The Rhode Island Democrat broke a small bone in his hand earlier this month during a charity event in Middletown. Kennedy was appearing at the “Relay for Life,” an event sponsored by the American Cancer Society on May 10, said Robin Costello, Kennedy’s spokeswoman. The injury occurred while Kennedy was participating in a martial arts demonstration, said Costello. “He broke a bone in his hand,” said Costello. His arm has been in a splint because of the injury. Patrick Kennedy and several other members of the Kennedy clan visited its scion after he suffered a seizure and was hospitalized at Massachusetts General. Among them were the senator's niece, Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy Jr.

At least he didn't injure it by pushing security guard at LAX.
I guess that's why he "never worked a [bleeping] day in his life."
Fragile, ain't he?

Charming, never worked. Seems he was out working for charity when this happened, when was the last time you did that? Let me guess, never?
And being Rep is an actual job, you know.

Sorry trudi, most of us who have real jobs do not consider "appearing at the 'Relay for Life,' an event sponsored by the American Cancer Society" to be WORK. [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/work]
Charitable work would be that of the minions of hospital and nursing home workers who take care of aging patients, at probably 10-30% of the paycheck of Patches. God bless these people for showing up to work day after thankless day.
Charitable workers also include people like my friend who just celebrated 10 years of sobriety in AA, and who still goes to rehab facilities all over the state week after week, spreading the message of recovery to alcoholics and drug addicts. Mike has never received a dime for his efforts, and you're not likely to see his smiling face with a coterie of constituents on the front page of ProJo any more than you are likely to run into him at Capital Grill with the playahs.
Look up Lazarus and Abraham in your spare time.
