Smack too, I believe.

There are few Kennedy's that haven't had a problem with alcohol and drugs

That family is a mess

The Kennedy family, on balance - has been an insufferable albatross around the neck of this country....

A family with far more money and influence than their abilities or character warranted...

The silly bastards prove that, on an almost monthly basis..

Semper Fi

What I’d like to see from Kennedy is his long-overdue resignation from the House of Representatives

You and millions of us.

"How, I wonder, did it come to pass that we’ve become a tabloid society?"

In a word, 'feminism'. We are a feminist culture and that's why we're also a tabloid society. The biggest 'news' in our tragically shallow country seems to be Britney Spears' latest sexcapades and Brad Pitt's latest flusey. It's a moral and intellectual shallowness that is the by-product of silly women and the culture of feminism.

Patches didn't stay very long at his 'Recovery Center'.
What a joke and cover up of facts. Modern day 'Rat tactics.

That would wipe out the mASSachusets navy of one and his lil bubby gilliganagain, and leave them open to an invasion of moral conservative representation!

Any chance of a House/Senate double?

Apparently, both father and son will have to go willingly or die in office, because voters in their respective states continue to reelect them.

Makes one glad the Clintoons only had one kid. Another 'dy-nasty' like the Kennedys is more than I could stomach.

I disagree - Britain is a tabloid society but I would not say overtly feminist.

I would say it is the acceptance of immoral behaviour and TV glorifying in it.

All story-lines in major shows have at one time or at the same time shown sex outside marriage, divorce, homosexuality etc etc.

It desensitizes us in general to immoral behaviour and because we see it regularly on the box we have grown to accept it as inevitable that this is how society is.

Excellent article. We watch little TV.

Yep, we are in a 'Soap Opera' culture. I have said for years, at least 30, that 'Soap Opera's and Talk Shows' rot your brain. They make dunces out of the constant viewers.

The fact that he’s going back to the Mayo Clinic for a second round of rehab is supposed to provide an inspiration for all the other addicts.

The above applies of course only to liberal celebs hooked on illegal drugs they started taking for fun. However, conservatives addicted to legal pain killers taken for 24/7 pain should be imprisoned.

Ted Kennedy has harmed the country more than any man in history that was not President. IMO
