A frail Ethel Kennedy showed up at the Westchester County courthouse this morning to support her daughter Kerry Kennedy on the first day of her trial on drugged driving charges.

Ethel Kennedy, the 85-year-old widow of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, was in a wheelchair and accompanied by an unidentified man and woman when she entered the courtroom shortly after 9 a.m.

Kerry Kennedy had hoped to avoid a trial, but her bid to have the case tossed failed last week after a judge denied her motion to have the case dropped because she supposedly took a sleeping pill by accident.

Meanwhile, Robert F. “Bobby’’ Kennedy Jr., 60, asked for compassion for his misunderstood sister, a lawyer and professional human-rights activist.

“Kerry’s been instrumental in freeing political prisoners and dissidents from around the globe from imprisonment and torture,” Bobby told The Post’s Andrea Peyser.

He argued that political agitators all over the world could be locked up and tortured if his sister is convicted in Westchester County for being hell on wheels.

Africans might be tormented or killed for being gay, he claimed.

I always thought the Kennedy women looked like middle aged men in drag and those photos do nothing to show me otherwise.
