Ted Kennedy's son admits: Democrats make more sense when drunk!

Also he is quite thrilled at the fact that he's never worked a day in his life:

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 [bleeping] 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. . . . And no one pulled him off the stage."

Open mouth, insert foot, close mouth, swallow.

Everything seems better when you're drunk. Democrats, Republicans, Nazis, Ming, Sharon...

"I don't know why... but I lurv you, you're my friend" (hick)

I notice that in your wall of shame, you have Ming listed as worse than the Nazi's, but better than Sharon. That's gonna piss off a few of our Mediterranean brethren...

Hell, people even look better.

[JohnT]

Having never been drunk before, I'll take your word for it.

[Al B. Sure!]

i dont understand something... why do the DNC get worried about the curse but pay no mind to the 'never having worked a day in my life'?

[Lorizael]

Drunk people are silly. Was he?

[GePap]

Oh, wow, i care so deeply about this crucial, world shaking speech, that shall be remembered throught the ages, as the appox of Man's ingenuity and ...blah, blah, blah.

maybe it can be best appreciated when drunk?

It wasn't the DNC, it was his spokesman trying to spin things as best as he could. One of the ways to do this is to "misunderstand" the controversy so that the "admitted" gaffe, while still a gaffe, takes precedence over the bigger problem.

In this case, the PR guy is drawing attention to the swear word hoping that will detract people from noticing:

a. That his boss basically gloated about being a trust fund baby

and

b. That his boss admitted that Democrats make more sense when drunk

That's gotta be a pretty thankless task, if you ask me.

Who takes the Kennedy's seriously any more?

[JohnT]

Eh, the guy is a congressman, and therefore is still fair game. If he'd just been another Kennedy who kills or rapes women, nobody would care.

[Odin]

That Kennedy sounds more like a rich republican than a democrat to me.

[MichaeltheGreat]

The clan is still allowed to own and operate a couple of Congressional districts.

Everyone knows they're trust fund punks, at least the main descendants, and everyone knows they get elected because of the name. Everyone also knows the current generation is a complete bunch of lightweights.

[JohnT]

Yeah, but they don't know it.
