You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried.

The ghost was his unborn sister, the daughter of Mary Jo

Is Patrick married?

[pjsbro]

Is this why he couldn't remember getting out of bed?

[veronica]

The thot plickens...

Drip, drip, drip.

Patches: Victim deserving of sympathy

Rush: Criminal deserving of prison

Capitol police officers stopped Kennedy after he hit the barricade and drove him home without administering field sobriety tests.

What was Ted Kennedy's angry quote about there being one standard for the elite, and another for the ordinary citizen?

[jennyjenny]

She's lucky she didn't go with him.

[ElkGroveDan]

“I’ve got to do total abstinence, period. From now on, obviously, I’m a very public face with addiction and alcoholism written on my head.”

What do alcoholism and addiction have to do with a bad mix of legal prescriptions?

One of these stories is a lie.

[trashcanbred]

The "Kennedy apples" sure don't fall far from the tree do they?

He's only saying this to counter everyone else who's claiming he was drinking at a bar.

This story is to try to take your mind away from the facts.

[Bob]

From now on, obviously, I’m a very public face with addiction and alcoholism written on my head.

Oh, c'mon. Borrow a line from Gov. McGreevey(sp?) -- 'I am an addicted-American'. It would sound better.

I was born and raised down in alabama on a farm way back up in the woods.

oh I was so ragged folks used to call me "patches". papa used to tease me about It, but deep down inside dad was hurtin' 'cause he'd done the best he could.

My papa was a great old man

I can see him with a shovel in his hand

Education that he never had

But he did wonders when the times got bad

The little money from the crops we raised

Barely paid the bills we made

Oh life whipped him

Down to the ground

When he tried to get up

Life would kick him back down

On the day papa called me

To his dyin' bed

Placed his hand on my shoulders

And in tears he said

Patches

I'm depending on you, son

To pull the family through

My son, it's all left up to you

[debg]

So...Patches "Stud" Kennedy has a woman over in the wee hours and takes a sleeping pill?

[Eroteme]

The article says: "But he said he does not recall taking the sleep aid Ambien - even though he assumes he must have."

This Ambien stuff is worse than we thought. It starts working before you even take it.

[uncitizen]

Has anyone heard why he was taking a medication to prevent vomiting/nausea?

Another article said he had 'stomach illness'. But which one?

[kstewskis]

The next step for Kennedy, he said, is, “I’ve got to do total abstinence, period.

Isn't that the idea from the first round of rehab?
