1. "Rep. Kennedy apparently feels that delay in getting to the people's business is OK - one need only examine his thin record to know that he believes this very deeply. May I remind the honorable representative from Rhode Island that his uncle, when elected in a similar special election 48 years ago, was seated within 24 hours of his election. Had Governor Patrick held himself to the same standard, I would have been seated two weeks ago, and been hard at work saving money for my constituents."<2> 2. "I am not certain why the honorable representative chooses to attack me on the day of my swearing in - is it possible that he is off his medication, or that his prescription has exceeded its "use by" date? Of course, Representative Kennedy is free to resign his Rhode Island seat and move to Massachusetts, where he could both challenge me in 2012 and be eligible for taxpayer-funded medication."
LOL. loving both responses!! but wouldn’t they be just a wee bit too “mean spirited”?? </sarcasm>
