Drunken Kennedy Quote of the Day

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..."

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

You are unique among conservatives. Most THINK there is a difference.

I like to use a quarter to compare the two. Heads or tails - looks and feels a bit different, but spends the same.

Liberal is a synonym for hypocrite, which is a synonym for blowhard. They have nothing against rich guys, as long as it's their rich guy.

Patrick's older brother, whose name I can't remember, had part of his leg amputated because of cancer.

Yeah that stuff can be like truth serum. I'd like to see them all up there drunk telling us their true beliefs. Here, here for more drunken Democrats.

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

Yep. It would make a great T shirt slogan: Kennedy's quote on the front, and "But I need Bush's tax cut, because I WORK for a living" on the back.

With some of them their such airheads all it would take is koolaid.

Little Pattie boy best be careful or his famous uncle will come over and "terminate" him:

It happened a long time ago, but it is famous.

Ted has been incoherent for years. He was unable to talk in coherent sentences during the famous Roger Mudd interview, around 1975. Since then the reporters have caught a few more mumblings.

The funny thing about the Mudd interview is that Mudd was forced out of mainstream broadcasting soon after, even though he got a scoop.

Work with a fellow who used to be neighbors of the Kennedys in Virginia. The children were loud and uncouth. One observation is that the Kennedys live and received credit just on the Kennedy name. Generally speaking, they're not that well off financially but the Kennedy name opens doors unfortunately.

He was energizing the crowd and got caught up in it and used an unfortunate word, which he regrets using..."

He regrets using the 'F' word but not boasting about never having worked a day in his life.

I wonder how his constituents feel about paying him $155,000 a year for not working.

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

Nice timing on Patches' part, I must say. Now, when the left wants to include the non-contributors in tax cut refunds, we can simply say: "They don't need Bush's tax cut; they've never worked a f****** day in their lives. Patrick Kennedy said so."

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

Thats true, in general. Its part of the reason I have so much more respect for Tom Delay. He came from a huble background and broken home, had his own problems, worked hard, and became an exterminator. He got fed up with all the government regulations and decided to do something about it, and went to congress.

I am not unique at all, this is the opinion of thousands of conservatives.
