| After Another "Alcoholism & Addiction" Stint in Rehab, Rep. Patrick Kennedy Returns to Congress |
| 2009-07-07 |
| WASHINGTON -- Rep. Patrick Kennedy said he's "feeling healthy and strong" and plans to return to Congress Tuesday after receiving treatment at a Maryland addiction treatment center. The Rhode Island Democrat said Monday he was looking forward to returning full-time to his congressional duties. "The support and words of encouragement I have received over the past few weeks certainly help to support my efforts in recovery which I take seriously every day," Kennedy said in a statement. The congressman, who has struggled with depression, alcoholism and addiction for much of his life, checked into the Father Martin's Ashley in Havre de Grace, Md., last month. The son of Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., has called his treatment "a lifelong process." "Addiction" to what, women, power and/or drugs? If he was a trunk we not only know the dirt on the "addiction" but he would be hounded out of Congress. Does Packwood ring a bell? The congressman spent the July 4 weekend on Cape Cod visiting his father, who is battling brain cancer. Kennedy previously sought treatment after an early morning car crash near the Capitol three years ago. |

| #5 There was a story years ago that Teddy took it upon himself to be the Kennedy clans children's drug dealer, keeping a stock of whatever they wanted to try on hand. However, this backfired, as the older generation had stuck to liquor for the most part. They assumed that everything from pills, mescaline, LSD, ecstasy, and whatever, was just as harmless as alcohol. They were mistaken in this belief. Pat Kennedy will probably be lucky to make it to 60 before his liver implodes. |
