Kennedy: battling depression, alcoholism, bi-polar disorder, cocaine, pain-killers...but who could be better for R.I.?

Why is being a Kennedy an automatic ticket to public office? I don't get it.

Patrick obviously has a problem with alcohol, pain killers...whatever else. Not an especially big deal, except for the complete double-standard from the media when compared to the similar case of Rush Limbaugh, who never smashed his car into a median (but imagine if he had!). It doesn't seem like it was just Ambien either.

Now the state Democrats are pretending that his long history of ongoing additions and mental health issues shouldn't diminish their support for him as a "competant public servant" in Congress. Nuts.
