Patrick Kennedy, Rhode Island congressman, flipped out on the House floor yesterday, furiously shouting that "shameful" US policy was needlessly putting soldiers in harm's way in Afghanistan. The congressman's explosion during a 3-minute allotment of time came during debate on a Democrat, anti-war resolution written by diminutive Dennis Kucinich, which called for all US soldiers to be out of Afghanistan within 30 days. Curiously, however, Kennedy, for all his unhinged screaming against US policy, still voted against Kucinich's resolution. Kennedy, who has oftentimes been the subject of ultra-humiliating public incidents involving sobriety problems and addiction issues, also found time to assail the US media, cursing them for apparently not focusing enough on Afghanistan and all the treasure spent there in terms of blood and money.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, pipe dream, out-of-touch-with-reality.
And the funny thing was he was “recognized” as the gentlmen from Massachusetts and he had to correct her and say Rhode Island.
Couple more years and he’ll be fat, an alcoholic, and rape or kill someone.. gotta keep up the family name.
Poster boy for adding mental health care to reform.
Hic!
Like father, like son.
BUT, by putting this bill forward they can establish a trendy reputation as "peacelovers" and moral anti-war warriors, while at the same time implying their opponents (basically anyone with any logic) are unreasoning warmongers who are ok with women and children being blown up and US soldiers coming home in bodybags to grieving relatives. I hate that kind of play. Its manipulative, its cynical and its unfair. Shame on them.

It’s a shame, because with a little training he could have been a pretty good second shift manager at the Dunkin Donuts in Pawtucket.
A sad display of mental illness.
I was kinda thinking the same thing...a guy whose medication ran low and he didn’t realize it.
But here’s the thing...how many senators and congressmen have a serious mental disease and take medication daily? How many should be in a mental institute?

I agree, more fire power and bigger bombs would keep them out of harms way
To Dennis,
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

His FATHER SCREAMED ALL the time, also!!!
Drunk like the late Teddy? Sure looked it!
Oh the drama!
He probably hoped to do a Jack Nicholson *tour de force* to get some attention.
Sorta, kinda backfired;)

I disagree, he was as High as a Georgia Pine. Stoned.
Rehab failed.
Well, he got it partly right. The press is absent on the most important stories of this House and this Administration. However, there are plenty of negative stories about the war and the soldiers involved.
The guy sounded like he was the town drunk.
Anyway you look at it,he is all done and has aright to tell all the idiots off. The second revolution is coming quicker that one may think and the Obama regime will be squashed, “By the people for the people”.
Cocaine and alcohol kills brain cells... yep... he is a kennedy.

This raving nutbag better adjust his meds.
After viewing the video sodpoodle posted in reply #20, I’d say he needs to go visit a shrink. He is nuts, just like Teddy The Swimmer.
The last thing any Kennedy wants is a more attentive, investigative press.
I must admit, ultra liberal Patrick Kennedy used the same words as this ultra conservative has used on many occasions: that the news media is “despicable”.
