Equal time for mocking the left

Don't ever let it be said I'm afraid to dish it out to stupid democrats.

Have you seen the footage of Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) ranting on the House floor yesterday? The first 45 or so seconds of this clip are pretty funny, he really goes a bit insane:



So let me get this straight Mr. Kennedy you, a member of Congress, are ripping the media? You, a member of a profession - if you want to call politics a profession - held in lower regard than the media, are ripping them for giving ink and air to another lying, disgraced, former member of your august body? You who have admitted to abusing illegal drugs and recently crashed your car into the anti-terror barriers of the Capitol while under the influence of prescription drugs then avoided responsibility by running off to rehab? Why should they bother taking anything you say as important and then wasting their time reporting it?


I'm willing to bet that while there are only two members of the media in the House chamber, they're probably not outnumbered by elected officials by very much. In fact, I'd bet that besides you, Mr. Kennedy, there may, may if you're lucky, be two or three other House members in that chamber.

And, if you didn't notice the little AP bug down there, The Associated Press was there. It covers you and your colleagues for the rest of the media so they don't have to waste their time listening to useless speeches. So you're just playing to the C-SPAN and Associated Press cameras, and you know this you coke-snorting, pill-popping drama queen.

Ah, the fake outrage - you're right.

My first thought was "petulant child."

Joaquin - Man, that's twice in two days a commenter has come up with a better title. I must be slipping.

Liebchen - don't forget the part about having been born with a silver (coke) spoon (up his nose).

Patrick Kennedy is the lowest form of Kennedy and that really says something. First, he couldn't get into Harvard (and for a Kennedy born in the '60s to not be able to get into Harvard is really pathetic) and he has proven to be a complete failure and screwup at everything he did, from getting into drunken fistfights with valets (way to exemplify the worst Irish stereotypes, BTW) to coke fueled rampages. This "man" is not worthy of our attention.

i couldn't really hear what he was saying. my brain translated it into the peanuts teacher voice.

Brando - How about our ridicule? Is he worthy of our ridicule and derision? How does a Kennedy not get into Harvard? Was he brain damaged from the coke?

Alice - Wah wah wah wah wa wa. You have a very handy tallent there, friend.

Brando said...

True, the ridicule is much deserved...this guy is just such an overprivileged snot and everything about him from his stupid bloated face to that "hey is it still 1967?" haircut makes me want to slap him silly.

This speech reminds me of the old preachers who would substitute yelling for inspirational or enlightening words. Didn't work for them either.
