Rep. Pat Kennedy Slams Media For Covering Eric Massa Over Afghan War

Kennedy screamed, “There’s one, two press people in this gallery…we’re talking about Eric Massa 24/7 on the TV. We’re talking about war and peace. $3 billion; one thousand lives and no press! No press!” Rarely does one see such passion on the House floor, and now you can via the magic of Internet video!
