I heard Sen Orrin Hatch finally got Ted into a secret rehab program and Teddy is off the booze for now. What they say really did it was a doctor told him he was dying of alcoholism. I have no idea if the rumor is true that Kennedy has stopped drinking (he looks a bit better these days) but I have no doubt that Ted is an alcoholic.
Despite my distaste and utter disgust with Kennedy, I hope he stays sober for his sake. But he has yet to make amends with all the people his alcoholism has hurt over the years (that is one of the 12 steps--to make amends to those you have harmed.)
Kennedy could start with a public apology to the Kopechne family.
