Kennedy faces new scrutiny after crash, drug rehab | ||
2006-06-07 | ||
U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy's famous last name has always guaranteed him a share of the public spotlight. But now, as he seeks to put his personal life and political career back on track after crashing his car and spending nearly a month in drug treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, the Rhode Island Democrat can expect the scrutiny to hit new levels. "He's always been under a microscope," said Jack McConnell, a longtime Kennedy friend and adviser. "Now it's turned up about as high as any human being can stand." Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., agreed that the 38-year-old Kennedy faces a "difficult challenge" in the weeks and months ahead, but he is confident the congressman will prevail.

#5 It's the Kennedy way. They are Gods and the people are mere mortals who must accept them as they are. Nothing to see. Move along. |

#4 I highly recommend late evening ultra-lite lessons for he and his uncle. The Cape Cod sunset and ocean wind in one's face is very therapeutic. |
