
Those two idiots walking with a cooler of beers is classic.

[Enterprise]

I want to help. First, he needs to dress the part. Here's a "how to" guide for the poor little rich boy.

"Denying that he was drunk and or that he asked the Capitol Police for preferential treatment,..."

By stating he was traveling to the Capitol Building to vote, he was asking for preferential treatment. Stating otherwise, doesn't make it so. The guy is a coddled fool.

[Beckwith]

OK, OK! It's now official. Patches Kennedy is a total idiot and chronic substance abuser.

But how screwed up are the citizens of Rhode Island?

Not only have they repeatedly sent this POS to Congress, they'll do it again at the next election.

[marshmallow]

Ah yes.....time to play "the victim".

'Cept this one is a real stretch.

Trying to turn a simple case of a white man's alcoholic inebriation into a crusade against racial injustice is a bit much even for a Kennedy.

This guy is starting to make his father look good and that's saying something.

[ConservativeStatement]

Did you hear when Patches said "I am going to quit alcoholism" or something like that. Alcoholism? Ism? LOL, Howie had a great time with that.

[Spruce]

Isn't this the man that got hit in the face with a hammer a few months ago? I think the damage might be more severe than they think.

[Red Badger]

That is the stupidest comment I've ever heard from a politician of any stripe. Shows what he really thinks of black people..........

[stylin19a]

you never Shakes & Patches in the same room together....hmmmm

[maggief]

Where is the pic of Patches dressed as Jacko?

Meanwhile ...

[FReepaholic]

...Fresh from rehab...

Well, that was quick. I'm sure he's completely cured. Riiiight.

[jebeier]

He's out of rehab already? What's it been, a week?

[rogue yam]

The test here will be to see which liberal "black leaders" (oh, how I hate that term) call Patches on this insulting, patronizing, presumptuous crap. If the over/under is one, I'll take under.

[Fighting Irish]

"It's what anyone else would have done to them if they were an African-American in Anacostia,"

I WANT TO HEAR THIS ON EVERY MEDIA OUTLET BEFORE BEDTIME TONIGHT!!!!
