So said Rep. Patrick Kennedy, according to the Washington Post.
What a moron! Other than the Kennedy name, how can this person be a successful politician?
Perhaps he’s surrounded by strong, skillfull and experienced advisors, ala Bush and company. It certainly works for the pubbies, why not for moronic democrats as well ? 
Gotta love the ruling class, American-style!

ROFL! A guy so stinkin’ rich that he’s got advisors to prevent his various trust funds from paying any taxes beating up on actual working people getting a break.
Friends don’t let friends drink and opine.
That assumes this story checks out as is, of course. Initial reports from booze-fueled places tend to be about as accurate as reports from bullet-filled places.
Why do so many horrible tragedys plague the Kennedy family?
Because they deserve it.

Egad, I’ve heard that argument before. I was talking to an otherwise charming girl who said “I don’t care about politics or the economy, so shut up about it.”
Aren’t you going to college, we said. The terrible economy is going to make it hard for you to get funding or get a job.
“I’m independently wealthy. I don’t have to worry about funding. And I’m going to be a vet, and people always need vets.”
But they won’t take their pets to a vet if they can’t afford it.
“Sure they will.”
Bull, said I. When it comes to deciding whether to renew Fluffy’s heartworm medication or buy that extra 12-pack of Ramen, well, Kitty can wait a month.
“I don’t think people make that sort of decision. The economy’s not going to affect me, so I don’t see why I should worry about it.”
o_O
O’course, while I’m happy to get that extra $2/week (Prez is buying me a movie ticket every month! Bless his little heart) I still don’t think it’s going to Save the Economy. IANA economist, though.
I doubt it was the “unfortunate” bleeped word that has people scratching their heads.
Yeah I didn’t get that either, the curse has nothing to do with it.
I think it was a pretty cool and honest thing for Kennedy to say. The same statement can be made about Shrub, btw.
Ah, but in Decemberland, the Republican who does this is a brilliant manager who’s supported by knowledgable experts, while the Democrat who does this is an unsuccessful moron who’s shielded by bootlicking lackeys.
Wait a minute. You mean working people are gonna get a tax cut too?
So what does this say about my apartment? It’s booze-fueled and bullet-filled.
Yeah. Just like the increase Clinton inflicted only on “the rich.”
What relation is he to the family? I’m consider myself well informed, but I had never heard of this guy until now.
His last name is Kennedy.
Big fuckin’ deal.
He’s the son of Sen. Teddy Kennedy
I stand corrected.
And appalled.
What an asshole.
Well now, as far as Bush is concerned,

Sounds like he worked to me.
Joel, please tell me you’re not really that naive.
He must be a major-league asshole.
Please explain how Joel is being naive. It’s quite clear that ol’ Dubya has worked at least a day of his life, even if he’s not exactly a model for the Working Class.
The assholic thing about Patrick Kennedy isn’t the fact that he let a “naughty” word slip (hell, I think they should be cussin’ up a storm on children’s TV, but that’s just me), or even that he “didn’t work a day in his life”… but the fact that he’s bragging about it.
Well, maybe we have different definitions of work. What’s yours?
Also, to be bragging about not working a day in your life when you’re a member of the Democratic party, the party that identifies itself with the “working man”, well…
