#1 Maybe they can work in an ethics transplant and tune up his shame and truthy glands while he's there.

I suggest that addiction to a lack of responsibility is, by far, the larger demon in this twerp's basement.

#2 Hmm.... If it were you or me we would be doing 30 days (at least on the DUI) and a mandatory 'Drug Rehap.

If it were a republican there were be calls for his head on a pike in front of the capitol building.

#4 I hate to say it but the dude is undermedicating. Apparently he has bipolar disorder but is NOT on anything for that. b

It's amazing that, despite these challenges, he's the best man to represent half of RI in congress. I've been to the state and met many seemingly solid citizens who seem like they could do it if they had to. I must have been in the other guy's district.

#5 Booze, pills and lying: the only element missing would be a dead campaign worker. But this Kennedy is still young, there's still time to outdo dear old Dad.

#7 Addiction to pills and booze is nothing next to the addiction to public office in that family

#9 Just another public bridge to cross for the Kennedys. Means little more to them than time away from golf and sailing.

#10 Good luck on the long drive to Minnesota, Congressman.

#11 I wouldn't fault the guy for going to the Mayo clinic. But he's a lying sack of shit, just like the rest of the Kennedys. First he denies everything, then he cant remember the wreck, then he's sorry, then he's back to "no comment", ect, ect, ect.

#13 Well, at least we know that the caddys on the rehab centers golf course are going to be very, very well tipped.

I like "the car doesn't drive far from the bridge" better.

#17 Seven out of the ten voices in his head agreed that a trip back to the spin dry away from prying eyes might garner some sympathy. Chock another vapor scandal up to ole "inner-demons in all us" excuse.

#18 I feel for the guy but letting him circumvent the rules will not help him.

#19 I really do not give a rat's behind if he cleans himself up or not. I do not care wheter he lives or dies. All I ask of him to do is to not be a driver of a motor vehicle. He could have just as easily run some innocent soul over and killed them.

#20 What can you say. Everything about this is a depressing statment about our elected government, political parties, law enforcement and the idea of eqaul treatment under the law.

The country is broke and sending it to the Mayo Clinic isn't going to fix it. This adult they pretend is a "kid" will not be fixed there either.

#21 Well, so long as he wasn't under the influence of alcohol.
