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?
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.
Kennedy--The First Name in Personal Responsibility
Time to check his charge card bill to see where he was drinking
"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."
Well, has this happened before? Do you usually take your sleep medication and get back on the road to vote on something boy? What was your motivation boy?
What did your brain think you were going you vote on?
If he was that screwed up he should be charged with DUI, and didn't he damage government property? Do we need a retard like this voting on ANYTHING?
You didn't have to.
If this happened to the Bush daughters--who aren't elected officials--I have a feeling Yahoo would have it on their little "Headlines" thing; apparently, Rumsfeld being heckled is more important than a congressman being involved in a potential crime.
WTF. That is still DUI!
The teenager wants to know if Pat was driving a Hybrid.
Was there a bridge nearby? Someone better check the rivers for female "divers".
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, apparently. Will this drunken stunad be able to cover up his crimes like uncle Teddy did, with the obvious help of donut munchers?
never an ounce of responsibility
And here we see employees of Congressman Kennedy's grandfather engaged in the process of discreetly importing "sleep medicine."
"...officers involved in the accident were instructed by an official "above the rank of patrolman" to take Kennedy home."
So, I guess he didn't hurt himself in the crash considering he was taken home and not to a doctor or hospital to get a neck brace...
Politicians have always been low lifes but I long for the days when they had some class. Wilbur Mills as I remember may have been drunk but he had a driver and stripper. After Teddy went swimming in his Oldsmobile with Mary Jo, it seems like they give up the whoring part of the Kennedy legacy and are just sticking to the drugs and booze. God the Democratics are pathetic. Just when they were getting a little mileage out of the Rush affair this idiot decides to go work and put in a vote hours after the House was in recess. If I am Cynthia McKinney I play the race card, the Kennedy card and every card in the deck. After all a crazy belligerent African American woman should get the same treatment as the drunken son of the a drunken son of a truly evil patricarch of the Kennedy clan.
Rhode Island? And his sister represents Maryland? (Slightly off topic, sorry.) Who knew? I wouldn't have guessed. I thought these Kennedys grew up in a Virginia suburb of D.C.
In the Soviet bloc countries where they did hold elections, remember, with 90% voter participation and 100% approval of Party chosen candidates, those candidates, Party career apparatchiks, were typically and more or less arbitrarily assigned the districts they were supposed to represent. What's the difference here in paradise, I ask? (And this applies just as well to the current POTUS, whose brother is a guvnor in Florida, whose father was from Connecticut and represented Texas where he maintained an empty apartment in Houston. Are we dealing with broken families?) D.C. kid Al Goron is from Tennessee, you say? Oh, yeah.
At least, the Gipper spent most of his life in California, where he, as you recall, returned. Otherwise, it's a Magic Carpet Ride all the way!
Is it possible to have an entire family designated a menace to society?
