Patches Kennedy Gets The Joke
 HT Michelle, Via H/AA Democratic official says Rep. Patrick Kennedy has decided not to seek re-election for his seat representing The official spoke to The Associated Press only on the condition that his name not be used because he was not authorized to speak ahead of the official announcement. but his name was "Matrick Fennedy" The decision by the eight-term congressman comes less than a month after a stunning Republican upset in the race for the Massachusetts Senate seat his late father, Edward Kennedy, held for almost half a century. what's more stunning is that this tool had eight terms Patrick Kennedy has been in and out of treatment for substance abuse since crashing his car outside the U.S Capitol in 2006. Still, he has been comfortably re-elected twice since then, after making mental health care his signature issue in Washington. and who would know better, than a frequent recipient of the care? Bottom line? Genes, like jeans, fade with time Future career advice, Patrick? Yes. Most people will want fries with that. Hey, I struggle with mental health too, but no one's elected me to the US senate. I should hope he has more to recommend himself than a Kennedy name and mental illness.
