Leaving public office is said to be as tough on a politician as being yanked from his mother's teat is for a six month old infant. Clutching a 12 year old bottle of Maker's whom he suspiciously calls his "Binky," Kennedy was last seen entering Politicians Anonymous Topless Grill in Providence. It seems like the recently departed Ted Kennedy both instilled and distilled his son.Rhode Island Democratic Rep. Patrick Kennedy will retire after eight terms in office, bringing an end to his House career just months after his father, legendary Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, passed away.
"My father instilled in me a deep commitment to public service," Kennedy said in a video announcing his retirement. "Now having spent two decades in politics, my life has taken a new direction and I will not be a candidate for re-election this year."
Pat Kennedy's life's new direction involves a desperate search for a position where his dead daddy's friends can now take care of him.
Patrick Kennedy is Ted Kennedy Lite.
All the pandering
All the bad behavior,
Only half the booze.

How many does this make that are taking their toys and going home rather than face an electoral stomp on the nuts in NOV.???
Not sure how many Forger, but it sure seems that the number keeps growing, doesn't it?
I'm sure that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree; I'll bet that Paddy Kennedy can guzzle close to 80% of his dad's liquor capacity.
That remaining 20% is the stuff of legend, nobody could match the hollow leg of the Chappaquidick Inebriate, the late Sen. Edward Kennedy.
For the record, I don't think anybody in RI is going to miss the lush anyway.
Fredd - He was re-elected seven times. They must have liked him a little. I simply cannot understand how a wasted, wanton, screwed up person like Paddy could stay in public office for so long. Perhaps it speaks worse of RI than it does for Kennedy.
Perhaps you're right, Sig. Those Paddy constituents can't be any more messed up that a typical Barney Frank or Teddy Drunkennedy voter.
