Foley Jumps on the Patrick Kennedy, Charles Kushner Bandwagon
You get caught doing something wrong, blame the liquor and enter rehab:
I strongly believe that I am an alcoholic and have accepted the need for immediate treatment for alcoholism and related behavioral problems.
On Saturday, with the loving support of my family and friends, I made arrangements to enter a renowned in-patient facility to address my disease and related issues.
So, if these emails didn’t come out, would he still be boozing it up? The problem is these emails are from last year, no one noticed his drinking problem then, or through the year ?
Congressman Patrick Kennedy enters rehab for pill addiction:
WASHINGTON – Less than 36 hours after he crashed into a checkpoint barrier near the Capitol, US Representative Patrick J. Kennedy announced yesterday that he is addicted to pain medication and checked himself into the Mayo Clinic for treatment. It was his second trip to the renowned Minnesota rehabilitation center in six months.
And in New Jersey, real estate developer Charles Kushner, a huge democrat fundraiser, was jailed for tax-fraud and campaign violations. Half way through his sentence, he woke up one morning and claimed he was a drunk:
The feds in Jersey are fuming that rogue real-estate mogul Charles Kushner is being transferred from prison to a cushy halfway house a year early — just because he claims to be an alcoholic.
……Kushner shaved time off by claiming to be an alcoholic so as to be eligible for a residential substance-abuse treatment program. The program is the only one in the federal prison system that lets inmates earn credit against their sentences.
No one else saw that he was a drunk:
………the prosecution and the FBI are trying to prove that Kushner faked his way in. They’ve interviewed liquor-store owners as well as his doctor and former employees of his to determine whether he perjured himself by claiming to be addicted. At sentencing last March, the defense gave the judge hundreds of pages of documents and letters of support — yet none mentioned a drinking problem.
The problem is not democrat or republican, it’s a problem of privledge. These pampered rich elites think they are above the law and can do whatever they want and never take personal responsibility when they are caught.
