With his father’s death he:
1) Inherited a ton of money so why work.
2) Doesn’t have the old man to cover for him in Congress anymore.
Indeed!
Parody: Patches by Clarence Carter (it’s on youtube):
My father was a drunk old man
I could see him with the Chivas in his hand
He put a blonde in the pond
Didn’t think he did anything wrong
Didn’t spend any time in jail, got re-elected without fail
Oh life’s not easy for a Kennedy
The pills and the booze and the broads, you see
(well, not sure about the broads in Patches’ case)
One night daddy took me to his dyin’ bed, poured himself a Chivas and in tears he said
He said Patches I’m dependin’ on you son
to pull the family through. My son it’s all left up to you
