Kiss the Senate goodbye Patrick. Another Kennedy implodes.

I don`t know about that. The way these absolute morons keep voting for these Kennedy pigs over and over and over, this latest episode will probably make him appear even more God like to them. "Oh he said he will keep fighting for us! Ohhh!" Don`t forget, Ted has been re-elected every single election for the past 44+ years, EVEN after doing the bridge dive with his car (amongst other things). It`s the Marion Barry syndrome, the Kennedys could smoke crack on video with a hooker and they would still get re-elected. If Michael Skakel got out of prison and ran, even HE would get elected! "Michael said he would fight for us! Ohhh!"

That`s what I was saying last month, it should be absolutely mandotory that ALL elected officials do the cup routine, it`s absolutely outrageous that they do not considering the decisions they make can affect millions of lives. Look at this psycho below, you think this nut job is 100% sober? Considering these strange faces she makes quite often (which I have seen her do in person by the way for absolutely no reason) and the irrational decisions she makes, I think it`s high time (pardon the pun) Hellary got her butt down to the local labcorp.

His resume from Wikipedia:

* Kennedy has acknowledged being treated for cocaine use during his teenage years.[3]

* In 2000, Kennedy was accused of pushing a security guard at LAX. City prosecutors ultimately decided not to bring criminal charges against him and he paid an undisclosed civil settlement to the alleged victim almost two years later.[4] His critics have called this incident a "triple hate crime", as the security guard was an elderly black woman.[5]

* In 2000, Atlantic Navigation Company of Mystic, CT, claimed that a boat they rented to Kennedy was found abandoned off Martha's Vineyard and required $28,000 to repair.[6]

* In 2000, the Coast Guard was dispatched to Kennedy's yacht after he and his date became embroiled in an argument on his yacht off Martha's Vineyard.[7]

* In 2003, drew fire from his critics when he jokingly said that "I have never worked a [bleeping] day in my life."[8]

On April 15, 2006, at 10:05 a.m., Patrick J. Kennedy was driving a Ford registered to the "Friends of Pat Kennedy Inc" on Turnpike Avenue. As Patrick attempted to turn left into the CVS parking lot, he was "broadsided" by a Nissan driven by Thomas Guthlein. Guthlein was attributed fault by the Portsmouth Rhode Island police who investigated the accident.[1]

RHODE ISLAND ACCIDENT
Kennedy's behavior, driving is questioned by eyewitness
By Jonathan Saltzman, Globe Staff | May 6, 2006

NEWPORT, R.I. -- A woman who witnessed a two-car collision involving Representative Patrick J. Kennedy outside a Portsmouth, R.I., drugstore last month said he had been weaving and driving aggressively beforehand and was impaired when she confronted him outside his car afterward.

''He was swaying, and his eyes were glazed," said Sheila Lash, 75, of Newport, who alleges that Kennedy briefly drove against traffic on April 15 before he turned his car into the CVS parking lot and collided with another car turning in from the opposite direction. ''Then he said the most unlikely thing: 'I'm so sorry for the fuss.' "
Portsmouth police provided copies of the accident report yesterday but declined to comment.

Lash, who said Kennedy almost struck her car before the 10:09 a.m. accident, added that she could not tell whether he had alcohol on his breath because she has a poor sense of smell from having broken her nose years ago.

But the part-time antiques saleswoman was so appalled by Kennedy's appearance and driving, she said, that she gave her phone numbers to the other driver and told him to give them to police because she had to leave for Providence. The responding officer called her later that day, she said, and she described what she saw.

But Portsmouth police cited no one in the accident between Kennedy and Thomas J. Guthlein, 46, of Bristol. Given that no one was injured, Lash said, she dropped it.

''They are the Kennedys," Lash said with a sigh at Newport China Trade Company, one day after Kennedy was involved in another car accident near the US Capitol that he blamed on medication but that Capitol Police union officials said might have been alcohol-related. ''I don't need that [aggravation] in my life."

Kennedy's press secretary, Robin J. Costello, vehemently denied yesterday that the six-term congressman was impaired in the Portsmouth accident.

''This is the first I'm hearing about it," she said of the allegation. ''It was a routine fender-bender, and as far as what caused it, you have to talk to police."

The report by Sergeant Anthony Cambrola identifies Lash as a witness but makes no reference to her allegation that Kennedy looked impaired. It says only that she told police that Kennedy closely followed another northbound car turning into the lot in his Crown Victoria without waiting to see whether a southbound Nissan Maxima driven by Guthlein was going to turn in first.

Guthlein could not stop in time, and his car slammed into Kennedy's right rear passenger door, the report said. Both drivers ''appeared normal," the report said. Guthlein, a chief warrant officer for the US Coast Guard at the Castle Hill station in Newport, did not return phone calls yesterday.

In a detailed handwritten report filed with police, Guthlein said he was making a right-hand turn into the parking lot on Turnpike Avenue when Kennedy suddenly turned left in front of him. Kennedy also submitted a handwritten report but it was only two sentences and nearly illegible, stating the accident occurred when he turned into the CVS lot.

Lash, the aunt of Richard Licht, a former Democratic Rhode Island lieutenant governor, said she was driving north on East Main Road before the accident when Kennedy's Crown Victoria made a sudden right-hand turn in front of her from a side street, narrowly missing her. She said he then veered into the southbound lane, prompting Lash to blast her horn.

The Crown Victoria, which was weaving, swung back into the northbound lane before turning left onto Turnpike Avenue, she said. Lash was passing the CVS, she said, when she saw Kennedy's car follow another car into the lot and collide with Guthlein's vehicle.

''I heard the crunch and looked in my rearview mirror," she said.

She was so upset, she said, she turned her car around and drove into the lot. She told Guthlein that the accident had not been his fault and gave him her phone numbers. Kennedy, who had gotten out of his car unsteadily, stood swaying for a few moments, then approached Lash looking glassy-eyed, she said.

''I said, 'Excuse me, do you realize what you did up on East Main Road? You could have hit me,' " she recalled.

It was only when he apologized, she said, that she realized who he was.

''I went, 'Oh, my goodness, you're Patrick Kennedy,' " she said. ''He kind of nodded his head."

....a Liberal's entire philosophy of life is built around tearing down standards, eliminating morality, breaking things loose so nobody has to feel bad about anything.......It's almost as if they claim some special virtue by being frank about their degeneracy........

Liberal nirvana is when a Liberal "feels good" about him/herself. In order to dispel the confusion brought about by their self-created "Moral Relativism" a Liberal "takes responsibility." It's the only thing that makes them feel really good inside.

Kennedy is screwed as far as a Senate seat goes.

Addictions and car wrecks haven't dampened Unca Teddy's career in the Senate.

It`s incredible to me how anyone can get into public office by name alone despite having the worst character possible. Like I said in another post, it is far time any and EVERY person who is an elected official be subjected to routine mandatory drug tests. Think about it, this Kennedy or any other member of Congress could be hardcore drug addicts, heroin, cocaine, but nobody would know about it would they? The "lobbyists" for these idiots could be Bob the local coke dealer for all we know. "Yo man, vote yes on this and I`ll throw you an 8 ball" I tell you, it would explain a lot of the irrational decisions they make.

Obviously, you don't know Patches. Beer is for the little people. It would be Chivas or Long Island Ice Teas.

That is a boldface lie! Someone should contact Wikipedia to correct this error. Even more importantly, someone should find out which Kennedy submitted this lie into the Wikipedia entry to begin with.

The sleeping medication zolpidem (Ambien) can cause some people to have episodes of behavior that they cannot remember afterwards. Taking just the right (or wrong) cocktail of that and other stuff is a prescription for disaster. For other people, it's just a good sleeping pill. It will probably get Vioxxed off the market after this propensity comes back to bite the pharmaceutical house.

So the taxpayers pay his medical bills. And when Chappy Kennedy has a stroke or has liver disease, the taxpayers will pay his medical bills. Something is wrong with this picture.

Did Chappy or his kid ever serve in the U.S. military, or were they exempt from that too, just as they are exempt from the law?

Despite the absence of breathalyzer test results or another chemical test's results to indicate the presence of alcohol or mind-altering drugs in his blood stream at the time the lad was "pulled over by the police" (har!) as his vehicle smashed into the concrete barrier, the prosecutor can still choose to charge the tardy voter with operating a vehicle while intoxicated or while impaired. This would be based upon the underprivileged lad's physical demeanor and appearance as witnessed by the hard line cops (umhmm) who tagged him with traffic infractions, plus his subsequent public admissions that he was effectively under the influence of his "prescribed" medication. So sayeth yours truly, former Deputy Prosecutor.

Well, there's hope that all liberals will come forward and seek treatment now.
