PATRICK KENNEDY AND THE HYPOCRISY OF THE WINGNUTS

The wingnuts are screaming about Rep. Patrick Kennedy (RI) not being given a sobriety test after he crashed into a barrier in his Mustang early this morning. They're crying, "Special treatment!"

Now I'm not one who favors any kind of special treatment because of the prestige of a man's name or position, but it's funny they didn't have the same attitude about Dick Cheney not being given a sobriety test after SHOOTING A MAN IN THE FACE and his being allowed to delay questioning about the incident until the next DAY. Cheney admitted drinking; Kennedy denies it.

For the record, Kennedy didn't hurt ANYONE.
