Patches should be going to jail, no rehab. Do you think any one of us would get the special treatment this spoiled little rich snot is getting? Of course, Daddy got away with killing Mary Jo, so I'm sure Patches internalized that lesson long ago: the law doesn't apply to Kennedys. Send him an email at patrick.kennedy@mail.house.gov and let him know what you think.

Everyone, watch the pea under the shell. I move it here, then here, then ah, what was the drug Patches was supposed to be on that is the reason he is going to rehab?

What was in his system when he crashed the car?

I move it here, then here, then here...

Why did Patches tell the police officer he was heading to Congress for a vote? In his fogged state he probably remembered they can't arrest you on the way to a vote... :-)

If the Democrats ran the House he could have made a call on his cell phone and gotten the House back into session at 3 in the morning, but the call into Speaker Pelosi didn't seem to work.... :-)

I move it here, then here, then, OK, for five bucks, where is it? :-)

Yes, i am wondering if there will be a three year investigation into doctor shopping.

I'm not even a huge Rush fan, but evryone else famous who got addicted to painkillers was treated as a tragic hero. Brett Favre is the one who always comes to mind.

Whatever becomes of Kennedy, the police who covered for him should all be fired and tried for corruption.

Okay ... I'm trying to fully grasp this situation. Kennedy will enter rehab for addiction to pain medication. Yet, neither of the two drugs he admits to taking the 'prescribed dosage' of are pain medications. Are they trying to tell us that, even though he is addicted, he had taken absolutely no pain meds that evening? This just stinks to no end and Kennedy will come out smelling like a rose.

Love the new slogan on Drudge:

I'd rather hunt with Dick Cheney than ride with a Kennedy!

Seriously, by tomorrow the MSM will consider this old news and go back to badgering Rush.

That "on my way to a vote" story was worked out between Kennedy and a lawyer long before this incident happened, no doubt. They knew he would get stopped eventually.

That would certainly make sense. Not much you can do to a congressman on his way to a vote.

Was it Michael Savage who said one bumper sticker means you are passionate, two means you are an activist, three or more means you have a mental condition?
