Of course it was the sleep medicine's fault. Nothing a Kennedy does is ever their fault now is it? Maybe he's going to tell us that we need a government study to study sleep medicines since this must be a grave problem to this country.
"Cannon acknowledged, however, that there are special rules that allow for special treatment of congressional representatives who are on their way to a vote, which apparently was one of Kennedy's claims."
"Cannon also said that while he had heard from officers that Kennedy has smelled of alcohol, he was not there, and had not seen the official report yet. He said, however, that from other visual signs Kennedy showed, officers could have followed up with a number of field sobriety tests."

He smelled of alcohol. And no wonder he said he was going to vote...
Ambien does wear off, especially if the body has built up some tolerance of the medication. I recently went off Ambien and started on Lunesta. Lunesta doesn't make you feel weird or have amnesia like Ambien, and keeps me sleeping all night. Only drawback is the cost.
HAAAA!
Rep. Patrick Kennedy to Hold News Conference at 3 P.M. 5/05/06 (Live Thread)

I figure anyone who argues that GW Bush isn't a Texan falls into the same category.
At the very least, they are uneducated.....
Did I hear Shep Smith just say that Patches is going to enter rehab? Again???
The Kennedy Prayer:
Our Lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk,
I will be drunk,
At home as it is in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
and forgive us our spillages,
as we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For Thine is the beer, the bitter, THE lager.
Barman.
Yep!
Right. Patrick or his lawyers saw the samw TV special I saw on Ambien and its weird side effects.
One woman got up at 3 a.m., went to the kitchen, and cooked bacon and eggs. Her husband woke her up; she said, "I don't even LIKE bacon and eggs."
Then there were other incidents, of sleepwalking outside the home and far away, etc.
Watch--this will soon appear as a defense for murder or manslaughter. Ambien-induced sleep-killing.
Oh--and the other weird effect was super-sex with the Ambien-taking partner, who did things and said things during sex that they had never ever done before. The husband of this woman was liking it! And looking forward to their next "Ambien Date."
LOL.
HeHe.
Never realized just how much like my family the Kennedys are.
The first pic you posted --making sleep medicine -- my grandpa made that, and my Daddy ran it, often with the law in hot pursuit.
And my dear sweet Granny always kept a bottle of that "medicine" in her cabinet, for medicinal purposes of course.
I have a problem... if he had unipolar (or Bipolar II,not as much acting out... mostly depression and sleeplessness), he wouldn't even be given these two drugs together... Ambien alone has been pulled for treatment of bipolar (knowing some doctors... they still may have given it). Also, was this the cause of his accident two weeks ago in Rhode Island also?
His daddy is a powerful and effective legislator, who has had victory after victory in his efforts to destroy the United States.
From 1963-2006, that's FORTY-THREE YEARS, there has been no more efficient or effective destroyer of our people, our liberties, or our religion, than the senior Senator from Massachusetts.
Say what you will, he's far from a joke.
Patches, OTOH - he IS a joke, and nothing but.
The argument isn't whether or not W is Texan. So he is, OK, I'm misinformed. What about the Kennedys representing so many states? Rockefeller clan is from West Virginia? W's brother? Is he Floridian? His dad? Is he Connecticutian, or Texan, or like most everyone in that swamp, DCian? Your or mine congresscritter? If typical, he was maybe born here, spent 15 years in DC as an aide to his predecessor, and then came back for 6 months to run for election here. Magic Carpet Ride, as I said.
