Remember the old PSA about a kid copying what his father did--and then the last shot was the Dad lighting up a cigarette? "Like father, like son....Like father..."
Well...like father, like son here too.
Yet another down-generation Kennedy example of inbreeding and too much money.
Drug addiction are God’s way of telling you you have too much money.
Did he cast a vote on the way to the tank so he couldn’t be arrested for DWI?
So he stresses the “importance of removing any stigma associated with mental illnesses”. Sounds like he wants a free pass for ill people like him to be elected. There must be something bigoted about the voters if they don’t vote for the mentally ill.
Well...like father, like son here too.
Since so many Kennedys have chemical abuse problems, I wonder if they get a discount for their rehab.
MSM: Democratic congrssman with lifelong drug addiction problem. Nothing to see here. We don’t even need to tell you what he is addicted to. Speaking of addicited, radio host Rush Limbaugh was as one time addicted to prescription pain killers. He should be arrested, prosecuted, and thrown in jail.
Kennedy: what drug problem?
Limbaugh: crucify him.
At least the MSM is still consistent.
When it’s a Kennedy it’s, “Poor Kennedy’s. We ALL have these issues at one time or another”. With any conservative it’s, “Loser. Can’t control his own life! Doesn’t have the character to hold public office”.
I certainly wish Mr. Kennedy well in facing his challenges, but I think it's high time he realized that someone with this extensive list of pathologies isn't even fit to work as my receptionist -- let alone serve in a governing capacity in the most powerful nation in the world.
just another chip off the Kennedy block, eh?
Hey, Willow says there is still hope Teddy... 
will give Dave a lift home some dark and stormy night.
Thanks for toon, Blackie... 
the next round is on you!
I wish him the best but is this the best the nation has to offer for our political leaders?
The Kennedy family is like the Bonaparte family was in France: because one member of the family was talented, the others have a sense of entitlement.
Kennedy left for treatment earlier this week, said a close associate who didn’t want to be identified.
Since the 2006 incident, the associate said, Kennedy often goes to the Mayo Clinic for one- or two-day stints without anyone knowing.
This time, Kennedy and his aides realized the stay would be longer and more aggressive and decided to put out a statement.
There was no “culminating event” this time, the associate said, and he did not think it was related to Edward Kennedy’s ongoing battle with brain cancer.
“He’s human,” the source said of Patrick Kennedy. “He has good days and bad days. This is a part of his effort to make sure there are more good days than bad days.”

...I got a hunch he’s cleaning up because he wants Teddy’s seat...the Kennedys feel it’s their hereditary right to have that seat in the Senate....they’re such pukes; the whole lot of them!
I wonder what he was caught doing while under the influence to trigger another vacation in the Kennedy wing of the Mayo Clinic?
If he was a Republican, this would be on every channel.
People of Rhode Island need to get rid of him!
It’s okay people. He’s a Kennedy and a member of Congress. He doesn’t go by the rules.
Translation: Got caught screwing someone else’s wife!
