BEWARE - Patches Kennedy is out

Wonderful. Kennedy returns to Rhode Island as if he was missed. Like his father, I wish these Kennedy's would just go away and leave us alone.

Patrick, I wish you well with your recovery. Please step down and take care of yourself.

WASHINGTON (AP) : Rep. Patrick Kennedy has ended nearly a month of treatment for addiction to prescription pain drugs and had an appearance scheduled Monday in his home state of Rhode Island.

Kennedy left the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. on Friday.

'The congressman was discharged after completing his treatment at the Mayo Clinic,' said Kennedy chief of staff Sean Richardson. 'He's feeling great and he's looking forward to getting back to work.'
