Patrick Kennedy on Justin Bieber

Patrick Kennedy was on CNN to discuss Justin Bieber's suspected substance abuse problems and the complicating issues of his fame and money. Patrick Kennedy said it's a serious problem he understands well. But he glossed over an issue I was hoping he would raise in light of Bieber's brushes with the law; I was waiting for him to say: "And it's more serious for Justin Bieber, because he's not an elected government official, so he will get charged when he breaks the law, unlike me: I got away with everything! Or was it my family connections and favoritism from the news people that prevented my prosecution? But hey, he could run for office, and I could adopt him: then surely he would be above the law."
