How long do you think the MSM will be able to go in any given story about this without mentioning Rush Limbaugh? I say three lines.

Shouldn't that say Patrick Kennedy, D-UI?...What's the goofy sticker to the right of the Gephardt one? Where's the one for his dad's re-election campaign (Ted's up for re-election thir yr)?

Somehow or another, I doubt it. :)

For what it's worth, I hope the rehab is successful.

The presser was a real howler--he said he was going into rehab for addiction to prescription pain killers, then aid he took an Ambien to get to sleep that night, and said he didn't remember anything about his contact with the cops. A M.D. on Fox just said Ambien doesn't leave people red eyed, but alcohol does. The turd clearly didn't fall very far from the old bull.

They certainly have painted themselves into the corner on this one.

Waiting to see how they spin this one and how it is different from Rush.
