Patches Retires
Fri, 12 Feb 2010|
Bringing down the curtain - at least for now - on Camelot and one of the most storied political dynasties in the nation's history, U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy, son of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, says he is not running for re-election. Was it because his father was no longer around to run interference or is he perhaps looking at another visit to rehab? Is Camelot truly over now?

I must admit that a lot of the nicknames that I've gotten credit for over the years have come from other people from my sources or form. Readers are from listeners but I made up patches all by myself that's that's one of the ones I've made up it just that with the for. They had nearly when -- what I hear the song again now when he talks about his raggedy clothes we get back to that that picture of him with Scott Brown. Those if those if that is a raggedy Sudanese wear and I don't know what a -- soon as. It ended the sleeves are too short in the UBS shirt sleeves are coming out about two inches. It it looks like it is it looks like he's the don't want the literal brunt of the letter as I said last week and I you know he's going off the prep school and his. And you know this is a third hand me down and his parents there they have gotten a point where they don't they're really. -- have that much interest in the kids anymore so they just let him run around they don't care what looks like. That's patches. Choice. Patches. No one's depending on you now. I just wanna know kind of job he's gonna get Steve how much money he inherited or is going to inherit when the probate the -- Steve your next -- powered car go ahead Steve.
Hello Ali if you if you can play that song one more time so we can they had semi did you not say which is everybody's can't Doleac is here with get this -- here and I can put celebrate it. Well who's gonna take care Camelot down here at the house is gone the sale I mean that what's what's going on down indicate you gonna come down here resolve this problem.
Can't tell you the red cherry pop wants to run its just a question is is gonna -- this year or 32 with 114 you guys but I. I wouldn't I don't think you guys are out of the woods yet you know I mean you could still end up with a Kennedy congressman down the road.
Yeah I US and how if I gave it to actually address we can send him a -- trip from Bridgeport where I mean I mean I mean you know what's -- I ask how come Barbara mr. Abdullah -- almost stepped up their play Jenn what she didn't would seem nervous so.
I don't see Steve here's what they would Michael get at the Dalai Delahunt is a congressman from Cape -- he's a 68 years old he's already got a state pension he's got a he's probably look at it may be a 100000 dollar federal pension on top of the 58000 dollar state pension. I don't think he wants to run for reelection but I think they want him to hold the seat. Concede concede they got this redistricting going on after the census were probably gonna lose a seat I hope we lose a seat actually considering who's in the -- now. But he's gonna see if he holds the seat it's all in retires that it's a lot easier chop up a seat at the at either end of the state you know rather than in the middle. It's I think they want the whole bunch and you know if you apply if you -- if he quit that's. And Kennedy runs and Kennedy gets knocked off then it really is the end of Camelot.
Well I think you're right. This thing is now here though you know everybody should be shaken as a pro and have come to 190 you know I think I've actually ominously it during my lifetime.
Everything comes to an end of staff nowadays is -- we thought -- hope. Thanks Dave I appreciate at 1877469432. To your of other opportunities throughout the course of the afternoon to dance and sing along with -- Clarence Carter's. Great. Soul hit patches from 1970. Dave your next with how we cargo ahead day of hey -- we ask you don't score very well indeed its application be smoking a big cigar and a half.
Maybe maybe it got it off the rules and I want us. And let me ask you this does not let me ask this good don't you think it's gonna be more difficult for what's his name block grant to us want to win you have to win that -- or are absolutely brutal. Democrats to hold us.
Shall we it's gonna be a lot easier to say it's the same big guy in Connecticut you know Simmons was running out way ahead of -- dog. And now they've never gonna put Blumenthal the attorney general up there who's fairly clean. End he he's ahead in the polls Simmons is back down again. They pulled the same stuff in mount enough Colorado. With you -- the governor the democratic governor very unpopular so he stepped aside and now they're running up now they're running the mayor of Denver it's and then they're trying to do the same thing in New York push up Paterson aside so Obama and rod. This is this is the only way they're gonna be able to keep some of these seats.
That that's not I think it's I think get pattern emerges here how we I think that's I think that's is that -- I think it's a tactic on the part of Democrats did the week guys out -- get guys in netted don't have. You know much of a record -- gov may lead may be generally well regarded. And then you have more of an even race. And so I think double. You know I enjoyed listening to locked -- but I east peace -- they sharpen his message a little bit more now I think.
He definitely -- I mean before he was just the anti patches right that's that's and that's sort of an easy banner to carry right now it's now it's gonna get more complicated. I don't think they've won 8774694322. A lot of people heard that the that that though Laughlin interview with seems like the other night on non. On Wednesday night I may be because they were rug that they were listening for those storm updates you know Steve your next what power we cardinal ahead Steve.
Port scratches sport perhaps CK reporting -- They odds and he's -- I. Police what is an oxy moron -- sit there was a decent Kennedy around I don't know where they out what he's gonna get rich you are -- gonna call 1800 jolt for oil. And he's gonna get a job. As the liaison Donovan will have to watch spit -- you post -- because.
Well I just hope that all I just hope we doesn't get a CD -- Steve does you know I mean all the that he enough the he did enough damage with that -- with the Gephardt for president bumper sticker on -- think what think of the damage he could do within -- within a with or a fuel truck.
Amid another job the pharmaceutical and their industry he knows all ball on the so beautiful it's pretty scary it Ali. Pretty scary play it dude chill or doesn't or non profit this people and I heard already pulled it out core lab.
Yeah I think that's a lot more -- a more Steve it's it's by the gets more like 750000.
I'm believe -- well I'm sure he's got wrongful or not.
Yet be time to say nonprofit Steve you -- I don't know -- that's good that -- you know come on non profit. -- about it why are you all annoying it has it's a beautiful day in the United States of America. 1877469432218774694322. Additionally you could say again muted the sort of above. You have to.
Who waved both sides here but. On the one hand. These going to be a new devil may there may be a Democrat -- Republican but there's a better chance now there's going to be a democratic patches seat. Do you want somebody who's somewhat present a -- somewhat more normal somewhat more normal someone who maybe has worked for a living at least a couple of years and his life. 41 patches a eight they'd. Who's who lives his life on a banana peel. With a drink it has. -- and it the patches and patches has been very immune patches has been good to me let me put it that way. 18774694322180. I remember the day. When he saw his cousin Willie Smith was standing trial in west palm on the rape charges back in what was it 91. And they they delivered the discovery the State's attorney's office of Palm Beach delivered the discovery hundreds and hundreds of pages depositions. Bar tabs. What that treasure trove of information. And and now and now patches. Patches the guy who used to scout scalpel local talent for his his dad. He's he's calling -- a career. Terrier next with how we cargo ahead Terry.
Hi how are you my first thought when I heard about him quitting was steady no longer help the the CME the PG apple pressured to stay there. --
You think so. I think about what you -- yeah I mean that's just that's is gonna theory is MEI. But again what's he gonna do I mean this is the the only thing he's ever done his whole life was was was BO both food and politics. It it's not a place for your 43 you have to start over again that's we're basically boils down to. It's -- what I what I -- start over again you have to start he -- every aspect. The thanks for the call Terry.
But by 21877469432218. So. I think the we kind of got a a kick out of you know saying these things and pretending to know what he was talking about and yelling at people like to what was his Gerald Solomon. The the new upstate New York congressman that he got a big before about outside the the house chambers one day about a some kind of -- legislation. Or -- I think he did not healthy George saying making mincemeat. Core or I'm testing my feet. But. How. What else to securely and do you know. You don't think of Ed Markey is being an and sort of halfway house and institutions you know he will what do Ed Markey do. That have to put an ankle bracelet on them so we wouldn't get lost but he wasn't congress. But it but he Ed Markey is. Is Winston Churchill compared to the patches Kennedy Kevin your next with how we cargo ahead Kevin.
They are we oil. What should you know. I know what should be happy about all of this but it -- Is all of our people out -- your audience you particularly. Deserved to. Basically watch. Are really bloody primary battle with but he feared it would just closely resemble our spite of everything else and then a piece of pipe yeah. There.
His -- lectures but he did Democrat or Republican these days.
So what it I don't starting to Democrat. But you know what but back then we all deserve again. Still observe -- General you know election with -- what does the Republican and whoever the independence -- up -- This guy like a rag ball. You know ultimately just driving them back to whatever demons of addiction based on it and ultimately -- would Harold frontpage can walk and I would -- that god boardwalk. That's what we -- we didn't get that full. You know I know I feel walked.
That's right -- that's why didn't make it a poll question because on the one hand by your happy that he's not coming back correct. On the other hand you didn't wanna see him go down in flames in November.
But you know everyone what Gulfport patch is what you gonna do help you know the worst and you could go. But he still come out okay we're very much you know it and in if they compared -- that there -- a bit of -- future you know went up being like the legal guardian birth mother which is another woman that. You know Ted Kennedy destroyed it is that's -- evidence for the rest of his life he's still got up.
and that would have I want what I follow up question for you who with if he's going to be the legal guardian for Joe who's going to be the legal guardian for him.
I don't know you know there's there's nobody lining up third the lookout they give any more because you know the old vanguard. So there's no sense that anybody can think pot because there's no reward you get older there's no reward for both of covering this.
Don't you think the people the kids in his generation wanted to for him to step aside because he's he's talked about tainting the that the pool for them -- mean that did none of them are gonna get elect to the point is this -- running around just. -- off his mouth under whatever he's under the influence --
Look at look at Christopher lost that okay -- who who -- even as well. But you know what these -- good looking guy he's well spoken. He's he's in you know I think he's running around running twelve step programs now so he's actually on the road to recovery. In you know what you'll never be able -- wouldn't -- because of the bad behavior is gone out as well as the rest of the family what went took the second overall goal -- always.
Thanks for the call Kevin 1877469432218774694322. I just a ways these government. If if it's possible for him to do a noble thing he's done a noble thing in the east. Preserve the option it's at the very least. Of the other members of the family as long as he was in the -- They work they world. Do moved there -- gonna bid could Bill Walker be able to run for any bank now you know -- never gonna be back to where they were but you don't wet -- was never. Where about where the family was in the years in the early sixties yet the president. That one of the richest guys in the country as a father the attorney general and the Ted Kennedy of rubble -- is a US senator Dayton. They had at all that whenever gonna get back to that level but. You know I don't know maybe they can pick off -- congressional seat or two who knows Mike your next with how we cargo ahead Mike.
A gallery he just -- the -- about a few things and besides there's something you just you just sit on them besides the early years I'm JFK. You know what what has any Kennedy ever done -- there is there one thing that anyone can really just rest atop they're -- We got to do what they've done perhaps anything at all any lot of --
They've certainly provide a lot of tabloid fodder for people.
Meet Britney has always been besides what you know what you do for at least I'm sure hope but I'm I'm I'm gonna K but it been years since the late sixties them. That we used in no way that this one school without because all the candy little fill out to the courts would be down here I'm. Stealing their mother's car Joe's car and then terrorizing everybody I'm eroding. The day utility if you read about it in the paper what they did they drove over that. By the straight through your rotary deserve whatever but I'm but you can only tell -- got their debate they used the entire tell like their playground and I'm. And I'm not giving a damn about anybody else but themselves. And -- that that comes from experience.

The most powerful. You'll solar very intelligent former radio known program we are Boston's talk station KM succeeding. WRK you know.
Patches. Patches Kennedy. 18774694322. There's this other song patches -- what can I do -- where awhile was love you well in May not be right but I'll see you tonight -- patches from old shantytown. Yet I've heard that one a couple of times I didn't I was unfamiliar with that is a -- but I real -- can move that's not very good it's it's nothing compared the Clarence Carter's in my opinion. -- from -- pimps as you were going on vacation tonight why didn't he waited until tonight to announce she's leaving. Why I think that was the plan to wait until Sunday when Harry wouldn't be on the air for a week flatten out the best laid plans -- I don't. I I don't know how it got -- he announced it to a staff though that's the thing what worked out below I was expect and when I saw this morning I was six I said why didn't they call me. I mean I was I was working mom finish in this this book project I've been. Busy -- Last night and -- I was up to like 1 o'clock but I I was on the Internet and I just -- on -- badly want radio verbal ugliness of car the little -- also -- for the doctor -- at 11 o'clock and I only got my cellphone number to cellphone we're breaking -- in the history of cannabis shop on the bed and nightstand and -- on its gonna -- the loneliness of car I guess I guess some I was kind of I when I woke up this morning I saw what. The only guide you know remember Bob Hannah. I look at my email first and he would send me an email. And and I of those the first I heard of it like I don't know 515 I had David turn on the radio yet -- family members texting last night at. I immediately texted back to me he can't quit I wanna fire. And to which I guess is basically what Kevin said. But that you know again -- I'm glad he's gone but on the other hand I wanted it to be a little more painful. I know I know that's really -- on charitable un Christian thing to say but that's the way I feel. Margaret your next with how we cargo ahead Margaret. -- go ahead Margaret.
I feel like I've made an opening and it worked. With this -- I woke up at 4 o'clock this morning and I would have the radio on all my thing here is that Patrick Kennedy's nominee and the first thing. It came out of my mouth was LA -- first -- out to be my heart feels like alligator thought I had been got to the quarter that they could get plot that is not running against the.
How is taught how -- part of could -- an alligator that you've got her like electric signals they -- Oh my god it's time they -- so great I have had just can't believe that it is yeah.
Other I would I would have preferred to beat him at the poll yeah but. And -- still could have you know what the best part of that he's he's resigning -- if you can't win both almost as good. Don't you know don't don't because art -- but yeah it's almost as good.
And no way it's gonna do it this way goes down in history he knew we was gonna lose so we went right exactly I mean that's would be you know whenever his obituary is written you know 3040 years from now that's what's gonna side.
But I I can this is gonna be so wonderful not to have a cavity. And Washington at least for the next two years.
Yes well -- and well on land and less again night Margaret told the don't count your chickens before. Our -- Dallara Honda desire hang on by a by his fingernails here we had I I. I don't think that the kid's gonna run. It just doesn't seem like it's the right time and it's too risky but you never now.
Also -- what I'll think about. As time goes on you know what -- people of Massachusetts care about the Kennedys and in the event that the old people you sound so there that the magic of the Kennedy you name it is is rapidly disappearing. But then -- it's not going to be easy for these folks to get it in -- Camelot really is that.
What I mean they've already been I -- who would have ever thought that a guy like max Kennedy it would be would be knocked out of a congressional primary before even got to Election Day right. Or Joe Kennedy wanted to run for governor but that the scandal -- brother knocked him out of a race. So he is solely you're right I mean they they they obviously don't have the power that they used to have.
And they don't have the old people like you know look at what -- many old people who don't care what the Kennedys still. They'll get a quote from anyway back bedroom thinking younger people are just not that enamored with the many.
Yeah I hope I hope.
I -- they -- they didn't they didn't live through Camelot you know I mean it was -- was rather traumatic having the president of the United States shot to you know when he was a young guy and he was from Massachusetts. It's -- you -- for those of us were Catholic he was the first Catholic president you know. The only Catholic president.
And did -- say maybe we should comic noting that. But other than get -- they accept the -- actually Avant at a holiday I will I will eyes.
If patches is less than patches I know you don't have a place in Palm Beach anymore but you know I hate. I don't even -- that I know -- heralds is gone old bar is gone but there's still places than those I'll I'll read I'll meet you what the Palm Beach grill let's -- oh that's little bar is now I get credit hour. Part of the all -- Doug I'm not go that far. Yeah exactly are all you're not get -- I EI don't have a balcony but he might go headfirst through just through the plate glass window thanks for the call Margaret 18774694322. Yup patches I'll buy -- your favorite drink along Iowa by steady. Have you switched over to what triple -- whole -- George your next with how we cargo ahead George.
Hey how -- idea somebody in Tucson but my children but I don't keep you posted on what's going pretty excited this afternoon -- they absolutely terrific this morning. But I don't give up on this John local of that state rep brought him but ever thought well I'll give up on it but I it was standard test before this morning by the pickup truck. Ended as far as the as far as patches what is gonna do is -- lifestyle. Yeah I understand according to the inside track I got is that he's -- commercial captain's license they want to run a charter still calls.
Well like. Well it's he can do less the original sailboat to the automotive business.
But then I'd be rented it try to that say oh yeah -- block violent.
Yeah I do remember that yes that's one another girl I tried to what had to get had to go into the -- to try to escape number I think I could I gotta say don't George you know until that moment I -- thought that he was on the other team if you know what I mean you know Howard then the body you only again he would -- that was very Kennedy like of him to -- to try to foist himself on a.
thank when he ran the last election he was so hooked up with some. Television anchor tell them or.
Yeah Katerina -- BB remember yeah she was she -- for channel seven she she was one of those people Amaechi was if you -- I if she's list -- wrong way but she looked better on TV that she looked on the street in person you know that's a way that's what a lot of those TV anchors you know. Did you talk to take up the wrong way allowing. -- I and what I'm saying idiot she's attractive but she's more attractive on TV the -- is on the street that's all I mean that story that's re you know what I'm talking about George you've -- TV anchors right.
Yeah. About Bartlett Detroit based TV -- that. The good thing that's all you discernible they haven't I think.
Thanks George I appreciate it 1877469432218774694322. And then. The what he got to the troubled that a DC that last time when he almost ran over the two capital cops and east India smashed his car with the Gephardt for president -- into the barricade. You'll said he at a singles bar you know he took the took a few we ambiance in the try to go down to war last call at the singles bar. So maybe he's just maybe he's just a normal Kennedy. Despite what some of a spot. Early on in his career Eddie here next with how we cargo ahead --
Hey how -- no idea that the bank -- he didn't -- Greg Brown campaign which is my point you know -- that would put an impromptu W trauma before the big day he was gonna be an INS. The end. I was actually talking to the former sheriff Jim Cummings Michael O'Keefe. And I did not -- character up pretty rare in flight and -- was very much the -- activities so that.
Yeah with cherry -- wouldn't be part of -- Republican rally though.
Well look my point being I I don't know how much support from his professional network you would get down here from Iran but there's a lot of grassroots support for -- for -- Jeff Brown and pull another --
You how should he -- Jeff parents. Jeff Perry -- our area that are -- be better if he changed his name to just.
But honestly I can't tell you even on like on -- the Massachusetts. The network is growing support freedom and an unbelievable pace so. --
And yeah. I think it'll I was surprised last night when when Bob have looked came on and died by the US he -- name suddenly appeared -- said if you're gonna one -- the amounts on our show I -- died. Firstly it's a dorm was senator how would you have an announcement to make thinking he's gonna run for congress is ready just wanna talk about the hot dog stand and warrants logs privacy. Sorry I guess -- get the feeling as time goes on that that maybe have warned isn't gonna run after all I thought sure he was gonna run.
Well I'm I'm happy disputed people are a lot more effect of -- what's been going on -- and the other -- it's still not listening to get great let them know listen to would several more changes made but they didn't put me back on all the fairly.
Chart hold -- part the Manitoba he wants to talk to your sanity. 187746. Behind 243 due to orange did draw too many conclusions from the fact that the Carrot Top isn't at any Scott Brown rallies before the election I would. That that would that's making the spirit of bipartisanship a little too far again I know they don't I don't I don't go -- like Martha Coakley but I don't think people are gonna be seen. At one Scott Brown's rallies rich your next with how we cargo ahead rich.
They carry out regarding look at first all I have dvd coming up. Thanks. -- I ice spell book deal coming. Howie Carr writes. -- dynasty. About the candidates -- downfall. Starts out from. Looking out for repeat again bought that the guys straight Bentley yeah graffiti up the walls of the church. And flash short Martha Coakley. I have beach somewhere in the Caribbean --
I don't know bit of a Kennedy book is is worth that much as much as it used to be Richard -- the fact you've you've you've got the keyword to their death right I mean it's over.
It is it's it's so we're -- did we hear from patches last week about how lot of how proud campaign with a.
A joke that was the exact wording used.
Yeah I think what's happened -- he probably feels kind of targeted to be poured out you know we can Democrat that's going to be driven backup band. And they're afraid that that that make it has you know they've -- we still don't -- They still are definitely wouldn't be able to get real real lack.
Why don't I think that's why I mean I think that's the main reason he's not running is because he knows that that he was gonna have a very tough time and I'm not sure that he has the stamina anymore and I and I know he doesn't have the staff on the that -- you know his father's not around on his father's people aren't around. The the the old Kennedy now worked there there all there are all gone you know.
It died off as -- your right -- I'd replace. Thanks thanks --
