“Patches” Loses It
My favorite congressman blew his stack on the house floor today and went after the media’s coverage of the Massa scandal. He was speaking in support of a resolution put forth by Dennis Kucinich that calls for the withdrawal of Americans from Afghanistan by the end of this year and he was critical of the fact that the media was devoting more time to Massa than Afghanistan. I just saw the video played on CNN and it is quite entertaining. He is throwing around papers, his face is beet red, and he is practically foaming at the mouth. Beautiful. If anybody has seen this posted anywhere on the web, post the link in the comments section and I will add it to the post.
I don’t think Patrick Kennedy really cares too much about what happens in Afghanistan. He was just looking for an excuse to throw a tantrum and get some attention for himself. This guy is a joke and I think that the majority of Democrats in Congress are going to be glad to see him gone at the beginning of next year.

Clearly, he needs to get back on his Lithium.
I thought that Kucinich would be too busy making toys for next christmas…badoom cha!
Maybe Lil Patties alcohol level is getting too low and he is going through DTs.
All Pat needs is a good snorkeling.

Holy shit!!! Spork, I looked like an idiot sitting in my car and laughing@ you
calling Kennedy “patches”!!! He really needs to quit the sauce!!
Atta boy, Patches–go out with a bang, not a whimper, you stupid fuck.
BTW–link to the vote:
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2010/roll098.xml
And surprise, surprise, surprise…5 Republicans joined the 60 Democrats who voted in favor of this POS resolution:
John Campbell (CA-48)
John Duncan (TN-2)
Tim Johnson (IL-15)
Walter Jones (NC-3)
and…drum roll please…
RON PAUL (TX-14)
Nice going, numbnuts. Please, I invite any Ronulan to try and explain to me how his foreign policy stand makes any sort of sense whatsoever.
Sparks, don’t hold you breath, I think the Paulistinians have crept back into the bat cave until they next see the bat signal in the sky.
Cannot take credit for this one Defend USA.
UpNorth–then I say it’s time to fill the cave with methane and throw in a match, or just drop in an FAE. The sooner this clown (Paul, but you can throw in a few others too) is removed from any and all conversation regarding “conservatism”, the GOP, and fades away (or better yet, detonates spectacularly), the better off the adults will be.
At least we’ll be rid of the Kennedy influence in Congress for the first time in nearly 60 years come January.
From the link it looks like Kennedy actually ended up voting against it. He just wanted to rant for a little while apparently.
Geesus…apparently, I need glasses on top of contacts! That’s the second time this week, I read someone else’s name…Sorry OD. But good God, I was just beside myself!!
He looks just like his dead drunk relative, teddy. Too bad he cannot see his way clear to throw a gasket and follow in teddy’s footsteps.
Patches! Ha Ha! I take it you’re a Howie Carr fan? Me too.
Sparky, I agree, the FAE seems like a reasonable option.
Proof that they’ve crawled back in the cave? My post was up over 24 hours now and no one has come around, telling us that Paul is the “one true conservative” in D.C. Or attacking all of us for being closet libs for not recognizing the sheer genius that is Ronpaul.
