Drunken Kennedy Quote of the Day

Washingtom Compost ^ | 6/27/03 | Grove

[pabianice]

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 f****** day in my life."

With that he got the audience's attention -- the dropping-jaws kind. "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..."

"Washington Compost"? When they print a story like this, we should show a little more respect. You know, reward good behavior.

"The Kennedy family...& the Clinton family, America's enduring shame..."

I like when Ted wandered through a plane yelling Eskimo Power!

This really is a summing up of the Kennedy Legacy, capping off 50 plus years of so-called public service.

Elected office is the next step in securing major wealth, just ask the Kennedys, Corzines, Feinsteins and the Kerrys:

peroration

\Per`o*ra"tion\, n. [L. peroratio, fr. perorate, peroratum, to speak from beginning to end; per + orate to speak. See Per-, and Oration.] (Rhet.) The concluding part of an oration; especially, a final summing up and enforcement of an argument. --Burke.

Hilarious! The "What, me worry?" kid.

Wow, that's completely new to me. I guess Ted and Eskimos both have a thing for ice but that's about the only connection I can come up with. Someday someone needs to put all of these in a book!

[Rebelbase]

Still, in the difference between two evils, I'd much rather have a bunch of Bush, than a pile of Kennedys.

On par with Teddy's "traditional Easter holiday" ravaging local girls at the Kennedy compound.

[GladesGuru]

It sounds like P.J. O'Rourke was wrong when he said of the Kennedy's that "the bogtrotter's circus has folded its tents and slinked away".

One last, classless, clown act performance was still to be.

[MissAmericanPie]

No problem Ted Kennedy will change his last name to Bush and no one will be able to tell the difference.

"I don't need Bush's tax cut. I have never worked a f****** day in my life."

Sometimes, the truth comes out.

"Never worked - run for politics to take money from those"

Proves how hard our elected officials work on our behalf.

Let's face it, they're all born with silver spoons in their mouths.

Right! Now, where's Ann Richards when we need her. She said that about 'poor George' when he ran against her for Govenor of Texas.

[BulletBobCo]

As a Kennedy goes, they were born with a silver flask in their mouths.

Hilarious!
This spokesmouse thought the jaw dropping came from Kennedy's use of a profanity rather than because Kennedy was bragging to a crowd that he never worked a day in his life.
Dumb and dumber.

[fish hawk]

Is this the younger Kennedy that has the artificial leg from the knee down? If not do you know the name of the one that does and what he is doing now?

[RRWCC]

Yes, but at least he is truthful (maybe because he was drunk). That's more than most politicians are!

[cksharks]

Thats strange I didnt think you were supposed to have any (ACCORDING TO THE LAW ON THE BOOKS NOW).
