He's joining rehab.
If Mr. Kennedy is heading into Rehab - then I wish him and his family the best of luck with the recovery.
I am no Kennedy fan - but I do wish him well.
This just keeps getting better..

Mayo Clinic here I come
Ah yes, Patches Kennedy, a man too stupid to recognise that his life is consumed with futility.
Regards, Ivan
What a jerk. Yep, his "stomach" meds were in a bottle labeled "Meet My Little Friend". Oh, poor widdle thing. He can't remember anything so he's not at fault. Sure, it's sleep driving, yep, uh huh, I believe it.
Not.
Is he deaf or does he think we are? He seems to be yelling. Wonder if he's on that drug Rush was on that causes deafness? Can't remember what it's called.
Too bad Rat constituents don't bother to keep up with current events, and keep reelecting Rat losers.
If they happen to hear negative information about their representative, they just blame it on the right's hate speech/racism/xenaphobism/homophobism/et.al... and unworthy of their attention.
If they see proof, then their particular elitist representative deserves "understanding."
He was treated in 1986 for cocaine addiction as a teenager.
Shouldn't they still do a blood test on him? To see exactly what drugs he actually was using?
This clown, Patches Kennedy, is lucky he did this in Washington, D.C., USA and not in any other capital city in the world.
Driving erratically, at 3 a.m., with no lights, at a high rate of speed into a barrier meant to protect the Capitol. How would the police anywhere else have reacted? Probably with automatic weapons fire to stop a potential terrorist attack.
I wonder if he dad leant him a slightly used neck brace left over from Chappaquidick to wear.
I'll say this much: those Kennedy's sure know how to get out of trouble, don't they?
Heard the apologists falling all over themselves yesterday on (Patches)Kennedy's behalf. Bob Becke on Fox: "He's a good guy. It's a disease. Besides, he's manic depressive." (So give him a break. However, Patches swears he wasn't drinking, although the cop said he smelled alcohol when Kennedy got out of the car. Howie Carr on WRKO says this is the second serious traffic accident in three weeks for Patches, who isn't the brightest bulb in the box. And then there's Patch's mother, who's life is a wreck, thanks to alcohol and having been married to Fatso.
Hannity on Fox said the accident reminded him of Fatso and Chappaquidick, where Fatso left a young woman to drown in that car, didn't inform cops until the morning, 9 hours later, although he burned up the motel phone lines all night with some 45 calls to his lawyers. Beckel said, basically, "Tut, tut, no comparison." But there certainly is a valid comparison, and it has to do with the myth of the Kennedy curse, privilege, power, and stupidity. Everyone has given that family a pass for everything in life that requires self control, denial, or effort. There are absolutely no consequences for a Kennedy for drunk driving, even if someone is killed.
All their lives people cover up for them -- cheating at school, doing drugs, underage drinking, whatever. Those standards and rules keep us from harm, they help us develop character, integrity, the things needed to meet life's challenges, and the Kennedy's lose out in the long run. John Kennedy Jr. died with his wife and sister in law because he wasn't experienced enough to fly his plane, but his instructor didn't feel able to say NO, to insist on flying them himself that evening. So they're all dead. There is no 'Kennedy curse'. It's stupidity. Over and over again.
Two weeks ago a kid in my town in MA. drove home from an afternoon of good times and a few beers, and on a dark winding road, crossed the center line and hit another car head-on, killing the passenger and her unborn child. This is a good kid, no record, never been in trouble. His family is the salt of the earth, but the cops will throw the book at him. He won't get out of prison for years. His life is over. Patches Kennedy should thank God he didn't kill anyone two nights ago. But, never mind, he 'wasn't drinking'. It was 'an accident. He mixed up prescription drugs, Ambion and whatever.' The cops on the case weren't allowed to administer a field sobriety test, a supervisor pulled them off the case, and Patches was driven home. (If I were Cynthia Mckinney, I'd be screaming bloody murder. Where's Jesse Jackson?)
The fact that Kennedy was driven home by the MPDC police, instead of to the hospital first for a blood draw is criminal.
