Capitol View

Rep. Kennedy hit in face with hammer

Posted at 12:58 PM on April 13, 2006 by Bob Collins

Ha ha. Made you look. It's Patrick Kennedy.

It's slow today.

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that a congressman needs to have a demonstration on how a hammer works. OK, yeah, that's a cheap shot for the quick laugh (I can make a good living off that). The guy was actually demonstrating some shock absorbtion gel that's used in shoes.

Anyway, the hammer head fell off, which wouldn't have happenened probably, if they still made 'em in New Britain, which, for the record, is not in young Kennedy's district.
