Sorry, but that photo was from 1965.
Chappaquiddick took place in 1969.

What a wimp.
Even by the exceedingly high standards of scandal pioneered by the House of Kennedy, Rep. Patrick is no JFK.
When he played bumper cars in our nation's capital at 3 in the morning, appearing intoxicated - but later insisting he was just on pills - the shnook was alone.
That is, except for his pathetic bag of excuses and his famous name, which still holds the power to get a guy out of a jam without a Breathalyzer or a body-cavity search.
Let's recap.
Kennedys, you see, never pay for their criminal recklessness. Now that Patrick has declared himself the victim, he's off limits.
"I struggle every day with this disease," he said.
Suckers!
Until now, booze, drugs and females were as inseparable on any cursed Kennedy evening as Teddy, a bottle and a missed bridge. I guess after Teddy's fateful drive into the drink at Chappaquiddick, sane women have soured on driving with a Kennedy.

ROTFL.....isn't he precious?
BTW, I hear Patrick forgot to put on his Kennedy-issue neck brace when he went before the cameras to "take responsibility."
Too bad, b/c with the brace on, all the bleeding heart Dimocrats would have drafted him for a presidential run on the spot, as a show of their "tolerance and compassion."
Are the People in Rhode Island just as dumb as the people in Massachusetts and keep electing these Kennedys?
What is it about these states?
They don't have the physical files any more--they just entered the jucy parts into computers, and they still have the hard drives.
It's the Kennedy name---exerts some kind of mysticism in the voting booth---I hear even Repubs there vote for Kennedys.

If this story had not gotten out to the public, Patrick Kennedy would not have been startled by his behavior and would not have sought any kind of treatment.
What I find so disturbing about this 'incident' is that this man goes to work drunk and/or high and writes the laws by which we common folk must live. But because he is a Kennedy, no rules or laws apply to him.
Look to the future..... how about a Kennedy/Clinton ticket.
Pat and Chelsa....
.....there were STORIES about patches that suggest that if he wasn't alone in that car, he wouldn't have been with someone like Mary Jo. If you catch my drift. ......
Can't make the post compute??? expand a little please
Just heard on FOX News this A.M. the "watch captain" had been "relieved" of his duties. A minor TEMP. thing I presume. I'm really surprised that after the Cythinia McKenney debacle, the Cap. Police didn't go "hardball" and treat him as they would ordinary folks!
"I am addicted to power. I have prostituted myself to the evils of big government, big spending, pork and earmarks and trying to appear 'moderate'. I have betrayed my constituents but more importantly my ever-loyal base."
A little light in the loafers?
Even the worst skanks have enough brains to avoid the Kennedys.Which leaves them either forcing themselves on women or hiring whores.
Kennedys - Proud sponsors of the Michael Skakel Celebrity Golf Tournament and the William Kennedy Smith Sadie Hawkins Day Barhopping Marathon.
This little extra bit wouldn't fit in my tagline.
Ted's dog's name is - and I wouldn't dare make this up - Splash.
I hear Patrick's getting a dog.
His name is Smash.
This photo is of Ted Kennedy when he was recovering from injuries sustained in a small airplane crash.
But surely he will now remember to wear his jammies under his street clothes, so he can whip that outer layer off in the event of an Ambienesia crisis. Velcro might help with the regular clothes for quick removal.
And if THESE guys are in-bred, brain dead imbiciles, what can one say about the idiots who keep ELECTING them? I suspect they're the descendents of the royalists who thought the revolution was a really bad idea.
Patrick is making a rap album entitled----"What Fools These Voters be."
Actually, Teddy got his back brace from standing up in an Aero Commander which crashed during a busted instrument approach, in which the pilot was killed as I recall, because Ted "needed" to land even though the weather was below minimums. Kennedys and airplanes (and cars) are a lethal combination.
