WASHINGTON - Representative Patrick Kennedy said he’s “feeling healthy and strong’’ and plans to return to Congress today after receiving treatment at a Maryland addiction treatment center.
Discuss COMMENTS (18) The Rhode Island Democrat said yesterday he was looking forward to returning full time to his congressional duties.

Lets start a pool.
But he is a Kennedy, so there's very little chance of that.
Yes, but for now the people of RI can again rejoice in their selection of officeholders!
No word on his sanity, however.
I heard he escaped the place just so he could vote for the Wax-Mark Crap and Tax bill.
Exactly. He’s basically being paid by the public to be a drug addict. Kennedy’s have no shame, do they.
couldn’t get an OUNCE of Dignity out of All the Male Kennedys PUT TOGETHER!!
send him a get well gift basket of alcohol and pills.
That’s right—one more crooked RAT returning to office to steal more taxpayer dollars.
Is this the same Kennedy who ran the police barricade in DC at 2.30 in the morning, saying he was in a hurry to vote? This was about two years ago I think.. what ever Kennedy that was checked into re hab the next day..
I just sent him a bottle of Dewers and a Good Luck card.
Not required in the RI-MA corridor
Supposedly the mythmakers say that “at least” Joe, Jr., was honorable.
He is an admitted cocain addict from back in his high school and college days.
and a straight razor
Rhode island: “The Enabler State”
Make a good license plate motto, eh?
The voters and fellow rats should be disgraced to put him in office. Do rat voters have any decency? He should have lost the last election after the outrageous drunk driving incident in which he claimed Congressional immunity.
He even said; “Ive never worked a day in my life”
Nice gig on the taxpayer's dime!!!
He needs to go home to a pyscho ward & stay there!!
I’ll drink to that.
