Rep. Patrick Kennedy gave a speech on his substance abuse at a charity event. Then he went to the bar for vodka shots.
Roll Call reported:
Rep. Patrick Kennedy was spotted doing vodka shots last week at a Capitol Hill bar just hours after he spoke about his history of substance abuse at a charity event.
An HOH tipster and a pal were sitting at the bar at the Capitol Lounge around 11 p.m. on Tuesday when the Rhode Island Democrat walked in and took a seat between the pair. The tipster’s friend asked the Congressman what he was drinking, and when Kennedy replied vodka, the group ordered vodka shots, the tipster tells us.
After slamming down the first round, another was ordered, then a third. Our tipster and his friend stopped doing shots, but Kennedy drank three more until the bartender cut him off, at least from obtaining any more shots, our tipster says.
Our tipster adds Kennedy was in a lively mood, joking with others at the bar and even boasting about President Barack Obama, calling him “the best president ever.”
When our tipster countered: “Wait a second. What about your uncle?” — referring, of course, to President John F. Kennedy — the younger Kennedy jovially responded, “Oh yeah! Good one,” and slapped our tipster’s back, he says.
Rep. Kennedy is not running for reelection.

Classic Kennedy Behavior.
Do as I say, not do as I do.
They might be the first family with genetic alcoholism.
kato commented:
One has to be really, really drunk to think that the Blowhard is the best president ever.
I’d need to be pretty drunk just not to think that he’s the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on this country.

“Rep. Patrick Kennedy gave a speech on his substance abuse at a charity event.” Well, they did want an expert on the subject…
Chris commented:
The only “substance” whose “abuse” these cultural effetes are concerned about is the overuse (hence, “abuse”) of constitutionally-prescribed LIBERTY that the great unwashed masses dare exercise.
Why the gall of these little fly-over people, to think that they can dictate anything to their (ahem!) representatives.
Da noyve, da noyve of deese iggorrant peasants!
Remember November, remember November…..

As is the uncle, so is the nephew.
Richard has the floor at bartender Belushi’s place! Complains about “that 3.2 whiskey”.

daryl commented:
Should read as “was” the uncle.
Old Ted should be more or less “dried out” by now.
I know that’s crude but it’s Kennedy’s we’re talking about here.
John commented:
If he was “spotted” perhaps someone took a phone grab of him.
Where is the evidence? Otherwise this is just hearsay.
daryl commented:
Hey John,
When the shoe fits………
gus commented:
John keep your panties on. He was also spotted shouting Ni88er and spitting on black Congressmen.
So is it still hearsay??
Patman commented:
I need a drink right now… Things are going to hell all around us.
Jack commented:
It sounds like he was preparing for a vote.
Kevin P commented:
I just hope he’s not teaching anyone how to drive – over a bridge – with a young woman not his wife in the car…
I wonder if Ted met Mary Jo when he died…
BarbaraS commented:
Patrick Kennedy is the son of Ted Kennedy not his nephew. Does that make him better or worse?
Congress is full of drunks as we have seen a lot lately.
daryl commented:
I stand corrected, Barbara S.
But I’m not so sure any of these latter day Kennedys are certain who their daddy was if you can believe anything you read in ted’s book where he brags of all his conquests. Who knows what went on in those scrimmage “touch” football game dog piles.
RFK fathered a “Patrick” also, who also happened to be a congressman, albeit from Massachusetts.
“Joseph Patrick Kennedy II (born September 24, 1952) is an American businessman and Democratic politician.
He served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from the 8th congressional district of Massachusetts from 1987 to 1999. In 1979 he had founded and led Citizens Energy Corporation, a non-profit energy company until election to the U.S. House; since 1999 he has continued to lead Citizens Energy.
Named after his uncle Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., he is the eldest son of U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy and a member of the Kennedy family.”

So, what’s an “HOH tipster”? Something to do with water?

DocScience commented:
America is never so safe as when a Kennedy is in a bar drinking.
It’s when they leave that the real terror begins.
Stuart commented:
Every time I slam six shots of vodka Obama seems to me to be a pretty good president.
But then again the old hooker at the end of the bar starts to look pretty good too.
Palinfan commented:
Classic Liberal behavior – did you see Tom Brady and his silly wife Giselle Bundenhammer or whatever her name is? HE is speaking for the World Wildlife Fund, telling us to turn our lights out for Earth Day. She, a United Nations Environmental spokesperson, tells us to take the stairs instead of an elevator.
Want to barf? Google their names and hit the news section. Wait till you see the 10,000 square foot house they’re building. And WITH AN ELEVATOR! And she flies her helicopter to get around. And the house has pools, a lagoon, a six car garage, butler quarters, blah blah. She goes on to talk about how she wants to have a ton of kids.
So it’s your typical Liberal – Big Libs live like Gods while the rest of us are broke, unemployed or on the battlefield.
Palinfan commented:
BTW, DocScience, that was a hysterical comment! I admit it, I’m stealing that! This month’s BEST COMMENT EVAH!!

This man will eventually kill someone after drinking or die from the consequences of drinking. He is killing a lot of demons time and time again.
