Wasn't it interesting - how fast Kennedy left the room after reading his very expensive and "artful" non-statement..
I guess the asshole is simpy too stupid and slow witted to answer ANY questions that weren't pre-scripted and rehersed with the dumbass.
This POS is a CONGRESSMAN.....
This POS is a DEMOCRAT "Public Servant"....
This POS is a disgrace and should be fired.....

To: tioga
he claimed he was on his way to vote - legally no Congressman can be stopped while on their way to vote So the police sergeants who got him away from the patrol officers dropped him by the Capitol first before they brought him home? I'm sure he tried it, but since the Capitol was closed for the night he should have been arrested for DUI.

Okay, can we rip this guy and call him a filthy drug addict the way that they did to Rush Limbaugh? Can we strip him of all credibility and demand he be persecuted and prosecuted?Riiiiight. As if...

So, he took sleep meds before, during, or after the two visits to D.C. bars he made before crashing his car??
And why was he on sleep meds in the middle of the day when he crashed his car at 10AM on Saturday, April 16th in Rhode Island?
Why was he not given a breathalyzer at either crash?

At no time did I ask for any special consideration, I simply complied with what the officers asked me to do.
Did he forget he complied?

Believe it or not....on AirAmerika this morning, Jerry Springer WAS talking about how Jenna and Barbara had been caught drinking while under age....and even brought up how Laura killed her boyfriend..and said it was due to drinking..
To: concerned about politics
Shouldn't he be saying "lithium" in there somewhere among his medications? If he's bi-polar, that should be his main drug, shouldn't it?

If you understood Bi-polar disorder then you would believe he has had a difficult life, along with the depression he fights everyday of his life. Drug Addiction is very common in people whom suffer from Bi-polar disorder. Those of us who have family members understand Patrick's battle. My 16 yr old daughter suffers from OCD, general anexity disorder, depression and school phobia. I completely understate his battle. He doesn't need tearing down, he could use some empathy. I'm not a Kennedy fan, but I do understand this type of mental illness. I worked around and helped manage the behaviors of folks with these types of disorders for many years. A wise Psychiatrist told me that one of the first puzzles to solve in a treatment plan is the "chicken or the egg" question.
Did behaviors and substance abuse come about because of the psychiatric disorders? Or did the psychiatric disorders manifest themselves due to substance abuse?
By the way, I am not implying anything at all with your daughter's condition. I am not without sympathy and empathy for an individual going through these issues. One thing that I do require; The person must entirely throw away self indulgent behavior for me to continue to spend much time sympathizing or empathizing.
We'll see how that works with Patrick Kennedy. There are at least three generations of little else but self indulgent behavior ingrained here.
Also, saying a little prayer for your daughter and your family while I type.

To: Thumbellina
Please. The guy has lied so many times that his story TODAY is the one that might be half believed. He was drunk. Does someone who is sleep driving come up with a lie that he was late to a vote? No he says i was asleep and taking ambien. Dont believe a word from his mouth.

I love "artful" - my new word to use for everything. Only a Kennedy could inspire such elegant language from a cop. Not "lying," but making "artful" statements. Hahhaha.

I use Ambien when my sleep cycle is off.
It is perfect for me. I get 8 hours deep sleep, feel good in the morning , wake up feeling good, and the best part is it only works for about 3 nights in a row.
