Representative Kennedy Ends Rehab
2006-06-06
Representative Patrick Kennedy said today that he felt much better after almost a month's treatment for drug dependency in the Mayo Clinic, and that he was looking forward to resuming his duties. But he said that he continues to suffer from mental illness that leads to addiction, and will need help from a support group to avoid a relapse. "The key to recovery will be a small group of people who will watch over me," he said at a televised news conference that was accessible via the Internet.
Might be easier on your recovery, Mr. Kennedy, if you found a less stressful job to engage your mind and energy. And your constituents might benefit from having a full-time member of Congress. Just sayin', that's all.

#10  100 bucks sez he kills someone in his lifetime by driving drunk (including himself). 30 days was PR, not rehab. Shame on RI for sending him back

#7  Great. Now he gets to hang out with "dad", who could possibly be the most nondisciplined man in American history.
I need an over/under on relapse.

#6  Now if they can only get Teddy and RFK jr. into some kind of program. If you haven't seen RFK Jr's whiny rant about the stolen Ohio election is very entertaining.

#5  "I see you're out of rehab."

"Yes, Uncle Ted."

"Let's drink to that!"

#4  If this were you or me we would be facing some serious jail time - and not in Club Fed either.

Since when has any Kennedy given a chit about their 'constituents'...

#2  You forgot he is rich 3dc. He is cured when his ass is out of a sling with the law and has the money to say so. Anyone else would be facing jail time and big fines. This is typical rich liberal BS.

#1  That is not near long enough. A good drug rehab takes at least 2 years.
