US Representative Patrick Kennedy – who faces a Republican challenger and
slipping popularity, according to a new poll – threw the Kennedys’ first stone
at newly elected US Senator Scott Brown, calling his candidacy “a joke.’’ (Patrick Kennedy: 'Scott Brown is a joke')
The Rhode Island Democrat was the first of the Kennedy family to openly criticize the newly sworn in
Brown, who succeeded the congressman’s father, US Senator Edward M. Kennedy. The
younger Kennedy slammed Brown for pressing to be sworn in early, a move that
Democrats believe was timed so that Brown could vote against President Obama’s nominee to the National Labor Relations Board.
“Brown’s whole candidacy was shown to be a joke today when he was sworn in
early to cast his first vote as an objection to Obama’s appointment to the NLRB,’’ Kennedy told a blog
for the congressional newspaper, The Hill, on Thursday. He
suggested that a vote against the nominee would disappoint many of Brown’s
supporters.
(Patrick isn't only ripping US Senator Scott Brown but all who voted for him. What a way to please the voters. This shows the Democrats are out of touch with most Americans.)
