Man, I'd love to have been the bartender at his previous "alleged" destination. Then again, I'd likely be a victim of Arkancide by now if I were. We can't have damaging testimony from "the little people".

Kennedy appeared to be intoxicated when he crashed his car into a barrier on Capitol Hill early Thursday morning, said Louis P. Cannon, president of the Washington chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police.

Cannon, who was not there, said the officers involved in the accident were instructed by an official "above the rank of patrolman" to take Kennedy home.

-----

A letter written by a Capitol Police officer to Acting Chief Christopher McGaffin said Kennedy appeared to be staggering when he left the vehicle after the crash about 3 a.m. The letter was first reported by Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper.

"I consumed it during and after."

Um, voting at 3 a.m.?

[shhrubbery!]

“I consumed no alcohol prior to the incident.”

Truly a Clintonian statement.

How long "prior to the incident" were you "consuming no alcohol," Congressman?

Two hours? One hour? Five minutes?

I could have sworn that there is something in the US Constitution forbidding royalty/nobility etc., but then we have the Kennedys - America's answer to the Widsors - without the nobility. I predict an early visit to the Betty Ford Clinic or some other such for personal difficulties. Remember this poor boy has lost so many family members, it is quite traumatic. He must be understood as a victim of circumstances. It was probably a Republican Lobbyist that slipped him a mickey while he was trying to persuade said lobbyist to return to the Irish side of the force!

Patrick Kennedy and his two siblings went after their Mother Joan to get Conservatorship of her assets because she wanted to sell her home.

They cited her alcoholism as a mental disease and won.

Patrick...there is a God!

I'm sure the DUmmies will report this story. lol

Officers reported a strong smell of Scotch whiskey coming from the car, which Kennedy explained by saying that he'd given a lift to his Uncle Ted a few years ago and "I can't get that odor out." The report indicates that Kennedy may have been distracted by the lampshade over his head, and the gin and tonic he had just spilled in his lap.

I guess the good folks in RI will have to vote him out, just like the good folks in MA voted out his drunken, murdering, lying, womanizing, obese, traitorous uncle!!!!!...........................oh...nevermind.

Is the rumor true that he was driving an old Oldsmobile with water stained upholstery?

[ladyinred]

Reports have indicated that Kennedy allegedly told officers who stopped to investigate the accident that he was late for a vote after stepping out from the badly damaged vehicle.

I suppose they vote at 3 am right? Or was he one of the ones who was stopped from voting in 2000 and was finally getting his turn????
