who is Patches and how did he get to be a Patches?

Boston conservative talk radio host Howie Carr labeled Patrick Kennedy, son of Ted, as "Patches" Kennedy. Here's some info:

Congressman Patrick "Patches" Kennedy, D-Rhode Island, son of Edward Kennedy. From the Clarence Carter song. A sarcastic jab at the Kennedy, whom Carr considers least likely to improve the family's reputation.[5]

by Church law, the children of Joan and Ted do not exist, nor do any of their offshoots. So the prayers of the faithful were not really prayers, except for Bobby’s kids.

Please.

I think that pregnancy was a real as Teddy’s neck injury - just more “image” enhancement.

As much as all of us on the thread disrespect this man, there is one thing none of us know and that is what is in his heart at the end. Don't forget about the Good thief on the day of the Crucifixion.

That's true, you're right. It is for no one to judge. I pray that Ted Kennedy made his peace with our Lord and repented.

Here's my but - as a sincere Catholic, I resent the fact that my Church has been hijacked by a small group of left radical fringe to advance it's own agenda. It is not true Catholicism, but a subverted social justice/political hierarchy.

Annulment has nothing to do with the Children as annulment means there was not a sacramental marriage. There was still a civil marriage. So the kids are not bastards.

Click on the gallery, Joan is there escorted by Patrick. He probably is the closest to her and did not abandon her.
She looks good.

I found this for you.

"Now Patrick, known to many as "Patches," is seriously mulling a run after declining once to do so. He got his nickname from famed Boston radio host and newspaper columnist Howie Carr. It comes from a blues tune by Clarence Carter that Carr found particularly appropriate for Patrick and pater familias Teddy:

"But I would remember what my daddy said
With tears in his eyes on his dyin bed.
He said, "Patches, I'm depending on you so
To pull the family through.
My son it's all left up to you.

"

Yes, and it provides cover for those Catholics who vote Democrat.

“I’m just waiting for the part where Gallagher finally takes the stage. ;)”

That would almost make it tolerable.

Of course for Ted, “Strokin’” was the more appropriate Clarence Carter song.

You put your finger on it. Michelle never wears a suit which would be the most appropriate and flattering for her to boot.
