until his next crime
Finally some follow up to our drug-addicted, socialist cheerleader Patches Kennedy. Is anyone really surprised he was hooked on OxyContin? (Video Here) . The complete 9 minute video.
Now the ProJo buried the story but one reporter was brave enough to ask some real questions. WPRO's Colleen Lima (also from the East Bay area) attempted to ferret out of Rep. Kennedy the who, where and how he got enough OxyContin to sustain his addiction. Here's a paraphrase of that conversation (as heard on WPRO's Dan Yorke Show):
Colleen Lima asked, - where were you getting the OxyContin? - and Kennedy replied that, - With respect to the substances, it really doesn't matter what substance it is, the fact remains as an addict you can replace any given substance with any other given substance. It's not material to the disease...There's a prurient interest in the type of drug...and that's part of the stigmatizing of the disease -
Lima tried to put her question in context as to why it was important to know where he was getting it, pointing out that - There have been national investigations into doctor shopping - (ie; Rush Limbaugh--hey, didn't I mention that before?) and - somebody helped you, somebody enabled you - with this. To this line of questioning, Kennedy replied, - I'm not going to go into it.- (www.anchorrising.com)
With that response he ran out the door. It’s going to take a few more macaroni dinners with the old geysers who keep this confused pol in office. Why do democratic leaders continue to drug him and prop him up when he has admitted he cannot function on his own? Oh yea, he raises lots of money. The reality is: he needs help and get out of the public eye because nobody is looking out for his well being.
