Patrick Kennedy Wore Black-Face, Imitated Michael Jackson

Long before he was ramming his car into barricades and taking up residence at the Mayo Clinic, Congressman Patrick Kennedy was doing his best to impersonate Michael Jackson. So reports the National Enquirer.

Pictures of the then-22-year-old Rhode Island legislator have surfaced, which show him in a Jacko costume at a party held at the Virginia home of his father, Massachusetts Senator-for-Life Teddy Kennedy.

The image of a Democrat in an outfit complete with black-face, Jheri Curls and a white glove is enough to spur his political advisors to seek out his dad's wet bar.

The young Kennedy was apparently so proud of his ability to imitate Jackson that he wanted to show it off outside the confines of his father's house.

"The party wasn't crazy enough for Patrick - and he went to Georgetown in Washington to carry on drinking," a source told the National Enquirer.
