"I know that I need help," the Rhode Island Democrat said at an afternoon press conference, detailing what he called a long-term struggle with depression and addiction. "I struggle every day with this disease, as do millions of Americans," Kennedy said.
Uh-huh. It's not the first try; Kennedy was just at the Mayo over Christmas for prescription pain killers, and said he got out "reinvigorated and healthy." I wonder if they'll give him the same medical records/court treatment that Limbaugh got...
Whenever a druggie gets into trouble, he tries to high-tail it into rehab so that he can avoid any serious repercussions in court. This phenomenon seems to be directly related to the "race card."
I think I'll start calling it the rehab card. Yeah, that sounds good. Patrick Kennedy just flopped the rehab card.
Meanwhile, Captiol Police are under fire for not putting Kennedy's feet to it by not even administering so much as a sobriety test; rather, they gave him a pat on the head and a ride home.
"Upon review, it has been determined that in the initial stages supervisors employed improper judgment," it said.
"Corrective administrative and personnel action has been taken. The Capitol Police remain committed to impartial and fair enforcement of laws and impartial and fair treatment of all citizens."
"I think he was extended a courtesy by virtue of his position," said Lou Cannon, president of the local Fraternal Order of Police chapter. Cannon was not at the scene of the crash.
Ya think?
