He admitted to having a problem and is going to seek helpAnd we should all give him a standing ovation for admitting his problem and support him for seeking help.... barf. No one held a gun to his head to pop pills or whatever. It's a disease!!! No, it's weak willed and lack of fortitude. Ah ha! FNC just said he had his wits about him to pull the get out of jail card - I'm on my way to vote in congress, blah, blah, blah. Yep, that just blew his little memory lapse.

LOL. Major Garrett is still ranting about this, says he could have said this yesterday. says it is an artful announcement. Garrett ain't buying it. I gather he thinks its a little too little a little too late. Said Kennedy has labeled himself a "victim" of presription drugs and asking for understanding as he fights his addiction, yada yada yada.

"taking full responsibility" means he gave the speech...but then hides in a clinic until all the dust settles...That's what I figured too. No responsibility for anything, just like his old man.

I couldn't help but notice that the family that he said is standing by him were nowhere to be seen at his accouncement.I was really hoping for the shot from the family home thing........LOL.
I agree, he would not be doing this if bar reciepts and witnesses had not surfaced.
No kidding!

Yes.
Garrett basically said DNC or similar pushed him to make the announcement so Kennedy can buy his way out of it by going to Mayo Clinic while you or I would face a DWI first.

Kennedy is a RAT..however, I'm seeing nothing but BS here. Rush and Kennedy are BOTH drug addicts. Yet, Rush gets the benefit of doubt? Don't know if you heard Rush today, but he was expressing that Kennedy needed to get help and how long was his family going to let him go on without help. Seems to me that he understood what the problem was.
Can you point me to any sympathetic statement Patches made about Rush's problem?

I must say the media is handling this with respect for Kennedy. Don't you wish they reported with the same when reporting on a Rep. that said .......
Can you imagine if this had been a Republican.
My opinion of Pat Kennedy's is he did not take responsibility for his actions. He said he is a victim.
I would also think double dosing on sleep drugs would put you on your tail. But what do I know.

"Another Kennedy trait....waiting OVER 24hours from the time of the crime to actually address it."
No shit. I think it is funny and I'm sure the 'dims' are pissed because this is going to suck the wind out of them spinning something horrible over Porter Goss.
All of America knows who the Kennedys are but probably few know who Porter Goss is.

I sure would like to see the DA go after Kennedy's doctor's records, like they did Rush's~
To: MIchaelTArchangel
Maybe, once he sobers up, he could be Giuliana Sgrena's new driver. That job's open, y'know.
And as for "having a hard life"...well, in fairness, c'mon, if I had his relatives, I'd stay stoned to dull the pain too.
