PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) - U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy was hit in the face with a hammer when an entrepreneur, demonstrating shock absorption, accidentally sent the hammer's head flying at Kennedy's mouth.

Kennedy received six stitches in his bottom lip after the incident Wednesday during an economic development meeting, his spokeswoman Robin Costello said.

* Cry for Secession Grows in Loudoun County

The entrepreneur, Matt Kriesel of Wisconsin, produces a shock-absorbing gel used sports-shoe inserts, tennis rackets and horse saddles. He was hitting some gel with a hammer to demonstrate how it reduces vibration when the hammer's head flew off.

"The congressman is a class act, he didn't make a fuss," said Michael McMahon, the executive director of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation who attended the meeting.

Kennedy was bleeding, so his staff took him to Memorial Hospital in Pawtucket, where he got the stitches, Costello said.

The hammer was placed under arrest with no bail set.

He was confused when he was told all Kennedys need to be "hammered"...

Yeah, that's the ticket: Gloating over an accident in which Patrick Kennedy was physically hurt will make GeeDubya a less despicable human being and a great pretzeldent.

Gotta admire that right-wing logic.

I don't think so.

As much as I despise Bush, I have never wished any physical harm on the man, and I wouldn't celebrate if it happened.
