Gee Bob, what with Porter Goss resigning, effective immediately, as Director of the CIA today (could there be a Hookergate in the offing here?), a Kennedy going to Mayo to dry out, and Grams giving us even more to laugh, er, talk about, you'll have plenty to joke about today on The Current with Mary.

So... he WASN'T drunk, but he's going to go dry out. Riiiiight...

Tina Fey said it best on SNL: "How many freakin' Kennedy's ARE there?"
