Whooa! Isn't there still a Kennedy drunk in the HR? I remember a couple of years ago a congressional Kennedy got into a tiff with a policeman after he ran through a barricade or something at 3 in the morning. Got out of the car and started telling the cop that he had to get to the HR for an important vote or something.

Of course he was whisked away and after a short stay in drunk tank was declared cured.

Isn't he still stumbling around D.C?

You’re describing “Patches” (still Congressman from Rhode Island). He also got in the news for attacking a security guard who was just doing her job at LAX (I think she was fired as a result).

Yep — that’s Ted’s son, Patrick. I guess he just doesn’t have the “mix of gravitas, ambition and celebrity” necessary to pick up the flag. Maybe he got all the bad Kennedy traits and none of the good ones.
