Patches Meltdown

The son of the late Ted Kennedy -- known as the lion of the Senate -- might have been aiming for his father's legendary roar, but his emotional speech veered into Howard Dean scream territory. Video of the Rhode Island Democrat calling the news media "despicable" immediately went viral on the Internet and bloggers started buzzing. He was speaking in favor of a resolution sponsored by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan within 30 days. Kennedy accused the media of ignoring the war and obsessing over the scandal that forced Rep. Eric Massa, D-N.Y., to quit. What do you think is causing Patches' meltdown?
