He came to Congress with a tremendous amount of promise, and it hasn't really worked out for him." Unreal.

Patches isn't the brightest bulb in the box. That's why people feel sorry for him. He's a dope. (Read any column about Patches by Howie Carr, who also calls Wm. Kennedy Smith, 'Sluggo'.)

Forget politics, it's gotta be miserable to come from a family who didn't want a child for the child, but wanted another politician(or athlete, etc) in the family. For God's sake, he had Teddy as a father and role model. I would have left home at 11.

Well my question is this:
"Are the people of Rhode Island going to keep electing him like Mass-a-chits have done with the swimmer?"

The Democratic operative said: "He's like the boss' son who sort of falls into the family business and doesn't really belong." He needs to find another job.

>But another D.C. Democrat, who has worked closely with Kennedy, was more sympathetic. "I felt he has always been
striving to live up to people's expectations of what a Kennedy should be. The weight of that must be tremendous."
Looks like he's nailed it.

To think how this would have hurt poor Rose.
To lose three boys before their time.
And the grandchildren having such problems.
This poor family has suffered so.
It's a sin, I tell ya.

Patrick certainly HAS lived up to what people expect of Kennedy's.
Debauchery, treachery, and a lack of honor.

"He walks around as though he has the weight of the world on his shoulders," the consultant said. "He's had these unfortunate brushes with the law and with addiction. He came to Congress with a tremendous amount of promise, and it hasn't really worked out for him." And whose fault is that...?"

>>not many years past his drug and alcohol treatment and his testimony in cousin William Kennedy Smith's 1991 Palm Beach rape trial
I think this is when Howie Carr started calling him Patches.
It was important that he give his testimony to get his cousin off those charges: Patches, I'm depending on you son, to pull the family through. My son, it's all left up to you.
He hasn't filed papers yet but a guy named Edmund Leather announced on a RI radio talk show that he's running against Patches (announced the day BEFORE the incident)
2004:"About 40 Republicans, including East Providence-resident Edmund Leather, boarded a bus to Derry, N.H., last weekend to volunteer for the Bush-Cheney campaign."

His consitutents and our nation would be much better served if he were replaced by THIS Patrick, who is much sharper:

I wonder what the reaction from the MSM would be if a Republican congressman did the same thing as Kennedy did.
Actually, I don't wonder at all. I know the liberal pundits would be demanding a that the congressman resign and a full blown investigation of the incident if the congressman in question would have been a Republican.

they are all idiots. The Kennedys are mostly screw ups. Gained their wealth with unsavory activities, and now people keep admiring them like they are something special.
I was told they paid very Little Inheritance tax on the estate when the old man died.

"I felt he has always been striving to live up to people's expectations of what a Kennedy should be. The weight of that must be tremendous." Looks to me like he has met those expectations.
