What a wimp.
Even by the exceedingly high standards of scandal pioneered by the House of Kennedy, Rep. Patrick is no JFK.
When he played bumper cars in our nation's capital at 3 in the morning, appearing intoxicated - but later insisting he was just on pills - the shnook was alone.
That is, except for his pathetic bag of excuses and his famous name, which still holds the power to get a guy out of a jam without a Breathalyzer or a body-cavity search.
Let's recap.
Kennedys, you see, never pay for their criminal recklessness. Now that Patrick has declared himself the victim, he's off limits.
"I struggle every day with this disease," he said.
Suckers!
Until now, booze, drugs and females were as inseparable on any cursed Kennedy evening as Teddy, a bottle and a missed bridge. I guess after Teddy's fateful drive into the drink at Chappaquiddick, sane women have soured on driving with a Kennedy.

How does he know he didn't drink any booze? He says he doesn't remember anything, getting up, getting dressed, driving, (while blind) car lights were off, just missed a cop, wrong way on a one way....Just how does he know?
To add on to your post, Ted was pulled out of the wreckage of the plane by Sen. Birch Bayh, father of the current Indiana senator. Bayh and his wife were not seriously injured in the crash.
Just how does he know? Easy. His campaign manager told him.
They sure didn't give Rush this type of treatment did they?
And you still won't see them acknowledge Rush with respect towards his problem....nope, its easier to set double standards than to face the facts....just like a slimy lib....
As a Rhode Islander, I apologize for Patches to be a member of Congress!
See, that eeevvvil drug not only put him in a dddeeeep sleep, it also managed to (shudder) CHANGE him from his jammies into his street clothes before FORCING him to get into his car and....well, you know the rest.
Now, can we stop focusing on Patches and start looking into the #1 cause of most of our problems today in America?
We need to hold hearings on the dangers of - Ambien!
Lucky kid inherited the family jowls. Seriously, a glance at this guy's face and bad hair makes me long for the ever so aristocratic John Kerry. (/s)
Them there are some seriously bad genes.
It doesn't appear that Patches is going to pass any of them on but Lawd knows there are enough of the rest of them breeding that our childrens' children will be hearing about Kennedys. Dismal thought.
