“I’m here to start working,” a resolute Brown said, entering the Russell Senate Building en route to his transitional office. “We have to get our office up and running ... I’m here, ready to go I have a whole morning of briefings.”

As for Kennedy, he faces a Republican rival who is backed by Brown’s top strategists.

A WPRI-12 poll shows Kennedy with a 56 percent unfavorability rating in his district. Republican challenger John J. Loughlin II, a veteran state lawmaker, entered the race yesterday.

Loughlin said Kennedy is out of touch with Rhode Island voters. “We can’t afford it anymore,” he added.

A Kennedy spokesman declined to comment.

May have to donate to Loughlin....

Patrick Kennedy looks (and seems to act) like a child.

[cranked]

The real joke here is Patrick Kennedy....on numerous levels....just ask his priest. =.=

[afraidfortherepublic]

Was “Baby” Kennedy sober when he said that?

"Scott Brown lashed out"

hey look, it's propagandic language.

[Sybeck1]

Will Scott campaign for pubbies in the NE? While Palin barnstorms in the South and Midwest? Scott should do CA, OR, and WA too!

[gibsosa]

Projecting again, eh Patsy??

Scott Brown takes no #@&% from Patches PING

[YankeeReb]

Well Pampers Kennedy being a senator is a joke so I guess it all works out.

[BigBobber]

Brown should have ignored the little twerp.

Love God’s timing and placement of events. Scott Brown-runs in Massachusetts - most liberal state of the union - takes Ted KENNEDY’S seat—ted kennedy being the ultimate socialist healthcare crusader —Brown’s victory halts halts healthcare socialization process RIGHT as the horrible bill was about to pass.

Here’s to SENATOR Brown. :)

Some Freepers may disagree with Brown on social issues, but is there a Freeper who can’t appreciate a new Republican Senator with some real stones? I’m starting to think this guy will earn his national profile.

[votemout]

He should have punched him.

[pissant]

“mean spirited” is a term for sissies. You can do better than that, Mr. Brown.

[Rastus]

Come on, Brown. You can’t seriously hold Patty to those comments. It was the Ambien talking.

[JoanneSD]

That picture is priceless, showing what a whimp Kennedy is when faced with a genuine American Man.. Looks like Kennedy is trying to weasel his way around his statement with some flowery words

[Ben Mugged]

Threaten a politician and like any cornered animal they will lash out.

I wonder why Kennedy feels threatened?

Hey Patches, this “joke” is now in the very select Senate, succeeding your own father. Would Patches ever be elected Senator from
RI? He might not even win re-election to the House! Not if those polls give us any indication.

Camelot is over! Or will totally be over once Patrick
gets defeated.

“Brown’s whole candidacy was shown to be a joke today when he was sworn in early in order to cast his first vote as an objection to Obama’s appointment to the NLRB.”

Big deal! It's not as if Scott Brown drove his girlfriend off a bridge, saved his own ass, and then spent the next day trying to get some political hacks to take the fall for him while the girl was drowning in a few feet of water. That, my dear product of imperfect nepotism, is the joke.

[hoe_cake]

Was Brown really STUNG by Kennedy’s childish comments?

I doubt it.
