Late Thursday night, Kennedy put out a second statement saying he had taken sleep medication and a prescription anti-nausea drug that can cause drowsiness.

Hey Rhode Islanders - WAKE THE HELL UP!

Do you really want your rep to be taking sleeping pills BEFORE HE GOES TO VOTE ??

I was at a wedding in Newport a couple of years ago. I have many cousins living in Rhode Island. I dearly love that state and my cousins. They are Democrats and Catholic. While we were talking I asked one cousin how Congressman Patrick stayed in office. She said he "brings home the bacon"

They are prolife, Catholic and very active in the church. They vote for a pro choice arrogant drunkard. His problems are well known to the citizens of Rhode Island and they keep on electing him. He is a Kennedy. When you are a Kennedy in New England, you are forgiven and elected. The people that elect Kennedy's with mulitiple mental and social problems will never change.

You can expect Patrick to have a media event and announce he will enter rehab. I would say it will be within the week.
