Representative Patrick 'Patches' Kennedy yesterday called Scott Brown's candidacy "a joke".
Among other thoughts... candidacy? Isn't he a bit late? Brown's candidacy would seem to have ended with... his election! You'd think "Patches" might have noticed that part, inasmuch as three of Brown's top campaign strategists immediately went to work for his opponent, John Loughlin, the Rhode Island state rep who will be challenging 'Son of Camelot' this November. But this is the same genius who repeatedly referred to the Kennedy Clan's last, best hope to hold the late Duke of Chappaquiddick's seat as "Marcia" instead of Martha.
How can anyone, anywhere, take this guy seriously?
Whatever you think of Brown, despite some foibles in his youth he's displayed a seriousess of purpose, some actual core beliefs, and a personal record of accomplishment. 'Patches' will never be accused of any of those things; except perhaps the "youthful foibles" bit, and that act is growing a bit stale.
No matter why people voted for Brown - or what he does over the next 2-1/2 years - his election was quite significant; and one of the things it may well signify is the end of Patrick Kennedy's joyride - speaking of jokes - as a Congressman. I wonder if the MSM will refer to the 1st Congressional District in Rhode Island as the "Kennedy Seat" this Fall?

Are you aware of the newly published Channel 12 Prov. poll? Patches #s are tanking-and surprisingly w/ the over 60 demographic! The healtcare had a lot to do w/ that I'm sure- but I suspect his petulant and idiotic tiff w/ Bishop Tobin I'm sure is playing a role as well. Gonna be an interesting fall election
