 Rhode Islanders in Congressman Patrick Kennedy's district are reacting to the Democrat's latest struggle with addiction. The son of Senator Edward Kennedy is entering treatment for addiction to prescription pain drugs after a middle-of-the-night car crash last week. Kennedy has entered rehab at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
| I thought that sentence should read "Kennedy has entered rehab at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota again." Hasn't he been there at least once before? But that's okay, Rhode Island. Keep voting him in. The rest of the country laughs at you, but you know in your hearts you just love the guy. |
| I thought he was getting treatment for addiction to sleeping meds, that being the Ambien he 'took' just prior to the DC car wreck. Oh well, pain meds, sleepers, likker, whatever, hope he gets cleaned up. In the meantime, he might have the sense and decency to resign from Congress so that someone from his district can do the job full-time. Addiction is a difficult demon to beat, so he ought to devote himself completely to it. |
