Of course he's lying. It would be nice if they would investigate this and find a cocktail waitress or bartender that would admit to serving the guy liquor before he took off in his car.
But knowing the Kennedy's these people are probably already in Vegas spending the "windfall".
"Some time around 2:45 a.m., I drove the few blocks to the Capitol Complex believing I needed to vote," his second statement said. "Apparently, I was disoriented from the medication."
Patches Kennedy has now had some time to concoct a story... it was sleep medication, not alcohol. Yeah, that's it... that's the ticket...
If you haven't seen it, check out the accident report from Patches' accident on 4/15/06 in Portsmouth, RI. Be sure to check out the Congressman's handwriting on page 6. Hmmm... drunk at 10 in the morning???
There were some news items recently about Ambien having some weird side effects when you first take it, confirmed by events I've witnessed. Now a savvy staff would know this. I wonder if Registrar McLaughlin is still around to retroactively write the Rx for Teddy's son?
Well, he did learn from the swimmer.

Let me see if I understand: his sleep medication caused him to wake up at 2:30 AM and drive to the office?

It's not 1969 any longer, but they are still Kennedy's.
"Okay, now I can't believe I'm in the almost intolerable position of offering a possible defense for a Kennedy, but there it is!"
Sorry, no offense, but all you've proven to me is that the POS chose a good lie. If it walks like a drunk, err I mean duck...
Maybe the sleep medication made him think it was a windmill.
Bwahahahaha. Oh come on. I've seen the Ambien commercials. Does he actually expect us to believe that he, a college educated state representative, failed to heed the well publicized warnings about taking Ambien right before going to bed, and instead took it right before he got into his car?? A medicine he claims to use regularly to help him sleep? I guess his leftie sheeple will suck it up...
Oh, and I like how he tells us this several news stories later, and at the scene, the police apparently did not administer any breathalizer or other intoxication test. Hmm.
Just curious. I'm a little lost. Is this the third or fourth excuse?
Let me add that I do not believe anyone who drives while under the influence of any drug, legal or otherwise, should be held blameless. Once the person taking a medication is aware of its possible side effects, and that is as soon as it is prescribed, not taking whatever steps necessary to avoid such incidents makes him liable. Some people lock up their car keys. When I take Ambien, I make sure my husband is aware and looks out for anything untoward I might do if I get up during the night. It is the patient's responsibility to know what he is imbibing.
Syrup of Ipecac has been outlawed by the APA (American Pediatricians Assoc.) to induce vomiting on case of poison.
Now, Patches has done re-hab as a cocaine druggie and knows that in order for his recovery to take root, one is always honest with one's doctors. Therefore one's Doctor would never prescribe Phenergan to a recovering anybody (Name your poison) NOR would they ever prescribe Ambien which I believe is listed as a a Narcotic!
His Mother is an alcoholic, his Father is an alcoholic.
If I were the freakin' School Nurse, I would refuse to give him Tylenol.
THIS IS SUCH A CLASSIC ALKY excuse.
Like a firend of mine said today.. excuses are like A**holes, we all HAVE one!
Yup, that's me all right...the uppity peasant in pajamas.
I've heard some lame excuses for drunk driving, but this takes the cake. I guess they're now prescribing hallucinogens for the sleep deprived.
