He also reminds me looks-wise of Hanoi Jane's ex-husband, the radical commie, Tom Hayden.
Most Irish guys are good-lookin' dudes, but the leftist ones I'm familiar with are as ugly as their ideologies.

Someone willing to handle this the way he has handled it - with all the BS he has strewn in the last 24 hours.- and coming from a family with a reputation for having, shall we say, less than impressive integrity and veracity - would not be above staging a clinic visit. Medical records are governed by substantial legal protection - and one could publicly announce that one was going to the Mayo Clinic, even if one were not, and the Mayo Clinic would not be able to respond - especially if Kennedy had been a patient there in the past (even if it was to repair tennis elbow). Because the privacy protections eliminate any objective confirmation of his treatment or even presence there - retreating to the "I'm in rehab" excuse is great as a PR ploy.

Thanks for the email address. So convenient I couldn't resist. My email titled "Don't forget"
As the famous Oscar Madison said, "It's jail, before bail, so you better not fail."
Nice try with the rehab distraction but really mixing your solid drugs with liquid ones
isn't very smart now is it?
No one is fooled.
Have some honor. Resign. Then do something with your life useful.

Ambien and phenergan are not considered addictive drugs. There are more drugs here than what is being reported by the Kennedys and the MSM.

The police report shows "D-1" in the space for vehicle owner, whatever that means. As I recall, in his most recent crash, the car he was driving was said to be owned by "Friends of Pat Kennedy, Inc", presumably some kind of PAC. Wonder if we will ever find out who owned the green Mustang?

Reminds me of Reagan saying he was a democrat until he got his first big paycheck.

First time I've heard booze referred to as "prescription pain medication" --- with a straight face.

He admits he has a problem ............... but not that he was drunk as a skunk.
How does rehab work in that case?
Answer: It doesn't.

Good afternoon.
I told the wife as soon as I heard him say that he hadn't been drinking that he would use that new sleepwalking-on-Ambien defense.
Instead of getting a ham sandwich from the fridge he drove to the capitol to vote.
Yeah, that's the ticket. In a civilized world, his political career would be over.
