Democrats will reelect this rehab loser by an overwhelming majority this fall. That will tell you all you have to know about the Democrat Party.
If his last name were Bush, this would be all over the news about a "Bush family culture of addiction."
But since it is a Kennedy, it is "hush, hush."
The apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.
This guy looks like a punk kid we used to throw in garbbage cans in school.
Freepers,
give this poor bastard a break! he can't help it; drinking, drugs, womanizing, lying about it, is embedded in his genes and DNA.
Besides it's Bush's fault, had Prez Bush been pro-choice, the entire Kennedy clan could have been.... never mind!
MSM will provide a true account of events within the next few days.
My husband has talked with two Massachusetts people in different settings here in Texas and they are truly offended if you speak ill of the Kennedy's. The only thing that my husband can come up with as to a reason is they feel the Kennedy's, Ted mostly, have brought home the bacon to their state. It's truly a puzzle and I wonder what that bacon is?

A mature Sen. TED KENNEDY's getting Congress to cut off all U.S. funding for a then Free South Vietnam to fight for its own Freedom with long ago...
...brought upon us for all to see:

And he just knew better, for a young Sen. TED KENNEDY was there in 1965 to see what the Vietnam War was really all about.
And we Freedom fighting 1st Cav Skytroopers showed him Big Time.

(See 5th Picture down of TED's excellent adventure in Vietnam 2 years after JFK's Assasination, long before Sen. TED KENNEDY went a little off the deep end as man was about to walk on Earth's Moon, thanks to his brother)

FoxNews reports that P Kennedy was seen at 2 different bars that morning.
[Yet Kennedy can't remember anything, except that he was late for a vote and he took 2 different prescriptions.]
Is there a single malt scotch or an Irish whiskey that has a name that sounds like "ambien"? Maybe there is a small distillary called "Ambayan" or something like that?
Since when did the taxpayer-funded US Coast Guard become the Kennedy's private 'Ho Removal Water Taxi?
As is, they have power, and some influence, but it is blunted by their personal history and actions.
If Ted Kennedy did not like to drink, and party he may well have become President of the United States. As is, he is a Senator. A powerful position true, but with limits on what he can do.
I once observed that the main stream media has not done those on the left a favor by not holding them up to the same standards they do with those on the right.
A politician on the right knows that if they are caught doing something wrong, they will be publicly exposed, and figuratively ran out of town on a rail. Those on the right are not (necessarily) better men, they just know they will not be given a pass, as those on the left will.
So any social brake that would modify bad behavior is not available for Democrats, and people being people, they continue to act badly.
Letting someone get away with bad behavior (as any parent of a toddler knows) is not the best way to insure future good behavior.
Pat Kennedy is the face of the Democratic party. I did not make this so, they did when they decide to defend rather then condemn his action.
Rhode Island...another state that should be voted off the island. Too bad the Founders didn't write such a mechanism into the Constitution.
How in the world has this man functioned as a US Congressman with his addiction?
Like father like son.
You know what I don't understand - why don't rich drunks just get drivers?
The New England tradition: reward the Kennedy with a lifetime seat.
