Video: Patrick Kennedy goes nuts over media’s Massa coverage
posted at 6:42 pm on March 10, 2010 by Allahpundit
Go figure that a scion of Camelot, who’s lived up to the family legacy in so many ways, would look dimly upon press coverage of politicians’ misbehavior. Funny, but I don’t remember many Democratic complaints about the sustained media swarm over Mark Foley in fall 2006 while Iraq was falling apart. I’m sure there’s an explanation for the difference somewhere.
This clip makes me nostalgic, and not because Patches is retiring in the fall. Close your eyes and tell me he doesn’t sound eerily similar to another guy named Foley. If not for the vast Kennedy fortune, this tool would be living in a van down by the river.

Did poor little Patrick’s drug dealer get busted?

Kennedy, Schmennedy. Who gives a rat’s for any of these rats?
AH_C on March 10, 2010 at 6:48 PM
It’s almost impossible to be an embarrassment to the Kennedy name. Congratulations, Pat. You’ve done the impossible.
amerpundit on March 10, 2010 at 6:48 PM
He’s planning another 3 a.m. “vote rush” tonight.
Cicero43 on March 10, 2010 at 6:48 PM
He appears to be complaining that there isn’t press covering Afghanistan by sitting in the House chamber listening to him ramble. I’m guessing that’s not the most effective way to cover a war.
S. Weasel on March 10, 2010 at 6:49 PM
heh…Patches? What’d I miss?
JetBoy on March 10, 2010 at 6:49 PM
My god, it’s true! That’s hilarious!

What a tool. I feel for his constituents… Scratch that–they elected him in the first place.

He obviously needs a snort . . . what an unmitigated jacksass.

What is up with that haircut?
darii on March 10, 2010 at 6:53 PM
Obviously he’s planning to go after whoever dropped him on his head as a baby. Repeatedly.

This Kennedy infestation of our government must stop. They are the slimiest family I have ever seen in my life.
neurosculptor on March 10, 2010 at 6:54 PM
Patrick, please check into rehab.

The fail is strong with this one.

It is not even March 17 yet.
Mr. Joe on March 10, 2010 at 7:03 PM
Hopefully Patches will be the last Kennedy from this family to serve in Congress. The other offspring are just as delusional.
volsense on March 10, 2010 at 7:04 PM
aahahahaha patches
i LOVE IT
blatantblue on March 10, 2010 at 7:05 PM
Patrick should follow good old dad’s example and get sober.
MB4 on March 10, 2010 at 7:05 PM
He must be living on a steady diet of government cheese.

Well, la-dee-frickin-da!

I wish Patches would shut his yapper
F15Mech on March 10, 2010 at 7:06 PM
Did he do the Farley pants hitch as he walked away?
d1carter on March 10, 2010 at 7:07 PM
Mary Jo died for their sins. These people are beyond shameless.
BHO Jonestown on March 10, 2010 at 7:07 PM
Haha, he does sound like Farley.

More like an exorcist!
fourdeucer on March 10, 2010 at 7:09 PM
Why does this guy sound like he is weeping? Is that rhetorical genius or effect of Ted?
antisocial on March 10, 2010 at 7:09 PM
It’s called the Kennedy bob. All the coolest Kennedys have one. It balances out the buck teeth.
bloggless on March 10, 2010 at 7:09 PM
If this were a Republican or a Republican luminary’s son, the MSM would what, kahall? Worst Person In the World? Personally, I pray for this sick dude. I hope he has no influence on my children’s lives. By exposing his… issues, I assume at least the next MJK will not ride with him over a bridge.
chaswv on March 10, 2010 at 7:09 PM
Patrick…
… all you have to do is take up “snorkling”, and you will get all the press you want.
I hear Eric Massa is available to give you lessons…
Seven Percent Solution on March 10, 2010 at 7:09 PM
‘Patches’
lol
carbon_footprint on March 10, 2010 at 7:12 PM
Yeah I agree. I was just doing a Chris Farly/Mr Foley thing. Funny character.
kahall on March 10, 2010 at 7:13 PM
*snort*
Ooops… maybe typing the word “snort” on a Kennedy thread isn’t such a good idea.
MeatHeadinCA on March 10, 2010 at 7:14 PM
allah, clever thing ya got with the “nuts over media Massa’s coverage”. Allow me: Media over covers Massa’s nuts
bloggless on March 10, 2010 at 7:14 PM
Ahem. Ms. Pelosi? Isn’t that your cue?
Oh, that’s right. You still need this one.
rogerb on March 10, 2010 at 7:14 PM
I can’t believe it–He actually blamed the media for Congress not doing its job.
No, I can believe it.
jgapinoy on March 10, 2010 at 7:15 PM
There is nothing like a good Kennedy video to make you appreciate what you’ve got. Thanks, allah.
bloggless on March 10, 2010 at 7:15 PM
Proving yet again that the only good Kennedy… wait for it… is an unemployed Kennedy.
/no, really, it wasn’t that tasteless
Doorgunner on March 10, 2010 at 7:17 PM
You’re making his point. There was a three hour House debate on a resolution to pull out of Afghanistan by the end of the year.

Looks like somebody is headed back to
rehaba place where he can deal with his exhaustion.I don’t wish Kennedy ill- I’d be a substance abuser too with Teddy Kennedy as a dad- but I really wish he’d stay clean and sober until he leaves office.
highhopes on March 10, 2010 at 7:18 PM
Patrick’s scalp impersonation of Blogovitch just ain’t work’n for me.
jbh45 on March 10, 2010 at 7:18 PM
‘Patches’ Kennedy…
… the ‘House Cat’.
Seven Percent Solution on March 10, 2010 at 7:19 PM
The media wasn’t there because it was Democrats trashing Obama and Republicans supporting him. I know Patches is dense, but this isn’t hard to piece together.
JammieWearingFool on March 10, 2010 at 7:19 PM
Patches is his nickname up here given to him by Howie Carr. It comes from the Clarence Carter song with the following lyrics : “But I would remember what my daddy said, With tears in his eyes on his dyin bed. He said, “Patches, I’m depending on you son, To pull the family through. My son it’s all left up to you.”
TheBigOldDog on March 10, 2010 at 7:19 PM
Help me out here…
I though all such outbursts in the House of Representatives were supposed to be confined to the member’s showers and had to be made in the nude.
Decorum, people, decorum
Another thought…
Are there similar intimidation tactics taking place in the women’s locker room?
(excuse me while I go and gouge out my eyes)
turfmann on March 10, 2010 at 7:20 PM
And you are working against Kennedy’s point. Why should the press waste three hours covering something that will never happen? Why should a bunch of far left b-listers like Kennedy get ANY air time? Was he pissed off that the media wasn’t there or that there wasn’t any opportunity for him to be televised?
highhopes on March 10, 2010 at 7:20 PM
Video stream not found. I’m probably not missing anything.
Judging by the screencap, he looks like a deranged, growed-up, version of Mason Reese.

Early tomorrow morning?
chaswv on March 10, 2010 at 7:21 PM
It’s better if you just turn the sound down and play Mayor Quimby instead….”It’s ChowDA, ChowDA, say it right Frenchie! ChowDA!”
Caper29 on March 10, 2010 at 7:22 PM
Actually, I’m a little confused about what Kennedy’s point was… Was he suggesting we go into Kuwait and Sudan or that we get out???
MeatHeadinCA on March 10, 2010 at 7:22 PM
Where the Dems when the maniacs were hacking millions to death in Rowanda? How about the millions of deaths from malnutrition during Saddam’s “Oil-For-Food” program?
Where is the outrage for all the civilian deaths due to drone attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan?
The bottom line is that the Dems can wage war and death and the MSM will not say a freakin’ thing about it. Now, while I think part of this is a good thing, the hypocrisy of it stinks to high heaven.
I’ve always said that it is the Dems who can wage war and kill the enemy more effectively that the Repub’s due to the MSM being on their side.
What most folks do not know is that the “O” has implemented almost 90% of Bush’s war policies including indefinite detention and special ops camps and the media doesn’t say squat.
This is a double-edged sword of course since they also do not report the news that he is undermining our Liberty with a speed that is unprecedented in our Republic.

Wade on March 10, 2010 at 7:43 PM
John F. Kennedy once said that life is unfair. Present day example of life’s unfairness: Patrick Kennedy. A van by the river would still be too good for him, and he does not need a bottle of rot gut alcohol to sound drunk.
Phil Byler on March 10, 2010 at 7:43 PM
Sounds as though he had a few too many —take your pick of drinks or pills —-before he got up to speak today. In his condition, you would think he would be happy there were not too many press in the gallery today
ILUVTX on March 10, 2010 at 7:44 PM
And is his nickname “Patches” or “Peaches”?
Wade on March 10, 2010 at 7:45 PM
You people in the national press corps better shape up and start reporting on things that really matter!
Or the next thing you’ll know you’ll find yourself eating a steady diet of GOVERNMENT CHEESE
and living IN A VAN!
DOWN BY THE RIVER!!

Three things that should be retired immediately:
1. The phrase “in harm’s way”
2. The phrase “make no mistake about it”; and
3. Any Kennedy still in office.
LASue on March 10, 2010 at 7:58 PM
I wonder what JFK would have thought about this slurring, stuttering and slobbering display. Probably not quite proud.
PaCadle on March 10, 2010 at 7:59 PM
I. Can’t. Listen. He makes my brain hurt. The Kennedys are all disgusting.
mimi1220 on March 10, 2010 at 7:59 PM
Swear to Aunt Ester Up Above, Broski, there actually was an episode where Fred Sanford served up “Champipple”. No lie.
Doorgunner on March 10, 2010 at 7:59 PM
And we thought Michelle was out of sorts over Beck’s Massa interview!
whatcat on March 10, 2010 at 8:00 PM
I can’t figure out which is the worst:
1. His hair
2. His public speaking skills
3. His voice
My God.
RedNewEnglander on March 10, 2010 at 8:04 PM
I believe Patches is off his meds; anyone else pick up on his incoherence? (Im posting before reading comments)
Willie on March 10, 2010 at 8:05 PM
The most disturbing thing is that a bunch of people voted to have this nut represent them.
LeeSeneca on March 10, 2010 at 8:07 PM
Why do Kennedy’s think they are Gods? In a van down by the river describes him well.
wi farmgirl on March 10, 2010 at 8:10 PM
Splish splash, I was givin’ Mary Jo a bath
Long about a Saturday night
A rub dub, just relaxing off the bridge
Thinking everything was alright
Well, I stepped out the river, put my feet on the bridge
I wrapped a towel around me
Looked around trying to find my pants, and then
Splish, splash! I realized my chance of becoming president was going to take a bath
Well how was I to know there was a drowning going on
She was a-splishing and a-splashing, reelin’ from my feelin’
Moving and a-grooving, bobbing and a-sinking, yea
- Teddy “Splash” Kennedy
MB4 on March 10, 2010 at 8:11 PM
And every morning before our driver carried me to that private school,
I’d ring the butler on the intercom and make sure he’d told the gardener to phone the farm and make sure Juan had fed the chickens and see if the hydraulic oil for the imported wood splitter had arrived, too.
Patches, I’m depending on you, son…
rogerb on March 10, 2010 at 8:12 PM
Wicked pissa!

You can take the Kennedys out of the sewer, but you can’t take the sewer out of the Kennedys.
No matter how rich they are, and how still richer they get from their off shore bank accounts, they will always be white trash.
