Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) slammed the media on the House floor Wednesday for covering the Eric Massa scandal non-stop while not paying attention to a resolution calling for U.S. troops to be pulled out of Afghanistan.
In a fiery speech, Kennedy said, "If anyone wants to know where cynicism is, that there's one, two press people in this gallery."
He added, "We're talking about Eric Massa 24/7 on the TV. We're talking about war and peace, $3 billion and a thousand lives and no press? No press?!"
Kennedy spoke out in favor of Rep. Dennis Kucinich's (D-Ohio) resolution to pull out troops out of Afghanistan this year.
