Both parents are alcoholics - what are the odds that he also has a drinking problem?
Incredible.
Cynthia might have a case for racism here. She gets charged, Rep. Pat Kennedy, a White male, gets a pass and cover up from the Capitol Hill police.
Runs in the family........
Oh yeah you were not Drunk, just like Teddy.
Well, the MSM would have a field day (if it were Rush). Watch how they'll play this.
Rush should still be prosecuted. He broke the law.
Kennedy should still be prosecuted. He broke the law.
They got off easy because of the almighty dollar. If it were anyone else, the individual would be behind bars. We shouldn't defend conservatives who break the law and then through the Dems to the dogs. In fact, I find it even more disgusting when Conservatives pull this nonsense. We hold ourselves to a higher standard because we have self-respect and a high regard for the law. Conservative talk show hosts who doctor shop are just as guilty as the crackhead in the ghetto or Kennedy behind the wheel.
Dingy Harry putting Senator Sheets to sleep.
Who wants to bet that his stomach problem is alcoholic gastritis? (I'm not a doctor, I just play one on the internet).
exacly...we need that Watch Commanders name...shit should hit the fan for this, but I'm afraid it wont
I know he had problems in the past, so it wouldn't be surprising if he still has problems considering his personal, and family, background. There has been more effort historically for them to cover-up rather than straighten-up.
Alcohol and/or drug addiction is a difficult and sad situation for anyone, but there should be accountablility - especially from a legislator and representative of the people. Too many of them do a sorry enough job without that kind of impairment!
"Rush should still be prosecuted. He broke the law. "
If you are as you claim, a lawyergirl, you would know that the evidence gathered by the WPB pros is inadmissible and as, such they have NO CASE! That darn Constitution.
Oh, I am a cutetechielawyerguy. 10 years criminal defense, 14 years Patent Attorney.
Your CV?
Isn't that 'Driving Under the Influence'?
Well an officer told me that taking medication and operating a vehicle was no excuse to keep from getting a ticket or even going to jail if you have a wreck.
I would say that Kennedy received lots of special consideration.

What's that stuff on the beach ? Anti-tank pilings ?
LOL, Cobra. If they cut Teddy open all they'd find would be a whole mess of half-eaten hoagies soaked in gin.
Damn you're good, Punk. AND quick.
This is standard practice among drunks who get in trouble.
