Washington – Enraged Congressman Patrick Kennedy Rants on Press In House Floor [video]

Washington – During a rant that lit up the blogosphere yesterday, an enraged U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy from Rhode Island had to be gaveled quiet yesterday after ripping into what he called “despicable” media coverage of the war in Afghanistan.

House floor on a failed measure calling for the end of the war in Afghanistan.

“If anybody wants to know where cynicism is, cynicism is, there’s one, two press people in this gallery,” Kennedy shouted as he pointed up to the nearly empty press section.

“We’re talking about Eric Massa 24/7 on the TV. We’re talking about war and peace, $3 billion dollars, a thousand lives and no press? No press?

“The press, the press of the United States, is not covering the most significant issue of national importance . . . it’s despicable.”
