Things that Make You Say, Hmmm
I'm sure everyone has heard about Patrick Kennedy's car accident and the resulting three tickets. The event prompted him to enter the Mayo Clinic for drug rehabilitation. A lot of people have snickered and made a reference to his family's taste for alcohol. On Sunday, the Washington Post ran an article which says that many people in Rhode Island don't believe his story, but they don't care.
I'm not the least bit surprised by the crux of the piece, but I did find the following worth noting;
This election year, Patrick Kennedy (D) didn't even have an announced Republican opponent until Friday, when a former Foreign Service officer said he will run. The timing of that announcement, a day after Kennedy's 2:50 a.m. crash put him in the middle of an embarrassing national spotlight, was described as "entirely coincidental" by a spokesman for the Rhode Island GOP.
At no point in the article does the Post reveal his opponent's name.
