THIS JUST IN...
As sometimes happens with Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), he let his mouth race ahead of his brain Wednesday night at a gathering of Young Democrats at the Washington nightspot Acropolis. After presidential candidate Howard Dean spoke, Kennedy delivered an impassioned peroration against President Bush's tax cut. We hear that Kennedy told the crowd: "I don't need Bush's tax cut. I have never worked a [bleeping] day in my life." With that he got the audience's attention -- the dropping-jaws kind.

Frankly there are way too many public officials in the same boat. That's one of the major reasons why our government is so damned screwed up.

"We hear that Kennedy told the crowd: "I don't need Bush's tax cut. I have never worked a [bleeping] day in my life.""
What Patrick Kennedy just said, was he is a dead beat.
Patrick Kennedy is proof that the US House of Representatives is a place, where a mental defective can get paid over $100,000 per year.

". . . "He droned on and on, frequently mentioning how much better the candidates would sound the more we drank," a witness told us. "Finally, he had to be stopped by a DNC volunteer." Kennedy's spokesman, Ernesto Anguilla, told us yesterday: "He was talking to the crowd; it was a rally-the-troops kind of speech about the tax cut. He was energizing the crowd and got caught up in it and used an unfortunate word, which he regrets using. . . . And no one pulled him off the stage." "yitbos

Kennedy has defrauded the state of Rhode Island. I'm sure that when he ran for congress that he said that he would work hard for their best interests, yada,yada, yada.
To: nutmeg
Sounds like he was drunk.

The Kennedy Clan is nothing but a bunch of low life scums with way too much money and time on their hands.
It's a shame the name carries so much "gravitas" amongst the working class. They might learn a whole lot by getting off their lazy behinds and working for a living!

I was trying to post this link but got beat!
I seem to never be able to apply the link to the 'freep' post quickly enough.
Anyway, 'I am deeply saddened' by this outrageous outburst from a so called 'gentleman congressman'.
Lets see if this blurt makes the front page of the New York Times! Ha!

I have worked every day of my life since I was 18 years old, and I need Bush's tax cut just so I can make ends meet in this [bleeping] Socialist paradise that your relatives and their sick syncophants have created for us to live in.

Honestly, I can't think of a single Kennedy that is or was worth a damn.
To: lelio
Dunno about drunk. Most of the Bobby Kennedy offspring were into hard drugs when they were teens. Who knows what he was on....

Not worth a damn.... Agreed! Ol' Pappy made all his money running booze and now the clan lives off his investments. Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves....
